Just saw a mention of the distinction between the two.
Personally, I wish I could live. I don't want to die I just cannot fathom living like this any longer.
I wish there was a wider acceptance of true and justified reasons for not wanting to live. It's way too hard for some. Esp with chronic illness whether it be mental or physical.
Society expects a certain level of function and if you can't keep up you're sanctioned to a very low quality of life that is rarely understood.
Super depressed today. I hate this so much.

I understand what you mean I think. I want to want to die so badly sometimes but a part of me doesn't want to. Maybe I'm scared, or maybe I'm not completely disillusioned with the state of the world yet.

I get what it's like to be unable to live up to everyone's standards, and feel unable to go on because of it. I always feel like I'll never amount to anything because I just can't meet society's standards.

Most days I wish I'd never been born, and some days I wish I had just died when I was a kid. And yet for some reason, here I am. I just don't wanna give up, I guess. I guess I just want to want to live.

I agree. I don't understand how people can't comprehend the fact that life will just never get better for some people and that sometimes it's just best to let them die with some semblance of dignity left before they start to morph into something completely unrecognizable and horrific.

For me, not wanting to live this life and wanting to die are one and the same because I see death as the only way I escape this torment.

I've tried so hard to believe in the idea that life will reveal its beauty to me but it's hard to have faith in that when I have no faith left in myself to even begin to climb out of this hole.
I guess to be perfectly honest some people win and some people lose in life and obviously the winners get to decide when the game is over šŸ˜Ŗ

I agree so much with you. I think life can be beautiful and amazing, but unfortunately, not everyone can experience it due to various mental illnesses/disorders or abuse. I just wish I had a different life

I can very relate to what you write. I've got all my stuff together and could do it anytime but I somehow start
to second-guess things.

It's better to give a shit about society and take care of yourself and look for yourself!

I want to be well again. If I wasn't chronically ill and was back to how I was before becoming ill nearly 10 years ago, I would want to live. Its the suffering that I want to end and dying is the only way for that to happen.

Just wanting some peace

I'd personally choose not existing over everything, to me it's always preferable to not exist, enduring a futile and empty existence just to be tortured by old age and die anyway really could never be for me. I see so much beauty in the thought of this existence being finally forgotten about, death erases everything for us which is why I see leaving this world as being ideal. But of course the best thing would be to never exist at all in the first place, I see existence as being a tragic and unnecessary disturbance in what would otherwise be the perfect state of not-being.

But I agree that suicide really needs to be accepted as a valid option in this world. Even if people orignially wanted to stay here, the fact is that existing can potentially get so unbearable for them beyond how they can even imagine it to, so yes the right to die in peace is very important in a world where there is unlimited potential to suffer.

Absolutely, chronic illness is misery and even harder when you've experienced wellness.

Makes me sad just thinking about how people just watch others deterioration without a second thought.

It would be good to be able to just take a break from living, sometimes, without it having to be permanent. Just skip a few days or weeks here and there when things are too hard and come back when the worst has passed.

I don't want to die. But living is just too painful. I have resigned myself to the fact that I will never get better. Nothing works. It is a done deal that I will put myself out of my misery somewhere in the near future.

But then I remind myself that if that's what I want, then I shouldn't ctb yet, because I CAN get through hard times and I know better times will time after. Hard to remember that when things are awful but so far I've been right that things haven't stayed awful forever.

Ideally I'd have never been born, but I identify further with the "want to die" thing. It just feels like what I'm meant to do.

It's truly really really hard.
I have similar sentiments but still part of me refuses to believe that this is it.
Probably also some kind of psychological survival instinct.
Most likely why therapy and suicide prevention is highly pushed - to harness the mental instincts to believe in the conditioning we all had as kids. "
Dream big, the world is good, you have your whole life ahead of you".
It's all just so unrealistic for everyone in the world to have a meaningful life. I really wish it were different and easier to transform your life (or even your mindset!).
But it's lots of miserable days, defeat, powerlessness and lost hope.
But then I remind myself that if that's what I want, then I shouldn't ctb yet, because I CAN get through hard times and I know better times will time after. Hard to remember that when things are awful but so far I've been right that things haven't stayed awful forever.
Mental toughness and change is inevitable. I agree.
I just get so mad, frustrated and anxious that the changes to come will put me in a worse position than I am now.
Motivation is super hard to find when depressed. And discipline is even harder to establish when you've fallen in to bad mental/physical habits + full of stress hormones, responses and emotional dysregulation.
One day at a time and a positive mindset that has the capacity to make small, intentional decisions moment by moment in a positive direction is helpful. But staying present, grounded and disengaged from negative thinking/emotions is not easy either.
The word "can" hasn't been in my vocabulary for a while.

