Why do people die by suicide?

[yeged93409]

I'd like to hear your honest thoughts to this question.

 

[Praestat_Mori]

Dieing by suicide isn't easy and each individual for sure has a very long history of agony and suffering before finally doing the laast act to escape this horrible life they have to live.

In other words, life reaches a point of no return and it is completely unbearable and all hope is finally gone. Then the last chance to be finally realeased from all this is CTBing.

If you need to ask that question, why are you on this forum ?

For some of us life is very uncomfortable

It's like when a poor animal will amputate their limbs when caught in a trap to get unstuck.

It's like an animal pacing from cage madness.

These animals want to escape the pain by any means. They will rip themselves apart trying to escape

For us poor humans we can recognize a metamorphical trap/cage that many feel stuck in

For me admitting I wanted to die was the moment that I stopped brutalizing myself to feel something that will align me with life. I'm much kinder to myself now that death is on the table

Usually childhood abuse. Bullying. Sexual assaults. Mental illness. Unbearable or untreatable physical illness. Existential crisis.
The list goes on, but these are the main ones.
My reasons are dreadful childhood abuse. Bullied all through school. Mentally ill since age 7. Deep existential crisis.
I could go on but I won't.
I have many reasons to want to put myself out of my misery.

Incurable physical illness

 

[Stormy Raine]

Because we are in mental pain and agony for whatever reason, some may be physical pain. We simply don't ever see ourselves as ever being happy again, so we suffer in silence alone for years and finally life drives us to the point that we refuse to continue on. We just want to sleep forever!

 

[Superdeterminist]

an uncountable number of different reasons. the only common feature of *most* reasons is: suffering which can't be escaped.

 

[absolomonisgone]

ok. i'm going to rant, write long disconnected stuff etc as to why people commit suicide. ok, here we go
of course there are physical illnesses(which some of us never experience, and have no legitimacy to even comment on), - then we have mental illnesses(this is real, though some people discount it. mental illness is real.., even in places without pyschotherapy and such- i know this because my cousin who essentially was unaware of the world we live in- you know the world of big cities, big education, big money, etc- he killed himself--- have always wondered how he figured life wasn't worth living and he killed himself with pesticides-- poor guy went into a coma for 3 weeks--, doctors and medical establishments are evil).
besides physical and mental dysfunction, we also have guys who have failed in society...., the guys who refused to be good/nice/complying employees and yet had no guts, drive, etc to make it on their own.

 

[SamTam33]

Because they are here on this earth through no fault of their own and they want to escape.

Because the act of 'living' isn't always an easy thing. We are born into a world we need to adapt to. Often in unfair conditions. As humans, we didn't only destroy the earth but ourselves. Humanity will certainly be the death of mankind.

Anyways, many factors play into this dissatisfaction of our own life. Some are resolvable and others aren't.

Point is, that humans can only carry so much. Eventually, they will break. You can get back up, alone or with help but not forever.

Due to different reasons people stop seeing the point in living. Sadly, there is no exit option for those people. So they have to resort to suicide to finally free themselves of their suffering, once and for all.

This perfectly applies to me, plus heroin addiction at 14 to deal with my mental anguish. Heroin is the only thing that gives me relief and a temporary will to keep on living.

If you need to ask that question, why are you on this forum ?

Because different people have different reasons to choose suicide. I was curious to hear from people what their reasons were.

I can only speak for myself, everyone has their reasons.

this world we find ourselves in....., if you have the ability to see it for what it is..., like you have no fear, greed, greed conditioning, accumulation of stuff, "respect', etc, ..., the world would look very different. although not discounting the base human condition...., we may feel one way from time to time. what we are feeling, thinking, or seeing the world or the moods we are in may not feel real tomorrow. ...,
all i know, life is all such a a dream. it's unreal. of course idiots believe it's real. that's why no real geniuses ever lived past 40. they all die in their 30s. Jesus, tupac, buddha, etc.

