What keeps you going

[mahakaliSS_MahaDurga]

I apologize if there is a similar thread already. I want to know what keeps you going, even when you want to give up on everything. For me, it's my dog. Just the thought of her being genuinely happy to see me and spend time with me gives me strength to live another day.

money i still have since i am jobless but it ll not last, and the fact that my plan needs a certain access i didn't figure out yet

 

[Dr Iron Arc]

Movies, tv shows, and games that are yet to be released. Though there aren't too many of any of those that I'm particularly looking forward to right now. I just hope by the time I actually plan to leave, there won't be anything I need to experience anymore.

[airboy_a380]

The hope to find a soulmate, that's what keeps me going.

hatred

 

[Matthias_k]

Sex, chocolat cake, indifference and apathy.

For me it's just day to day random stuff, like watching anime, games, food and small trips I might go on with or without friends. I suck at thinking in the long term; I am a hopeless person and I don't really have the energy to look into the future, so I try my best to just care about what is happening now.

Stubbornness, willful contrariness and learning.

Ambivalence about dying

 

[Nymph]

My rabbit, no one will care about him if I'm gone. It's hard but I guess I have to go on for some time

 

[Infinite Conscious]

Fear.

Both the fear of the process of dying and the consequences of such an act in the afterlife.

The first one involves the possibility of not succeeding in my method and being condemned to continue in a much worse state (vegetative state and inability to have a choice and means to try again).

The second one is the belief that there is really no escape. I believe we are all infinite consciousness which incarnates into human bodies to go through the human experience. Our souls grow and evolve through multiple lives and experiencing emotions like love and, especially, suffering. "Playing God" this time around may force us to have to go through the same lessons and missions, possibly having to face even worse conditions in the next incarnation. I don't believe in or fear "Hell", but some form of punishment must be there awaiting. I used to be an atheist, and it would be much easier if I remained one. But 30+ years of research reshaped my belief system. And no spiritual entities (or Creator) look favorably to suicide. We may not be judged and be condemned to eternal damnation, like Christians believe, but we surely will have to pay one way or the other for failing our life mission and lessons. Unless suicide itself was one of those lessons, which is an extremely small probability.

My dreams.

I want to die happy.
Not with regrets.

 

[Amumu]

I used to be a workaholic.
But now it's more hope that my physical health is going to improve and that a girlfriend is going to love me.

 

[Deleted member 19276]

I guess my parents, even though you know what the story can be there at times.
All of you, kind and caring internet friends from SS...
My computer.
And a bit like @StrokeMyEgoBaby , my dreams in a way too. :)
Dreams may be dreams, but they are good to experience still.
Anything else aside from that is... I guess distractions. My 5 dollars on the matter at least.

Same thing. Point by point.

 

[Breadbfra]

My parents, my dog, my girlfriend who's already been destroyed mentally and physically by her mom's suicide...
