What keeps you from going through with it? (Aside from people)

[genesisofpasaqalia]

For me it would be music, one of the only reasons i didnt attempt sometime ago.

 

[soft-flower345]

Music and finding beauty in things around me, it's not enough to keep me around, but it is enough to keep me from ctb before the date I set for myself 3 years from now

 

[LaVieEnRose]

Fear of failure.

Fear of the experience.

Reluctance to give up the small but pleasurable things.

It's very frustrating when you know it's your time....

 

[TheHuman]

I just don't want to end up some mental health place where they take away all of my freedoms, I need to be patient if I want to get peace from this world. Unfortunately people want to keep us here as long possible, and extend our suffering.

 

[tams]

Music definitely for me too. The thought of never hearing some of my favourite songs again is a hard pill to swallow. Other than that, the few things like going for a bike ride and seeing friends.

 

[ggetout33]

The things I would miss out on, my lack of available method, I still have some money, fear of pain, and never hearing my favorite songs or playing my games or reading my comics ever again.

 

[EternalDaydreaming]

I'm too emotionally drained from my last attempt and I am still tired from it

 

[Praestat_Mori]

- Fear of failure and becoming a veggie
- Obviously still too much hope left that things could still become finally good again

 

[20ClownRules]

Art and animations, really.
If I lost my eyesight? Anything that is audio... Music.
I love art and music, they make me happy.

 

[nureinFuchs]

I still have business to attend to, if wasn't for that I would had gone a long time ago

 

[empty]

- Hope for the future
- The assumption that this is the only life I'll ever get to live
- The fact that there are many things I haven't done or experienced
- The things in life that I currently enjoy
- Fear of death

 

[numbnesshuman]

My loved ones. I don't want to break their hearts, even though I can't feel anything

 

[leftdreaming]

Dessert and hot black tea. Not even joking, that stuff is worth living for.

 

[spøgelse]

Fear of becoming a vegetable. Slowly saving up materials so I can avoid that.

 

[Forever Sleep]

Asides from my Dad- fear. It's not that I don't enjoy things in life but the bigger picture is that none of it is enough to make me want to stay. There are a few places I would like to visit before I go- but really- it won't be the end of the world if I don't. I don't think you can either regret or miss things when you are dead.

 

[AshClouds]

cowardice

 

[The anhedonic one]

Absolutely nothing is keeping me here.
I have also lost all fear of death now.
All I need to do now is find the right method.
Death by N would have been my perfect method.

 

[BredInTheDark]

Nothing. My best friend is the only reason I haven't CTB'd yet

 

[feder]

My loved ones. I don't want to break their hearts, even though I can't feel anything

At least you still care for someone and they care for you, that's beautiful. For me it's the same,my family and friends dont deserve to go through this.

 

[Козак]

I feel like it would be a waste to go out without at least doing some things i've always wanted to do, namely travelling europe and stuff. I just wanna X a few things off my bucket list, I think then it will be a lot easier to go through with.

 

[Pidgeons_Sparrows]

currently lack of access to good methods but that will sort itself soon

currently tangled up in some bs documents i have to file and wait for to arrive so

 

[thgilrats]

My best friends. The amount of money that was spent on me and my education by my parents. The possibility that everything will get better. My fear of dying. Beautiful things that I notice sometimes.

 

[outrider567]

Can't think of a good reason--Not worried about the method, like others here, because Nitrogen is complete and foolproof--All I have to do is breathe it in.....

 

[numbnesshuman]

At least you still care for someone and they care for you, that's beautiful. For me it's the same,my family and friends dont deserve to go through this.

True, but I'm so afraid one day that 'depression' monster will swallow me up…

 

[jazzcat]

aside from people, the fear of getting brain damage, the delusional moments of hope that I get every now and then

 

[FuneralCry]

I'm only still trapped here as the reality is that suicide just isn't straightforward in this world, there's no option of a guaranteed, reliable and accessible method which is the harsh reality of existing in this hellish world where suicide isn't accepted as a valid option. The problem is that suicide feels like an impossibility in this world where all the methods are either risky, inaccessible or just horrible/incredibly difficult to go through with, it disgusts me how humans are expected to just be prisoners to this existence and slaves to their suffering until they die anyway.

 

[MeltingBrain]

Waiting for things to get worse . Squeezing till the last drop .

 

[noxu77]

trying to help people

 

[skybluesuicide]

I made a promise to myself that I wouldn't do it and continue to get treatments in hopes of getting better until I reach a certain age

 

[Wainingspiritcries]

Writing songs and listening to music is really helpful for me. Sometimes I can escape through TV shows too
