Why fear something that is Natural?

[Heartaches]

I don't know.
I know Death is natural. I am not religious so I do not believe I'll be punished if I ctb. But I can't shake a feeling of nervousness, disappointment, emptiness. I have mixed feelings on the subject.
Perhaps it's a weird sense of pride where I do not wish to die yet due to the small things I've accomplished and make me feel happy, alive in a way.
Perhaps it's cowardice/egoism, denial, a sense of dread to the idea of relinquishing my small sense of self, my small mark on the world, my material posessions.
Perhaps it's about not having much knowledge or personal experience with Death, no one extremely close to me has ever died or been in danger of dying, and while I've often fantasized about death and ceasing my pain, I've never actually attempted to ctb, so it's difficult for me to visualize it.
Maybe it's cause I'm young and still haven't experienced many things in this world.
Or maybe it's a combination of everything. To be honest, it's something I've been asking myself for a while but haven't found many answers. I think my best bet is to experience death or a near-death experience in a near future and be able to reflect on it; I'm not sure.​

Honestly, I'm happy for those who find peace in the idea of death, one day I'd like to make peace with it. Everybody has a different relationship with her.

There is nothing more natural than the fear of death. When we fear death,we are much closer to our ancestors,however different our lives are today from the past,as that is,like hunger,A basic ,er,instinct (not referring to Sharon Stones lovely boo ha)that we all share.

It's natural but life has a cycle and when we ctb interrupt that cycle

I don't really care if something is natural or not when it comes to fear. When it's about suicide there's lots of things holding me back. What comes to mind is that I struggle with the permanency of that decision. I hope I will be able to take the plunge someday.

It is mostly biological. As humans we have a built in survival mechanism that makes us want to keep living at all costs to preserve the human species. That's the hardest part (for many) to overcome. As a society we don't talk about death much and suicide is the ultimate taboo. We don't seem to be evolving much because like you said it is natural to die. That's why we cannot as a community allow the so called 'normies' and the awful media to put pressure on this community and stifle our voices. Nobody is encouraged to die on here. You hear that, if you are a journalist? On the contrary, most people on here have been very supportive and listened to us. This is very much a pro-choice forum. Every human being has the right to end their own life, if they feel that their suffering is too great and there is no decent alternative. The site also has a section on here for recovery. So, either come up with better solutions, accept the facts or get back to your station.

Existence is all we know, it's scary to give up a life for nothingness. Although my regrets and mistakes torture me I know they won't matter once I'm dead so why can't I take the leap and do it?
