Discussion Is there a slightest chance some of your best days are ahead of you?

[HadItAll]

?

 

[Sulyya]

Trying to make it that way.

 

[bloberta]

honestly yes but i dont think im strong enough to make it to those days

 

[Unnamed_User]

Yes, probably, but I doubt I'm going to make it that far.

 

[SilentSadness]

I suppose that it wouldn't take much for a day to be one of the best.

 

[Deadweight]

Depends on how worse it gets first, may not be anything left to build a content life on

 

[epic]

I think I might have been misdiagnosed but on the other hand whatever my disease is , is getting worse. Misdiagnosis means there is a chance for a less serious diagnosis .

 

[anxious_depressive]

No

 

[Forever Sleep]

Who knows? Maybe but equally- maybe some of my worst days are still lying in wait just around the corner!

I've never really been that sold on that missed potential motive to stay alive. I think perhaps it is more for the people left behind. It's those truly great legends that die before their time that we wonder what we- the world missed out on because they died too soon. For them though- their struggle is over. I think suicide is a decision most people take pretty seriously. I imagine in most cases- it's because people realise that their bad stuff in life outweighs the good. I imagine- if they could have seen a way to tip that balance- they likely would have. In fact- they most likely did at least try. I expect a LOT of people have ideation for years- maybe decades before committing.

Surprising amount of Yesses. When you get to my age, you know it's over. I look back on my life and I couldn't make it work over decades, so why would it work suddenly when I am older, uglier, poorer, balder, lower-T, lower-energy, etc? For me, it's like the universe is telling me that now is the right time for me to go. If I could see a time in the future where I could be happy, I wouldn't be on this site. I have thought long and hard about ctb and I have given my life ample time to improve or for me to improve it. Some things are beyond your abilities.

I won't make it there. I feel like I threw away any good chances of better days. They're all so miserable

Yes as soon as you are over 50 and your life is useless, then it only downhill from now on. Mentally and physically weaker every year.

Depends on what you consider to be "best days."

Personally, I think the idea of what people naturally believe to be the "worth it" part of life is fake. Find a hubby, settle down, have a good job that can pay the bills... is that supposed to be it? Is that alone supposed to be worth it? Definitely doesn't feel like it and it hasn't proven itself to be.

The only thing that would "get better" in my future would be earning more money by going to some college classes and climbing the ladder in my company. Mayne marrying my boyfriend. But for what real purpose in the end, you know? Is that really the final stretch, is that what everything you've ever gone through worth? You're just meant to be okay with that, and live that way until you die? "Congrats, you made it to the final level! Monotony."

Not for me, man.

 

[aubrey!]

My best days are long behind me. Now my entire future is full of past mistakes. I can't move on.

 

[Lament]

I think that my best days are still ahead of me, but my current circumstances are what's killing it if anything. I can't get myself to do work and falling behind right now is only digging myself deeper into a hole.

 

[BlackWednesday]

No it's impossible because I'm past the point of trying to improve my life.

I'm shocked by the number of yes answers on here. I wouldn't have thought sucidial people could be so optimistic

If I could go back in time a couple years, I would still be fucked but at least I could try different things not to end up where I am. Youth is very important in this matter. Obv it can't solve everything.

Would take me more than a couple years, more like 40yrs LOL

 

[FuneralCry]

Existing only gets worse as time goes on, and anyway there is no benefit to existing in this hellish world. Life in itself is something disgusting, useless, harmful and unnecessary, so the best day will be when I finally lose the ability to suffer.

 

[Anonymus]

Yes, obviously the possibility exists, I am 45 years old and I know very well that it is very possible, but what is more true is that the worst days will also come, without any doubt that this will be the case.

But just because the possibility exists doesn't mean it has to happen.

If I have to take the worst stretches of my life these would be from 2 years to 5 years, from 13 years to 21 years and already exaggeratedly from 38 years until now (45). There have been specific years, such as 27 years, 31 years and 34 years.

//

Si, evidentment que existeix la posibilitat, tinc 45 anys i se de sobres que és molt possible, però més cert és que els pitjors dies també vindràn, sense cap dubte de que així sigui.

Però que existeixi la possibilitat no vol dir que hagi de passar.

Si tinc que agafar els pitjors trams de la meva vida aquests serien dels 2 anys als 5 anys, dels 13 anys als 21 anys i ja de forma exagerada dels 38 anys fins ara (45). Hi hi han hagut anys puntuals, com els 27 anys, els 31 anys i els 34 anys.

 

[losingit]

No, I don't think my situation/life will get any better from here on out… I think it will get worse

 

[HermitLonerGuy]

Absolutely Not, my best days are gone and i was too oblivious to even appreciate them.

 

[outrider567]

With my girlfriend dead, my best days are way behind me, there is less than zero chance of any 'bright' days ahead

 

[lost-unfound]

I think there's always a chance of some kind of crazy miracle, the question is how much is it worth putting yourself through just for that sliver of a chance

Sorry that happened to you, could be hard to move on if you never really broke up.

I do however think it's a situation you can recover from and maybe find a new girlfriend eventually. Of course, I don't know all the details and if that's the only reason you're suffering.

I'm 68, we were together 35 years--No one can replace her and no one will--I will join her soon

Aren't you surprised how positive people seem to be? I bet everyone reading assumed you were young and would eventually find a new girlfriend. As if finding a girlfriend is easy anyway. But then when you dropped the fact that you're 68, well, that's the nail in the coffin of the argument. Other people think that my lack of positivity is cuz I just choose to be negative. But no, it's cuz it's my life is fucked.

 

[Conker]

Even then, I'd rather cease to exist.

Doesn't matter how physically lucky I can get on this world or the upcoming ones.
There's still this overarching feeling of wishing to be liberated from it all. I can only ignore it for so long.

It's just too ugly & terrifying now that nonexistence has become an improvement over being here in any shape or form.

 

[TimeHasCome6]

They will be if I can make it there. Then they'll be over an dill have no reason to prolong the inevitable. :)

 

[ExistHarm]

honestly yes but i dont think im strong enough to make it to those days

me too.
