Discussion Would you still consider suicide if things got better?

[a_dead_mess]

I've always thought about this question since I started falling into depression. I came across many answers but personally, even if things got better I'd still want to leave this place.
there are so many hardships, wars, and evil that people go through on a daily basis that it makes me wonder if our existence is even worth it. wealthy people control this world, and the rest suffer to even make ends meet. even the idea of God sounds sadistic to me

 

[catflowers]

yes there is nothing wrong with my life yet im going to sn myself tomorrow

 

[WhatPowerIs]

I would not commit suicide if things got better.

 

[Hangman]

Pretty sure if I lived a different life I wouldn't consider suicide as much.

As in good workplace, friends, partner, kids, hobbies, better mental health and such.

 

[sewercide]

No. But I got brain damage, hard to reverse that.

 

[BeansOfRequirement]

The damage has already been done. But, I suppose it would increase the likelihood of me staying alive longer for the sake of family and donating money or something.

 

[l0sing]

I don't see my pain ever getting better, and even if it did then all I would be doing is questioning when the next bad thing will happen

 

[WorthlessTrash]

Only way things can get better for me (to the point where I find life worth living) is if some breakthrough technology came out that put my being in the body of a female (or let me trade bodies with a female who is gender dysphoric).

Basically, never going to happen.

 

[Klophy]

If things got better? Yes, definitely.

Getting 'better' would involve unrealistic scenarios though...

 

[Wiresnake]

On the astronomically small chance that things got better, yes.

But it is near impossible. I was screwed since before my dad was even born. Yes, really.

 

[a_dead_mess]

If things got better? Yes, definitely.

Getting 'better' would involve unrealistic scenarios though...

that's true. you'd basically need to be a god in some sense so that everything you wish for at this exact moment would happen to you

 

[Gustav Hartmann]

The are two reasons for me to kill myself, autassassinophilia and old age. If I were young again and not perverted I would not be suicidal. But would this be better? Extreme masochism is part of my personality and I would grow old anyway. Autassassinophilia makes it easy for me to avoid a slow and degrading death in a nursing home.

 

[y'ffre]

No, if I can end my pain I will live. Suicide is one of the solutions for me to end the pain. I don't find life here awful I am just in pain and I don't want to suffer.
The interesting part is my pain is fading slowly every day.
That's why I am not suicidal nowadays.

 

[CemetryGates]

Yes, I have BDD but that's not the only factor in me taking my own life. Lets say hypothetically that the BDD just went away and I was mentally healthy again, I'd still be in the rat race of life. I would still CTB.

 

[redeyepiranha]

Yes, just because my life is good, doesn't mean I'd stop potential suffering in the future, plus the main reason I want to ctb is this fucking twisted, clown world

 

[DunnoWhyButYeah]

Yes.

 

[bloodbank]

No. If I really believed I'd ever be financially stable or find a fulfilling job or a loving partner, I wouldn't be on SS.

 

[nys]

I'm not sure that things will ever get better, but if they somehow did, then I definitely wouldn't want to ctb

 

[Job Joad]

I'm having some financial problems which is what is pushing me over the edge now, but the truth is if they were gone I'd be happy like a day, but then still back to wanting to CTB. Life in general doesn't offer enough good things to make it worthwhile.

 

[Area Man]

I went through a turbulent time back in March and felt pushed to attempt back then for the first time but decided to not do so a second until the situation had calmed somewhat. A few months later and things are quieter than then but not likely to improve and could blow up again more likely. I live live with a sword over me and it makes for a poor quality of life so I'm coming to a more rational conclusion that ctb is the path out of this.

 

[FuneralCry]

In my case, I could never want to live no matter what happens, I want nothing to do with life at all. I believe that wanting suicide is the rational response to seeing the world for what it really is. Things could never possibly 'get better' as life itself is suffering and I see consciousness as being a form of torture.

Non existence will always be preferable to living for me as it is the absence of everything. There are no disadvantages to being dead as the dead cannot suffer, only the living can. Even if things did improve for someone life can very easily get worse. After all life is unpredictable and uncertain so for me I see it as being the best thing possible to end what is the cause of suffering, which is life itself.

 

[a_dead_mess]

@FuneralCry this is unrelated to the post but you're the first person I've ever stumbled across on this forum. I've seen your comments on multiple threads before. I was honestly kinda waiting for a comment from you .

 

[Astral Storm]

I relate to you so much in this, so yes. My life is relatively good and I would gladly let someone switch with me, but I just want to disappear in exchange. Life is simply not worth it for me in any way. I never wanted to be here and now I will have to witness this cruelty and violence that keeps happening here for no reason. It's so horrible and I wish no part in this.

Yes ctb / Nonexistence is the only thing I want. Nonexistence is the most beautiful thing to me all my problems solved forever, no pain no suffering no aging no diseases ever again, no work no taking out the stupid trash , not having to constantly work and feed this animal body the trillions of monstrous cells that make up this body. I hate being an always hungry, aging, very fragile small animal that can suffer extreme pain

 

[forced2live]

i would like to prepare for rainy days.

 

[chloramine]

It would always be an option. I would be significantly less likely to go through with it, but it wouldn't disappear.

 

[Snatsbats]

No, because for that to happen the world has to change. Im just sick of all the injustice of the liars the cheaters the abusers and of the competition. This life is just so cruel and unfair. Only if i coule switch places with a very handsome social intelligent man i would maybe want to live, as people would treat me with respect and women would love me. I would be at the top of the competition.

 

[akana]

not at all, if i wasn't abused so heavily I believe I'd see a way to push myself through and make things better. hard to make your ideal and have rich experiences when ur gaslit

Yes, because every time things get better, it only last for a week and happens every few years. At this point CTB is ineviteble.

 

[Funeralprincess]

For me, yes I'd stay but things won't get better because there's things I need to happen in order for better to be possible and it's just not possible for me. Dying is the only thing that will save me
