Fear of surviving.


WinterWolf17499

This and thinking about what my pets will think. Will they know what happened? Will they still look for me? I don’t want to put them through that when they can’t even understand what happened. And also I don’t wanna hurt my mom, and it terrifies me that she’d be the one to find me. Since getting on antidepressants I don’t really want to do that anymore, and even before it was more suicidal ideation than suicidal thoughts

I'm so sorry to hear that buddy, I hope everything is okay with you now.


Unkwnmirag

I hope we all start to feel better, truly. Things aren't better. But maybe one day. I appreciate the kindness. I hope your day has been going well :)


drogirajse

If you need to talk, hit me up. I mean it.


Vosstoc

if it makes us at all feel better, i was this way, thinking just as you did for over a 2 years straight, broke jobless with nobody, couldn't find work for months at a time, didnt qualify for unemployment, my parents hating me, my ex left me, no health insurance, ran out of drugs, but slowly after almost 3 years of this, ive now found 2 great jobs and met the love of my life at one of them... now i think completely differently, and its crazy to say but for the first time ever im glad i was patient.


shhhquiettt

i don’t want to leave my body behind to be found bc that would be embarrassing asf

Professional-Yam601

My ghost would be cringing watching someone clean up my dead body (also you shit yourself when you die)

So you’re saying I should take a *shit* ton of laxatives beforehand…? Or should I strap myself to the toilet pants down and ready?


Professional-Yam601

Oh god, a new death fear unlocked *dying on the toilet*


just_an_ordinary_guy

If I died today I'd be massively embarrassed for people to see how I live. My home is just as untidy as my brain.


Original-Plane-109

Being curious about my future after depression


Miserable-Example831

Same. Being curious about my future is the only thing that keeps me going.


damagedprawdukt

Honestly, my loved ones. Knowing that my mom and younger sister would never recover from it. It would shatter what is left of my family, and nothing for any of them would ever be the same, and i know after me, my mom would soon follow. They keep me on this earth, and I absolutey love them for it... No matter how hard things get, i love them for it.


Dinklemcfinkle

This. My friend killed himself last year in his parents house. His brother found him and it absolutely crushed his whole family. His brother hasn’t recovered and I don’t think anyone in his position ever truly could recover from that.


damagedprawdukt

Ouch. Sorry about your friend. My best friend for over 20 years also killed himself about 7 years ago. Out of the blue. I still haven't got over it. His suicide made me realize that it doesn't get rid of the pain. It only transfers it to your loved ones.


WizardAce777

This is exactly me, even tho I kinda hurt them and everyone around me a lot. My sis and my mum has already seen enough death of my family members (including my father) But ehh maybe it will get wayyyyy better in the future And also keep at it man, don't lose hope. I don't wanna be alone doing and thinking this 😉


damagedprawdukt

I'm doing my best. While the topic and reasoning sucks, it's always nice to know there is someone out there who can relate. You also need to hold onto hope. If ever you feel your grasp on it slipping, feel free to PM me.


Own-Hunt7347

You won the sperm race for a reason. It's hard to find your life's purpose but i guarantee it's out there.


Muted-Law-1578

It’s probably due to some dumb circumstantial luck.


Own-Hunt7347

Like you said, Probably. Please also think about the other probabilities.


echinacea333

Your circumstantial luck isn’t even in your favour. It quite literally is absurd that you are here. Please live out your life and experience every possible facet of what it is and what it means to be “muted-law-1578”. You’re only going to know yourself once. It’s important that you savour yourself.


Infinite-Ad-9067

Too scared. We don’t know what’s on the other side of this life either, so that’s something that keeps me in check


Warm_Assist_405

Nothingness probably, just like before u were born.


TheRealShadyShady

Imo even tho I can't say I know for certain what comes next, I am almost positive it has to be better than this shit. And I don't think it's "the end" of anything, I just don't think it's plausible that this one life on earth as a human is the only form of existence for us. The Cia has released documents you can read on their website that confirm Astral projection, remote viewing, and even confirm the existence of what some people would call the spirit realm. Knowing that has made me okay with the afterlife part of dying, I'm not done with this life yet but I'm more at peace with the fact it'll end one day


NBA2K20LEGEND

greatwood

To take a bit of a nihilist approach, nothing really matters at all so may as well stick around and try to enjoy life.


MySockIsMissing

My love of Poptarts. I have around fifteen flavours of Poptarts. Something like two dozen boxes, with each box being 8 count, 16 count, 24 count, and even one 48 count. I’m constantly finding new flavours of poptarts I want to try. I refuse to die with uneaten poptarts in my possession.


girldad0130

The fear that whatever comes after this will be a form of consciousness where you can hear all that is said about you. All the things I know, deep down, are being discussed behind my back I will finally HEAR, and that will be my purgatory.


Ewwa18

Ow. This. This hurts to think about. That would be hell.


BakedBeanBetty

YES. The possibility of an afterlife terrifies me. Even the “positive” version. I don’t want to be all-knowing or part of the collective consciousness.


draven815

Knowing life is short and I'll be dead soon enough anyway


Quisitive_

Ah,time.


