What are some reasons to CTB?

People say that Catching the bus is selfish but I disagree. Ur life ur choice.

For me, my reason to ctb isn't rooted in emotional issues or mental health issues. Of course I do have some emotional reasons as well as some mental health reasons for me wanting to die as no human being is 100% logical but the crux of me wanting to die stems from how it's a better choice for me to make philosophically. If I'm alive, I'm going to suffer as well as be exposed to the risk of dealing with immense suffering on the future that gets inflicted upon me. If I'm dead, I'm permanently non existent so I am no longer at the risk of suffering. I support the view that death can't be a harm to the one who dies in combination with the view that an earlier death is better than a later death. Until I find a valid counterargument to this, my desire to ctb won't change

Your life your choice but that doesn't mean it isn't selfish. I say this as someone who is going to CTB in a few months. It being selfish doesn't make it bad or wrong though, you don't have to conflate the two.

My spouse, the love of my life, left me. I know, stupid reason, but it completely obliterated my mind more than I thought.

I wish my loved ones shared this sentiment.

My reasons:
Chronic pain & lack of access to affordable healthcare
Grief, emotional pain and trauma/ptsd
Too sensitive (cuz autism)
Poverty

I tend to think that giving birth to new life into this obviously twisted shit world is a selfish act. One selfish act justifies another, the way I see it. So, people that want to CTB should have zero fucks to give.

My main reason is coronary artery disease, which causes me severe pain 24/7. Additionally, various other reasons from my upbringing, along with my high-functioning autism, make it extremely challenging for me to find a job and manage my daily life.

Being dead early on is so much better

Because you wouldn't have to face anymore ongoing pain that you're experiencing in your life

And for my personal reasons at the moment as I'm feeling (because there's more deep seated reasons I could go on about, but this is what I would say for now.)

I really just despise on how I was raised and also just how much I was sheltered away from obtaining answers (because because of my mother being a narcissistic piece of shit) answers to life that would have prevented me to think that death is a liberating release from this world

How come people dont get it yet, this body is a cage of flesh

Outside of this body we are sovereign spirit beings.

Birth is Really Death. We have been dying since the day we were born into this prison

And the process of death will be complete upon us releasing the last breath.

The process that takes One from Womb to Tomb is Death>

The Process that begins soon after IS LIFE.

Life Begins After Death.

Energy cannot be destroyed.

Uncertain futures, and realizing that I'll be stuck in the body I hate most likely forever.

Personally, a shorter list would be reasons not to CTB

I understand, it feels so cruel to me how there's no acceptance towards the choice to permanently cease existing, what I see as selfish is how suffering is seen as to force and prolong no matter what even know this existence was imposed in the first place, I'd personally never wish for the torturous, unnecessary imposition of existence rather I just wish to be permanently unconscious incapable of suffering in any way, permanent non-existence truly is all that's desirable to me and my wish to cease existing is a result of existence. I'd never wish for the cruel, futile burden of existing as a human where one is capable of suffering to unlimited amounts just destined to be tortured by old age rather I just want to never exist ever again, existence just feels like a mistake to me, I see it as deeply undesirable to exist, only permanent non-existence can solve what I personally have a problem with which is existence itself.
