If you could remove all the pain would you still CTB?

[sephlove]

Would you?

On top of the pain, I don't have the will or desire to live. I do not see anything worth living for. So why on earth would I not CTB?

 

[ClownMe]

Technically, if all my pain could be removed I wouldn't be suicidal. For that to happen though I would need an entirely new brain.

The thing I care about the most is avoiding future physical pain. I have a great deal of emotional pain at the moment, but emotional pain of any degree is a joke compared to real physical pain.

I would still ctb since any method would then be painless by definition, making even the worst methods peaceful. I also don't have any reason to live, even if my emotional pain would subside--and I don't think I am able to find a reason in this day and age.

Pain or no pain I am, have been and always will be suicidal.

 

[ExhaustedExistence]

Hell yeah! It would be much easier if I couldn't feel any pain.

 

[verloren]

I would not ctb if i could remove the pain, suffering causes my suicidal intention

 

[RedHarlequin]

Yes, I would. The anhedonia is awful. When nothing interests you anymore I can't imagine having an ok life.

 

[WornOutLife]

Do you mean the mental pain? If I didn't have to deal with that, I might try to keep on living because I'd probably have a stable and "normal" (boring) mind.

If you meant physical pain, well, if I couldn't feel it I'd ctb right now.

As for the lack of motivacion to do stuff, I know what it feels like. That's the hardest thing to get rid of.

I think looking for hobbies over and over again and doing simple stuff such as taking a shower are the key to feel better.
At least that worked for me.

Hugs,

Matt

If my life gets better, I'd set a better plan to CTB. Maybe I'd be able to get SN, and I'd set a precise date to CTB.
In my current situation, I can't even get a peaceful exit, but I'm gonna to risk the whole thing.

Same.

 

[FuneralCry]

I think so. I have simply never been suited for this life. I have always lacked the will to live and the ability to cope with it. Even as a teenager there wasn't many actual problems with my life I just saw it as pointless and nothing interested me. If the sources of my pain were removed i'd still have that kind of mindset. I have always hated the idea of living until I was old anyway.
