why does dying have to be so hard

[ryo the frog]

it's almost always painful and a chance that you'll survive with serious consequences. you can't even guarantee the death of jumping off a five story building. I have a whole "method list" with some crossed out because of the above. it feels absurd.

and because society is so anti-suicide, accessibility is a another huge problem. "easy to access" methods are painful and risky, while more painless methods are tedious to all hell.

this wouldn't be an effing problem if euthanasia were easier to access. not only would one have an easy and peaceful death, but others wouldn't have to have the memory of finding some desperate persons gruesome corpse.

it just seems the universe has it out for people who want to ctb.

I think because our damned society is against suicide. They see suicide person having mental disorder or something. They don't realise we just wanna end this life peacefully and with dignity. Nope, instead they torment people who tries to suicide ( in my country- India, suicide is a cirminal offence!)
And they also makes the methods that provide us with comfort nearly impossible to get.
Probably thats why we all have that gruesome image of ourselves when considering ctb. If it were socially acceptable, I would've consume N while holding hands with my loved ones.

I understand your frustrations. The fact that suicide is so difficult is the only reason as to why I am still alive, as I fear failing the method and ending up with damage. A peaceful suicide should be a human right, none of us asked to exist so we have no obligations to live and after all, we will all die eventually. All that life is, is just a pointless struggle for the sake of it. Life has no purpose or value and is completely unnecessary. Therefore suicide could never be wrong.

It seems that society just wants to prolong our suffering, trap us in agony until we die from old age. That is cruelty. I find it so horrifying how people have to resort to risky methods to escape from a world where wanting suicide can be perfectly rational.

Life has has thousands of years to weed out those who could die easily. SI is strong in us.

 

[keitaro]

i completely agree. it really sucks.

 

[Forever Sleep]

Absolutely agree. Even the most 'reliable' methods seem to have the odd failure here and there and the thought of surviving with life changing injuries is terrifying. Only clinically assisted suicide is going to be 100% effective and reasonably peaceful- no clinic would want a reputation of patients dying in agony or surviving when they have paid for the service.

I do sometimes wonder just how many people would die if it were as simple as a choice. I still kind of think it's the minority of the population who feel like this but I don't know- I think as a race, we are becoming less tolerant of putting up with our lives.

There feels like a big difference just between my Dad and me- he feels the responsibility to stay positive and keep going whereas I think more and more people are asking- 'why should I?'

 

[hellispink]

I know. Society is indeed full of hypocrisy. They make people so miserable in this awful place, yet they want to forbid us from leaving. They need slaves to work their 9-5 jobs with low wages after all. I wonder how many would leave peacefully if they were given the choice.

 

[FireWalkWithMe]

Society is not the main problem because ultimately there are always ways that do not rely on materials. Nobody can stop anyone from ending things.

The main problem is survival instinct, fear and the fact that you aren't supposed to die easily. That's not the way we were created.

DNA is a bitch. The A stands for Acid and that describes this disgusting, corrosive, self-serving substance very well. It should never have existed in the first place since it is the origin of all suffering that has ever been felt.

 

[locked*n*loaded]

I don't know if it's any harder than living.

 

[eve2004]

I wish I could just order lethal substances the way you UberEats a pizza. I'm sure this does exist, but you have to be in the "know" to get it done.

 

[HateMyPointlessLife]

I'm a screw up, who can't seem to ever do anything right. And have messed up endless attempts for years. I don't trust myself anymore. Personally I wish I could just pay someone to shoot me.

 

[PleaseTakeMeAway]

I truly wish there was an easier way for me. I have a single way out at the moment, which is by slitting my throat. I was traumatized by a video I saw when I was younger, though. Someone cut themselves with a broken glass shard, and the way their skin moved from it alone is just awful to even think about. Also, I don't want to make a mess.

I don't understand why it has to be like this. I don't want to hurt, I just want to lay down and die.
