i need some things to maybe look forward to, i'm willing to have hope for a little longer. i've lost motivation to do most things and it's hard to enjoy anything. Maybe if i had a list of some things that are worth living for that i'd be more motivated to keep living

I won't presume it is a good enough reason for your list, but I'm here to listen when you need someone to talk to. I haven't had that in the past when I've been struggling and I wished I had.

Outside of that, sort of depends on your taste. What are some things you do still enjoy? Happy to brainstorm with you. 😊 Whatever your choice on CTB or not, no reason to not make your quality of life the best it can. I have your back.

It's somewhat ironic to ask this question here... But for me, personally, the only thing is holding me back is the connection to a person that is my friend, or kind of... It's very far from ideal and what i want. But a least that person thinks something nice about me, even if i don't see a real proof of it. So, I'm kinda miserable, but try to stay positive and not be a jerk to that person. So, I think I'd recommend to find someone to not be completely isolated. But no one knows how things can turn out, it can bring a lot of negative too.

I question that often too, that whether there is any reason for me to be alive, and if not what does that make me? I'm sorry you're in so much pain and I see you are hurting, I wish I could give you a big warm hug. What give me reason to be alive is not grand, it's not even long lasting. It doesn't have to be grand not long lasting, but something as simple as wanting to eat an apple turnover tomorrow. Just to keep going.

For me personally there is so much stuff I want to do but I just don't have the energy to work towards that and my plans never really worked out in recent times so why even try anymore

Learning the physics of Death

I used to ask this question a lot for the past years, I wasn't sure as well, as if it feels like dying is the only way out but I keep telling myself just stay for another day. And here I am, pursuing with my physics degree which is considered to be one of the toughest degree to many people. The point is that you will never know what's going to happen to you in the future for sure, but you will end up in good places eventually. I'm not saying anything that I have gotten any better or else I wouldn't be here in the first place, but I will get it done sooner or later

You could take mdma every 3-4 months and live until the next time. For me it makes me want to live at least a couple months more

Do you like indie games? Maybe wait for a few?
This is the first time I've gave a reason to live, I don't really like it.

I don't think it's necessary to look for a specific goal or reason to live. If you still want to, then you can keep moving on. If you want to do something, then go ahead and do it, no matter how other may think (unless it is harmful to others ofc). The way I see it, death is home and life is a travel. You left home to travel, and go back there at the end. We all travel for different reasons. Some achieve it, and some don't. But at the end, what matters is that you enjoy your journey. What is good about hopelessly running after something you can't achieve? What's good in weath, society's acceptance, fame, ect...if you never enjoyed any of those? Therefore, I think the only reason why you should live is for your own happiness. What you want to do might be something very simple, like: "Today I want to have a strawberry cake.". It is small, but you still took your time walking to the store to get it, and you spent your money on it. Therefore, you've achieved something. And that is enough. We all take time to develop, so don't rush and just start at the smallest things. Sorry that this is a bit off topic, but I think it can help you somehow. Anyway, I wish you the best
