When is enough enough?

[Testing123]

How do we know when it's time? I know it's different for every person but I'm curious… This is such a big decision. How have some of you decided enough is enough and it's time to go?

 

[Darkover]

whenever life becomes unbearable it's time to leave your a slave to the money then you die

 

[summers]

I want to go out before any substantial physical decline due to age sets in. There is nothing necessarily bad about my life, but I want to go out at my best, not someone who is only a shell of what they used to be.

 

[Rational man]

When dignity and physical activity is so low that life is over for me. When the pain is unbearable, when doctors wont prescribe appropriate medicine. They would rather see you die in agony because they dont want to be accused of assistance in dying, though we offer relief to our dying pets. Only humans can be so brutal by inflicting such torture upon another. Ive seen it many times and now im going through it. I dont need a politician or religious leader to tell me that assisted dying is wrong.

 

[Lost Magic]

Well, I have lost my loved ones, my physical and mental health is declining, I live in a dump and most people suck. Here is a part of a good Allan Watt's quote: Once we have ceased to see magic in the world anymore, we are no longer fulfilling nature's game of being aware of itself. There's no point in it anymore. And so we die.

Allan Watt's

GREAT philosopher. He has been gone for many Years but his wisdom lives on.

Great quote…. I think I don't see any magic in anything anymore. I'm young and it shouldn't be this way but I am so tired. And I look around and I don't even want anyone else's life, I'm just tired of life itself. Maybe I'm nearly there…

I think your asking the wrong crowd, the right one unfortunately can't be asked because their gone, they are the brave that stepped trough the gate into oblivion. Whatever we say is basically pointless because we are still here. We haven't reached our "enough", we just think we have and are lamenting about it.

[NormaJeane]

If we all could have a lethal injection by a doctor, the death process would be easy. If I had got a lethal injection, I would have been dead five years ago, but when I have to kill myself, death becomes difficult because I have to learn how to overcome the survival instinct, which takes time and find a method that works.

 

[FuneralCry]

We all have the right to exit at a time of our own choosing. Only the individual knows when it is time to exit. In my case, I have had enough but I am still here. I am only here because of a lack of a peaceful and reliable way to exit and there is the fear of failure. In my case, I will have to be extremely desperate for me to finally be able to get the courage to exit.

I'm hoping that I'll just "know" when the time has come. Right now I'm living under the excuse that I want to finish doing some things but the truth is I'm scared to take the plunge. I'm hoping one day I'll just have the clarity and the strength to go through with it.

Right. I feel you on this. I'm scared too. I want to get over that fear and just do it. Life is hell.

Interestingly enough, I just decided that enough is enough. I thought I lost my opportunity but now I'm realizing that I haven't. I plan to ctb soon since it seems that my SI has finally taken a step back.

I already lost the spark. I think its enough when there are no longer beliefs even in oneself

 

[demuic]

When there is nothing left that would make you want to endure living.

the other night i thought: suicide follows the spiritual death.... you can't live, if you can't see the infinite love in the world, in whatever form you it might appear to you.

Nothing makes me happy anymore. Falling asleep and waking up are torture for me. Every time I wake up I cry about something. There is no appeal to life. Right now I'm only living to please others, I'm like a robot.

I know the torture you mean… Waking up is the worst moment for me, I wish I could be asleep all the time. I'm sorry for your pain, tieiwi.

An interesting part of free will is being able to decide if what's been had, of anything, is enough. Especially for things so fleeting, what is enough? Does every sunset, ever, need to be seen, or are the ones experienced sufficient? What bird's song is the prettiest? It's surely not from a tern, but hearing that shrill even once is more than enough when you yearn for shore. Even the given experience, the seeing or hearing youself, maybe isn't needed? Just the knowing of a thing's possibility alone may be satisfying enough. It's all fleeting, and we each get to decide what is enough during our time.

Of course, the alternative to enough is more. And more is not better. More is more.

What more does one want? How much more can one take?

For me, there is contentment with what's been had, for better and for worse. It can be enough.

Surrender is the word.

You just reach a point where you realise that there's no reason to carry on, and you just go with it.

Couldnt agree more. And that decline has started for me so it's soon time for me

Yes. Feeling this one. I see there's no way back.

Thanks for this beautiful text.

Last time it happened when I just felt unbelievably trapped in my situation and couldn't take the pressure anyone. Another lockdown had been announced in my country and that was the straw that broke the camels back. Every hope was crushed and extracted from my soul through 2020 and I really didn't want to face continuing into 2021.

Obviously I survived but I imagine it'll happen in a similar fashion if I try again

For me, I've decided I won't allow myself to go until I have tried every helpful resource available for me. If I still feel horrible, even after trying every avenue of help (and I mean really trying, not half-assing) then I can tell myself at least I tried, and I can now leave this world without regret. BUT if I leave before I try everything that could possibly help, then I feel I cheated my own life, and I don't want to do that to myself. Everybody can screw me over if they want, but I won't screw myself over.

That is what I decided the moment before I went to kill myself. Not saying this mindset should be adopted by others, it's just made the most sense for me :)

 

[HHClarke]

Every night I go to sleep hoping I don't wake up. No longer have hope of ever being happy. I made a list of the people who would be affected and it isn't very long. Since I can't get motivated about anything in life, it's time to take another path.

 

[TerminalConscience]

I'm not really sure. I feel like if you can bring yourself to choose a method and aquire the materials it's only a matter of time. Atleast that's what I'm hoping for.

It is when life loses value in itself and everything becomes empty and worthless and you just don't care anymore, and you know you can't change anything and you don't want to change anything either... you just crave for the end of all things at once. And you don't care anymore about the consequences of that desire and you don't care if you're hurting someone because in the end nothing else has that importance that you gave so much, It is when your greatest hope and joy becomes the shutdown of all senses and consciousness itself. It is when the opening of the eyes every day is no longer a gift but a misfortune that needs correction. It is when you start grinding your teeth when someone tells you that life is worth living or that life is beautiful just the way it is. It is when you just want to disappear without a trace and you don't care who goes to your funeral anymore. It is when people's tears don't touch your heart anymore. It is when it doesn't matter anymore when someone tells you they love you because you You've already made your decision and love has no power over you to make you stay. It's when beautiful words and sensible phrases don't change your mind or your perspective on CTB. It is when you know that once the door is open you will do it. It's when you're so broken that you don't want help, you don't help yourself and you are unable to receive help and you don't care either cuz just the end matters for you, Its when you fail to have plans or dreams or anything that normal people focus on because you don't care to achieve... cuz you're just drifting and you want to drown cuz you just became so amorphous and formless that you've lost yourself and you don't even know who you are anymore, you no longer recognize yourself in the mirror literally and then you try to hold on to some shadow of what you believed to be true and realize that it was always a shadow anyway ...
It is when the very idea of some possible immortality of consciousness anywhere becomes a nightmare... you're just super tired of everything and you really just want to rest forever and really bag to god to be that way, whether out of cowardice or emptiness or pain, you just can't stand life and people and their quirks and whims anymore because all your energy is gone and you've become super intolerant of every little mistake or failure that comes your way...your resilience is broken for good. That's is MY enough.

Because we want social proof. That's what this all assisted suicide thing is about. If we could get someone to do it for us, or at least help, that means it's accepted, so it becomes easier.

The extreme end of this idea are the suicide bombers, or the various rituals in history where it was considered to be a heroic act.

If we do it ourselves, in today's society it is looked down on, and it brings shame on our families. This is part of the reason why it's so hard. It's all in our heads.
