I think it is probably way more intricate. At least for me. I have different approaches to suicide depending on my mood and environment. It is janusfaced and ambivalent. I am anxious about suicide. But I would be even more anxious if suicide was impossible. Maybe it is a love and hate thing. Maybe that sounds weird and the comparison is not perfect. Though when I feel pretty bad I wish I could kill myself easily. If I imagine the past pain my anxiety goes through the roof. I need something that stabilizes me, something so that I can control the situation. I am very neurotic and a control freak. I think this might be one reason why I am thinking so much about suicide daily.

I was exposed to incredible pain for a very long time in the past. It was way way beyond my limits. I felt pretty trapped because I could not do anything about it. Since that happened my plans to commit suicide became way more explicit. I am so anxious about that insane pain.

I have daily anxiety on a very high level. I have several conditions which make my existence a living hell. The sole notion of suicide as a way out relieves my pain a little bit. Also writing here in this forum about suicide relieves my pressure a little bit. Writing about suicide is a valve for me so that I can postpone that step as long as I can. At the same time I received the necessary information to go through with it in case I hit rock bottom once again. I think suicide is a very intricate and complex topic.

The notion of ending the pain, getting my dignity back and getting control over the situation are some reasons for my suicidality I guess. I think suicide is for me also a sign of protest. I think I am probably not the only one who thinks that way. The society treats vulnerable people like shit. Homelessness, poverty, lack of health care, disabilities, loneliness, social support. I don't have the feeling the society cares about me. Give me enough money for a life in dignity - I don't need a suicide hotline which sends me to therapists who gave me up a long time ago. I don't think the people are interested in fighting the roots of suicidality. They rather blame the symptoms of this dysfunctional system. I think this is one reason why many people here dislike the coverage about this forum. This forum gives me at least a choice when I reach my limits. My psychiatrists instead laugh me out of the room when I want to talk with them about assisted suicide. When the society does not care about me why shoud I care about their judgement of this forum. I know how these outlets report about lazy unemployed people or their agitation against certain minorites. I am sick of it. I probably kill myself because of poverty and most of the people who are determined against liberal assisted suicide laws do not give fuck about the pain of poor people. They don't have any empathy for them - so why I should i give a fuck about their opinion?

It's incredibly relieving for me to have the option to just check out now that my life is beyond salvaging. I think I would feel even more relieved if I had access to a method that is proven to be both peaceful and reliable, like SN. As long as there is risk of failure, the thought of ctb still brings anxiety.

If you have a method and did not previously have one before, did that help with the relief in any way?
Definitely yes.

Yes, it's relieving to me. I don't want an unfulfilling crappy life. I have nothing here that's worth staying for. I'd rather have no life than a life I don't want.

Perhaps it wasn't like that in the early days, but for years now the idea of CTB has been sweet to me, a relief in coping with a life and an identity I don't recognize and I don't want to really accept.

The only thing that spoils the feeling is how CTB is considered in society. I wish I was recognized the right to CTB and I was allowed me to do it with dignity and not like a criminal. I'm sure it is an option I would be able to consider and take responsibly.

Of course the whole idea of suicide is the only relief in this cruel world where we were so unfairly burdened with existence, as suicide is the only way to take control in a world where so much is out of our control, it's a refusal to delay the inevitable and it's the only way to prevent all future harms. I see suicide as being self care, there is so much beauty in the thought of leaving this world and being able to not exist for all eternity.

Death instantly solves all problems and makes everything insignificant to us, but I wish that I felt more relief from the thought of suicide as suicide barely feels like an option here in this society where we are expected to be prisoners to this existence and slaves to suffering. When death is the only relief for many in this world, it automatically makes it inhumane to try and deny the option of suicide.

The freedom to stop hiding, provided by this site is relieving.

I realized that I have been chronically suicidal since childhood with acute episodes so desperate to end the pain.

The acute episodes can be caused by aggravated circumstances and/or trauma triggers.

I have nowhere and no one to be raw and honest about who I am.
I'm exhausted from acting every day.

I feel like I live with exaggerated awareness and pain so deep that it's not survivable.

Sorry you are going through this, it is cruel

No… I don't want to actually die. I just don't want to live this life as it is without the woman I love. If I knew what was after this life and I knew the "relief" was optimal in respect to this then yes there would be a sense of relief but as is I just know there is no desire to live without her and there is a possibility that suicide may fix that.

Suicide is more relaxing to me than what most people consider a "normal" life. Whatever a normal life is supposed to look like, just the stress of working until you're old and in agony and finally are set free from it all.

Yes- in terms of: there is a way out if and when it all becomes too much.

No- in terms of: the actual praticalities of it frighten me. I don't want to experience pain and panic. I don't particularly want to hurt myself- I just want to be gone.

Most of the time- I just end up feeling intensely frustrated- because the wish to CTB is there but for now- I don't feel like I can- I don't want to hurt my Dad. Plus- fear of pain/failure I'm sure will put me off when the time comes.
