Is there anything in this world that would keep you from killing yourself?

[glitchgirl]

my cat.

 

[willitpass]

even when i am at my best i still do not wish to continue living. life is meaningless to me no matter how happy you are. soon enough everyone dies and they are forgotten as time goes on. the only thing that could prevent me from killing myself, at least for a time, is if i somehow ended up pregnant and was not able to terminate. i don't want to put a child through losing their mother, that is extremely traumatic. luckily for me i am not intending on getting knocked up anytime soon

 

[Buffy5120]

And if so, what would it be? Sex? Love? Money?

I think for me, I would want to die no matter what because I hate society. Maybe if this world was different, I'd want to live. Being a billionaire or something sounds nice, but I'm sure I'd off myself once the novelty of being rich wore off.

Nope

 

[Wayfaerer]

No, other than a time machine or a billion dollars.

 

[purplesmoothie]

Changing the past and how I look then maybe

 

[TheSoulless]

There are things that would keep me from killing myself, like a shit-ton of money, but nothing that would make me prefer life over death. Humanity itself is one big contradiction, and that will never change. I don't want to be part of it.

 

[Swoods]

No. Not even winning the lottery.

 

[enzyetee]

$10k... until next year

 

[NightmareTour]

At the moment it's literally just guilt. The few people in my life don't give a fuck that I'm struggling and make me feel like a burden, but they sure do like to let me know how horrific it would be for them if I ctb.

 

[LastFlowers]

A time machine and a new face/body..or a personally acceptable version of the garbage I have now.
But like you, my hatred for people and society would still endure, but at least I would be able to have a voice about it, unlike now. There are so many things I would love to say to so many people, but the form I am stuck in causes me to cower as a defense mechanism.

 

[muffin222]

A re-do of my life without the child abuse, trauma, neglect, and bullying that completely re-wired my brain and my mental state

 

[YellowSneakers]

A cure for my degenerative neurological condition would most definitely quell my desire to ctb.

 

[mathieu]

Not really. If I found love that would make me want to stay but after the honeymoon period is over I'd be trying to die again.

 

[Jojo81]

Some million dollars

 

[LastWhisper]

Two people that told me that they do care about me, but I think (and hope) it's temporary. That's all.

 

[imdone1]

no, not at all.

 

[voidman]

Not anything that is within the realm of possibility, no. Besides, I don't want to spend the rest of my life living the rat race to survive.

 

[Lunaloveflood]

Thinking that i could try to be a singer. I'm too scared to miss something if i haven't completely ruined my chances before leaving.

 

[DeathIsTheWayOut99]

Probably not. If anything my brother might end up murdering me with his abuse

 

[Okami]

There'd have to be a combination of multiple things for me to even consider staying alive. I think that no matter what, I'll still have the urge to kill myself. The thoughts are practically ingrained in my mind; it'd be nearly impossible to turn them off. I've had enough and just want out.

 

[sadstuffie]

probably nothing.
maybe sex, fame, or being at my ultimate goal weight. but none of that could ever happen even if by magic for someone as worthless & ugly as me,, so yeah nothing. nothing will ever change my mind enough, I think I will always eventually come back to this mindset. I will die like this one day.

 

[stupid little girl]

A purpose. I need something that would feel fulfilling and give me a reason to believe that I belong here alive.

 

[laserfocus111]

my 3 year old son..

 

[Sans]

I once thought that having a lot of money would solve my problems. That is true to an extent, as I'd be able to fund hobbies and other things that I enjoy, but they say "money can't buy happiness" for a reason.

What I want most is a stable, loving relationship. I'm not sure if I want kids, but I can barely take care of myself, let alone children. But if I had a GF/wife who genuinely loved and cared about me, I would want to die a lot less. Even having a close friend who cared about my well being would do wonders for me.

 

[Givingupandgivingin]

If I could get divorced without upsetting my husband and children then I would stay.
It comes down to the two options for me - and dying seems far far far easier.

 

[Givingupandgivingin]

All of this thread is about not wanting to die but to continue living but only if certain conditions are satisfied, more than half of the things I've read are possible so why do people choose death over satisfying the possible conditions and continuing to live.

It is impossible for me to meet the conditions for which it would be ok for me to carry on.
Therefore my only option by default is to die.
I really feel it's better for me to not be here at all than to put my children through the trauma of divorce. My husband will also get a lot more support than if I merely left him. He will also get the children full time and he won't have to give me any money, which would be something he would hate. It works out best.

 

[puppy9]

Money lots of money

 

[262653]

There is something already. Survival instinct.

 

[Breadbfra]

My girlfriend who lost her mother due to suicide, my father and my mother. Nothing else.
Sometimes I think about opening my bread bakery but, you know, going in a full recession isn't helping.

 

[Futile]

At this point, even if I could magically get a normal face, I would be too far gone from everything and everyone to be redeemed. So no, there's no saving for this life
