Why is it so hard to leave even though life is absolutely nothing but pain?

[Tonight634]

Are we all here just overthinking it? I follow the local news and i've been seeing more and more suicide reports, be it train, jumping, even had a 15 y.o. girl shoot herself with her dad's gun (mind you i don't live in the us so you really have to have a reason why you want a gun to be willing to go through the process of getting it, guy was unlucky that he also had a suicidal child), also just yesterday or around that time a mother with two small children jumped into a gorge….Anyways what I'm trying to say is it can't be that hard why why is it so hard?? Are some of us predisposed to chicken out every time?

It certainly makes suicide sound so much easier than it actually is when you hear of people managing to succeed, I envy those people and the courage they had to free themselves from this dreadful world. To me suicide really is so unnecessarily difficult.

there was a post in SS somewhere from someone who was around a while which went something like,

when we have enough confidence in our method to the point that the fear in the method of choice is much lower than the suffering we are going through, the time would arrive to exit.

maybe not so much being a chicken but more of fear is higher than pain thing?

I'd say it's people fear, when your at lowest, you don't care, I downed a bottle of pills in an instant during my first attempt, I'd say it really isn't hard to die, it's just our fear is in the way
