Discussion Im actually grateful I existed

[MeowTheFlemishCat]

I'm grateful I got to exist and if it wasn't for the circumstances or chronic illness life would be WAYYYY to short.

In a way, I am too. My best friend has had a rotten life and rotten family and I was able to give him something more. I was able to give a lifetime of memories to my loved ones. I can look back and know I was loved and I'm grateful for that. Life certainly wasn't all bad, it's just become too much.

Me too. I mean, most of my life has been pretty horrible overall, but there was one brief moment I was happy, and that made it all worthwhile. That ended a long time ago, and a lot has happened to me since then, but I was never able to overcome the emptiness that its end created within me. I sometimes think I really did die all those years ago, and ever since I've existed in this world as a kind of animated corpse.

I am not. Existing for just 10 minutes are already miserable while nonexistence for billions and billions of years didn't cause us any pain. It's true you can have some happiness in your life but what's the point of it? We don't need happiness at all if we were never born.

I truly can't comprehend how anybody can be grateful to be alive. Oh wait, I can but damn is it so frustrating to see people talk about life as if it's this beautiful thing to experience when it really isn't

I feel exactly the same way. I'm so proud of what I accomplished in life and what I got to experience. I wish I never became ill. Life isn't fair.

It's scary to read this.... because it's when we start to get ready to leave.

I hope i'm wrong about this... but that's how i feel.

Me too had a good upbringing cool memories enjoyed many things, when my time comes i will hang on those moments

 

[Amarajoy]

I am too. I actually find so much to enjoy in life and had a lot of things I still wanted to accomplish. Sure, nonexistence is painless. But I'm not ready to leave and I'm upset my life got cut short by chronic illness. All that said, humane ways to exit should be available. Living in constant suffering just causes PTSD.
