If you could press a magic button and instantly die, as well as wipe memories of you from all your loved ones would you do it?

I think the two most common reasons most suicidal people have not CTB is fear of failing their methods/fear of the pain, and also not wanting to cause loved ones, families and friends to be sad.

IF there was a magic button you can press, which erases memories of you from all your loved ones like family and friends, so they never knew you existed, and you just disappear peacefully with no pain, would you press it?

I would slam the button so hard one thousand times

 

[davidtorez]

I would prefer to press a button that would end all sentient beings on earth. Noone feels left out .

 

[voidstar]

Definitely. I've caused enough problems and been enough of a burden.

 

[wait.what]

Oh hell yeah.

 

[Woolf]

Press it? I'd play hungry hungry hippo with that feker!!! When I am done "pressing" that button, the damn thing will need replacing!

 

[FuneralCry]

Of course, such a thing is exactly what I wish for. All I want is for this existence to permanently and peacefully disappear into nothingness so it's like I never existed at all, I just want this cruel and meaningless existence to be eternally forgotten about. I have no interest in something so evil and undesirable as having the ability to exist, I simply wish for non-existence but only never existing at all is true perfection to me.

 

[bunny_brownie9]

absolutely

 

[ThymeToLeave]

I'd prefer to be forgotten by the entire world, but I'd definitely take this deal.

I wouldn't erase the memories of me to my loved ones. Why?

I have been in a state of acute grief for years, since my fiancé died. It never quite goes away and is part of my reason for wanting this life to be over (though by no means the only, I was suicidal to various degrees for decades before I ever met him, being with him simply gave me respite from that as being with him made the balance tip to making life bearable, instead of not).

But despite the pain of grieving him, would I want my memories of him, of us, of everything we shared and everything he brought to my life, erased?

No. Because I was happy and those memories are precious, he enhanced my life, he made me feel things I never thought I'd feel. If I erased those memories, erased him, then much of life as I remember it is simply hollow and painful: same with other close loved ones who have passed.

The pain of grief is testament to the love and the connection. And although it is exceptionally painful, it's proof that there were moments of beauty. There is comfort in those memories even as you hurt for what you don't have anymore.

Just my take. Though I understand the flip side of it.

Yes. Where is this button?

In a heartbeat. You found the two considerations. If there was that button I'd have no regrets.

 

[Pikmin]

In a heartbeat.

 

[pthnrdnojvsc]

Yes . Only fear of failure is holding me back for now

 

[ringo99]

Practically speaking wiping their memories would do no good since there'd be physical evidence of my life everywhere and eventually they'd piece everything together. I suppose the forgetting spell from the end of Spiderman No Way Home would be nice