Absolutely. I don't want to experience the process of death. I especially don't want to have to do it myself and expose myself to the risk of pain and the method failing and making life even worse. I REALLY resent having been given this problem (life) to begin with.

For me, not wanting to live this life and wanting to die are one and the same because I see death as the only way I escape this torment.

Exactly.

I find it odd and completely un able to understand why my parents let and watch me deteriorate into a once peace loving hippie type into a monster who bashes raccoons heads in with baseball bats, letting me go months without a shower , sitting there watching me go into a panic attack and doing nothing about it but filming it, letting me sell everything I care about, letting me mutilate myself, then go out of their way to try to stop me from killing myself saying suicide "is the end of everything it's a big deal" its also a big deal to buy meth for a kid, also big deal to leave me sick in my room pissing on myself, also big deal watching a once brilliant person decline so much he can't even answer simple questions without saying I want to die as a answer.



Also big deal I have to wreck and destroy the house and vandalize peoples property as a cry for help to take me seriously but they do nothing. I can be breaking into houses and they do nothing.


I never had a bad bone in my body. Used to put others over myself. Give out money for free. You get the idea.


Now I've turned into a monster that I can't even look into the mirror. I've lost myself to the point that I deserve a bullet to the brain. When it's entirely my parents fault for not getting me help, like medication, I used to be on over 10 different drugs plus vitamins on top. Only to be yanked off and only have 1 drug that barely works, just gets me to brush teeth and be able to eat, shit and sleep, then repeat!


no purpose.


It's Also so fucking hard to get money, the essential thing to buy anything I need without begging screaming to the point blood vessels in my eyes burst literally, and getting fucked in the ass for a measly amount of money. My life is so fucked far more than my shit parents realize.




I'm not a bad person I never was but they made me into a piece of shit just like themselves.


They are so lucky I don't cripple them paralyze them before I ctb. They deserve to suffer for making me suffer.



I know a man who has a kid and he goes above and beyond. Got a real estate career as a landlord to become rich all for his son, spends 6 figure numbers on him. THATS a proper parent! When he sees his son declining in ANY way at all he immediately intervenes and does what it takes to pull him back and straighten him out.


While my parents let me run around selling my ass for a couple dollars, really? And not showering with sores ozing on my face, they do nothing. But they try the futile attempt to talk me out of suicide and restrict humane methods. While I say I will drink methanol and blind myself they do nothing.


I believe they are fucking sadists! Narcissistic pieces of shit.


I will Just let them clean up my brains everywhere after I take a 12ga 3" deer slug to the head.


As much as I want "dad" to go to prison for doing this to me and refusing to get me help. It's actually illegal to know someone Is suicidal and not get them help especially when they want help. He says oh they won't give ya what ya want when I specifically said all i need is the money and I will buy the meds myself. He wants to push off shitty psych drugs that I will fucking FLUSH than take.


Everyone must have at least 1 thing they really want or need. If people can buy 60k pianos why can't I pick and choose what drugs I want and what I know I need for my specific issues.


I acknowledge my problems I know what needs to be done like fixing the rotting abcess in my mouth thats spreading for 2 years now. What kind of sorry sack of shit can't come up with $1000 for 1 ONE TIME THING before it turns into sepsis and then costs even more money then before? 2 grown ass parents can't care for their deteriorating kid? Just one kid as well. Sad.



Honest question to you guys here. What's your theory on why they do this? Why can't they " do the thing" and get me together?



If shitty ass parents can't promise me a good life and care for their clearly disabled kid then give me the means to kill myself so you won't have to deal with me destroying your house from my anger caused by your lack of empathy. Sorry your shitty parents ruined you but don't ruin me too.


All I want is a fast swift death now. I will maybe find a way to get dad in trouble with the law,

I really don't want to die. But there is absolutely no hope for my health issues and they've affected me on every single level to the point where I am no longer myself, so I just can't live. That leaves only one option.
Makes me sad just thinking about how people just watch others deterioration without a second thought.
Totally agree. I've witnessed this firsthand from my own family and it's shocking actually. Never thought that would happen in a million years. People just go on with their lives like it's nothing. Really shows how truly alone we are.