Besides everything, I know you did not just compare Jesus and Buddha to Tupac

Jesus, tupac, buddha, etc that was sad lol

 

[absolomonisgone]

why not? tupac, like jesus and buddha preached same message. the message is: listen to yourself...., aha.

I can't believe that someone needs to ask this question on a website that is full of posts about people wanting to die. Just the fact that this question needs to be asked just shows a lack of awareness.

The fact is that wanting to take control over one's inevitable fate is the most rational action in this harmful and chaotic world where there is unlimited potential to suffer. Existence is tragic especially as all that lies ahead for us is even more suffering, loss and decay all while being aware of the futility of this meaningless process of slowly dying.

It's irrational wanting to delay the inevitable when existence is filled with endless risks, leading to nothing and nowhere other than our inevitable deterioration from old age. Existence truly repulses me and I envy those who managed to overcome all the difficulties involved in leaving this world, I believe they were very determined.
But the reality is that in this world filled with endless anguish and torment, the only relief lies in the thought of permanently not existing. To die would solve all problems as without existence one cannot suffer, it makes perfect sense why someone would not wish to delay the inevitable, existence could never be a desirable state no matter what.

Because- for whatever reason- life had become intolerable for that person. They either couldn't see a way out of their situation- asides from ending it. Or- they perhaps knew of alternatives but those alternatives seemed too difficult to achieve- or- the end result didn't seem worth it.

I'm curious about your tag- under your username: 'Sorry to take the easy way out.' Do you consider suicide the 'easy way out'? I'm curious as to whether you have seriously considered it? It's pretty frightening when you come down to the nuts and bolts of doing it. I can't deny that perhaps it does seem like 'the easy way out' as a concept sometimes. I certainly don't want to face the rest of my life. I don't want to suffer.

The act of doing it though- it's risky. Plus- the mental gymnastics you have to go through to do it aren't easy. Asides from the very strong instinct to survive- most of us are taught that suicide is wrong- even sinful. There's that to get over. Plus- a lot of people worry immensely about the impact it might have on those left behind.

I think it depends largely on what you're hanging on for- I don't have dependants- no children, no partner, only distant friends and family now. The one person I know it would deeply upset- my Dad- I'm holding on for for now. So- should we feel obliged to keep going with our lives? No matter what? Who are we obliged to? God? Our parents? Our families and friends? Society at large? Should we feel obligated to live? No matter what kind of life we have?

 

[Jupit3rs]

Suffering in general? I would say this is a pretty silly question because it has such a simple answer. But I'll not judge you. Some humans suffer a lot daily, its a like having a life sucking parasite in your brain that drains all your energy without stopping. Mental or physical suffering... Its still suffering and constant pain.

reality/life only makes sense from wherever you are standing. if you are well adjusted... had a nice community, where going to school, getting good job, marry maryjane across the street, make babies, lots of money, climb the corporate ladder..., be recognised at the local church as a model citizen, etc. if that is how you got raised and it made sense or makes sense to you...., LUCKY YOU. VERY LUCKY. ..if, you found yourself with some cognitive/physical defects..., aha..., or too intelligent for life(oh, being intelligent is also a defect, for those who don't know).
so, that is how life rolls.
all the same, whether we kill ourselves or not, it really doesn't matter.
the only thing which matters is that we have sasu to express ourselves.
infact, will leave all my money to sasu, just because i can. i like doing opposite of what they want i do.

Many people have different reasons. I, personally, just feel null and hollow. I was, actually, really emotionally suffering back when I was 13-14, but now I just barely feel anything, except for some extraordinary stuff, like the recent fuck up from my friend (the feeling is a really painful anxiety, basically) or the sudden caring feeling for my best friend which is actually a completely new thing to me, hehe.
But in general I feel apathetic and blank, and quite frequently consider CTB since I am not really a person, do not have any real feelings and, in general, life to me is just a waste of time.

upd. Also, since I am from Russia and freedom is essential for me, I feel that if I, by any stupid reason, will not have a visa to another country (I am applying rn) abd stay here just a little bit longer, I will be legitimately broken. I don't think I'll be able to live here.
