Your Resolutions for 2024 (on Recovery Section)

[LoiteringClouds]

Hiya friends,

There's a thread about New Year's resolutions for 2024 on Suicide Discussion section, and many people say they're going to CTB in 2024.

what are your resolutions for 2024 ?

It can be about CTB'ing, or anything. Express youself for me it's either catching the bus or doing a recovery. I hate being between these 2 states of mind and I want it to end. What about you ?

I'm afraid recovery-oriented posts sound a bit invalidating to people who are in intense pain right now.
I'm trying to stay positive, or at least put a positive spin on my miserable existence. So I posted this thread - may it light a spark of hope...

I think every resolution counts, no matter how small it is - just existing on the earth needs perseverance.

I'll start:

My problems might have no solution,
And my life could take a nosedive,
But at least this year, I'll stay alive -
This is my first resolution.

I also have your desire for putting a positive spin on whatever I can, even if it's really hard. I try not to add to negative feelings if at all possible. So in that spirit I will share my new year's resolutions for 2024. I enjoyed the formatting of your resolutions, so I will also write poetically, but I can't promise it'll be any good.

What to do,
but something new,
Add one thing to what I can do.
(basically, learn one skill or something adjacent)

also:

Maintain breathe,
Avoid death.
(stay alive)

Considering everything is connected, I'm going with this:

Joy and pain
Always remain
I'll use my talents
To keep them in balance

Hoping for
A great '24
For all of us!

I need a purpose to live, don't know what it is so finding it is my resolution.

Now I'm lost
But I'm trying not to be
May I find the purpose I need
And fulfill the goal I seek

Happy New Year!
Thank you for posting, and I'm glad you wrote in verse!

May you be able to Continue To Breathe (CTB.)
And I think new skills can be a game changer. Good luck

Very wise - I want to do that too. In 2014 I attempted partial hanging - I was so exhausted and tried to avoid all pain, and it resulted in premature CTB attempt. I'm still suicidal but I've recovered significantly since then, to the point where I started to think I can have joy again.

I need a purpose to live, don't know what it is so finding it is my resolution.

Now I'm lost
But I'm trying not to be
May I find the purpose I need
And fulfill the goal I seek

Finding a purpose in life is notoriously hard, so I think it's okay to be temporary one.
I've lost my online friend in 2023. They seemed to CTB. They loved fitness so much and I started exercising at the gym partly because of them, so I decided to continue exercising to honor them. This is my temporary purpose in life. I don't know whether it makes the point or not, but it's okay.

Also, my New Year's resolution is 3840 x 2160 - I wish I could be rich by selling my screen real estate.
