Suicide trend ?

[Dead Already]

I joined SS about about a month ago.
Part of my CTB mission is due to death,
Losing others close to me.
There is much more, but this is whats plexing/vexing me today.
In the last two years:
My Best friend/Wife, 8 lifelong friends (3 to suicide), my Mother.
3 more friends have passed since the day i joined up, 2 more to suicide, one only 12 years old.
More people that I know have taken thier own life in the last 2 years, than in my whole lifetime.
Please, if you would, tell me why you think so many more people are choosing death over life in this present time-line.

I'm so sorry for all your losses. They must be affecting you terribly.

I just think life's hard and maybe more and more people are feeling less obliged to put up with it. I think some of my family members have felt suicidal in their past but I think they felt a strong obligation to their families to stay. I think people are a lot more isolated now. Perhaps the family ties aren't quite so strong. I think covid did a lot to isolate people.

I think many people are struggling financially as well. Who really just wants to live in order to work to make others rich?

Still- you knew the people better- what do you think was troubling them? Was it the same for all of them? I'm sorry. I've lost a lot of people to natural death and- that was hard. You've got to be feeling awful. Do you have ideation yourself? Has it made it worse? Obviously- only if you feel like sharing.

Society just feels broken to me, the more we are connected by the Internet and devices the more we are driven apart and isolated. Everything is about money, people don't really seem to care about other people anymore or if they do it's all just empty and false, just done for posturing.

The natural deaths are mostly cancer of one form or another, 1 stroke, 1 automobile accident.
My Wife from heart attack, she was really stubborn and hated Dr's, Mom from Bolvar polio.
The suicides are mostly very confusing, especially my buddies 12 year old.
I think the rest of the ones that took their own life were some form of PTSD, most of us served together.
I've been working on exiting for awhile now, CPTSD, severe depression, bi-polar...
At my age it took some thought in order to have as little impact on others as possible.
My plans are for CTB around end of January.
Isolation, covid, I believe you are correct, the whole world had to change the way things were done in order to pull through that mess.
Money and lack of it for sure.
It's definitely gotten much harder to enjoy life in the last decade.
Thank you, you gave me a couple more things to think about for it all to kinda make some sense

So true, as my older friends leave, my younger ones communicate so differently.
Lol, when I was younger, we all gathered for dinner once or twice a week, now my younger friends send me pictures of what they had delivered as they eat at home alone in front of the computer playing games online.
It really doesn't feel like anyone cares for anyone else anymore.
Thank you.

I personally don't understand why people would prefer existence over true relief from suffering, I see existence as being unnecessary, burdensome and futile, there is unlimited potential to suffer after all while one slowly decays from age, I could never want to reach old age, such a thing disturbs me.

And to me it just makes so much sense why people wish for freedom from existence, I could never see a point or appeal to existing, it's just tiresome and I think suicide is the best way to die as well, I just wish it wasn't so difficult to achieve.

There is just no peace in existing and I believe people ctb to find peace as after all there's no escape from ourselves and our thoughts as long as we exist, I see existence as being enslavement, we are slaves to our suffering and our needs, I've never desired to exist at all, only non-existence can bring me true relief.

But honestly this site is filled with posts of people explaining why they want to die if you are trying to understand why people wish to escape from existence, existence really is so cruel and is the source of all harm after all, I would always prefer to not-exist and nobody is obligated to continue existing.

I believe that existence is definitely some kind of cruel form of slavery, it's taken me over half a century to realize how tormented and deluded human beings are by nature.
Much more effort is put into control and fear than compassion and equality that would be healthy and inclusive to all.
Humans seem to be a form of virus, wiping everything worth living for off the planet that supports us.
Thank you for your views and opinions.
It helps me greatly on my journey.