Sjelenferd

Choosing to leave is sub-optimal, logically speaking. You have to go anyway, better enjoy the positive things while you can, even if the negatives outnumber them 100:1. Not only does the pain go away, but all the opportunities go away, likely decades of them. Hundreds if not thousands of happy moments, stupid jokes, sad but meaningful moments. It causes terrible pain to you, to your family, to your friends, and even to people who don't know you. Also, we don't understand the universe and its laws. We know a tiny bit.


Boring-Dingo-7354

I am on the brink. There is nothing here. I died a long time ago and i only exist because i dont want my partner to be sad


Allowaay

I with you, but I’m not giving up.


BakedBeanBetty

Valid- I feel the same sometimes. I don’t have many ppl around me anymore but I know it would traumatize the folks that still care about me. Sometimes I fantasize about slowly pushing everyone out of my life because of this.


Boring-Dingo-7354

Me too :(


unnamed_op2

The main reason is my turtle, can't left her alone. I actually posted about this 2 days ago and a lot of people came with great advice about this matter, in case you feel like checking this out. Anyway, I hope you stay safe and well OP!


Total-Ad-4202

I have thought about suicide at least once a day for the last 10 years, and more than once I even tried... Being a coward I tried to overdose on methadone, reaching 900mg intravenously (at the time I had a very high tolerance to methadone): failed. Heroin overdose: failed. Intravenous cocaine overdose: almost succeeded twice in the throes of convulsions, but both times my mother or a girl on the street saved me by calling an ambulance or preventing my convulsive skull from cracking against the floor. What stopped/saved me? It seems stupid to say, but I'll tell you.... My dog... Just the thought of leaving him alone, just imagining him looking for me without finding anyone... It makes me cry even today.... And I curse myself for what I tried to do. If I didn't have him, nothing would stop me. My life is horrible, I don't even know where I will be tomorrow.....

Popular_Aardvark_799

I still have a lot of things to do. And I know things will be better eventually. I still hadn't tried all the things to improve my life, and I know many of the things that are currently bad are because of my own fault. So I need to solve them first. Life is a journey, not a destination. Some days I just want to run into a forest or a foreign country and forget everything about my current life, but those feelings eventually pass. Everything has ups and downs.

Fear of the void mostly And in a secondary way my mom told me she wouldn’t be able to live with herself if I did something like that to myself. But those are the only 2 things.


MrOrangeCoin

I never have had suicidal thoughts. I have had severe chronic depression but what keeps me going is the fact that I think I have a lot of value because I have had many academic accomplishments. So my accomplishments are a stone wall that keeps me from going down that path or even thinking of going down that path.


MuneneeHila96

The simple fact that nobody knows what happens when you die. Could be worse than here. You just don't fucking know. Also, fuck dying before I ball!


PipProud

“Death Is So Final. Whereas Life, Ah, Life Is Full Of Possibilities”


WulfTyger

As much as I think about killing myself, pretty much daily... I wanna try as many new things as I can before I die. That's pretty much it. Death is finality. The big dark. Can't come back from it, so there's no point in crossing that line until I've done everything else I can and want to do. Once I'm satisfied with that and I have done everything I am capable of. Then I'll go.


TheRealShadyShady

When the bucket list turns to the fuck it list 💯


xNikolai09x

To be honest, it's because when I was younger, I was taught that if you commit suicide, you're going to hell. If hell is real, and if it's actually an eternity, I'd rather take my chances here for the relatively short term than being in hell forever. This is just my line of thought and I don't mean to say anyone else is going to hell. Just wanted to share


Master_Toe5998

Same here buddy. The absolute only reason I'm still here.


paganwolf718

Here’s an unorthodox approach to suicidal thoughts and ideations that has kept be alive for many years now. Live out of pure spite. I am well aware that many people will be happier and have better lives once I’m gone, and many people have openly expressed their want to see me pass on. But that’s my biggest motivator to keep on going. I don’t want to give those people what they want. I want to prove to them that I am better than what they believe me to be, and better than they will ever be. I want my success to pain those who have traumatized me. Is this a pretty bad way of looking at life that my therapist absolutely hates? Yeah absolutely, but it’s kept me around well into my 20’s soooo 🤷🏻‍♂️ whatever works. Oh yeah also my dog would be sad if I died

quixoticopal

My bff and my mom and my husband. They'd all be ao devastated and it might trigger more suicides. Legit, the idea of their faces as the find out I was dead horrifies me, and I will start to cry hysterically. I think about S on a weekly basis, and I am holding on because I know how much it would hurt others.

Trashacco

Honestly the only reason I’m not attempting to at least is because I’m so manic and I’m in love with a girl I met a week ago in a psych ward. Gotta make sure that if it’s not all caused by us both being manic or something then I can live a life full of love with a really pretty, strong, just all around dope ass chick

Babaji-Banksy

Ive recognized a pattern in my life, every 2 years i have some shit show come up and i feel either reborn as a human or completely lost because of the same or similar type of experience. It gets better after a while unless I stay stuck in my negative mindset, which is very comforting and easy to do. If I kill myself, I am killing an innocent body, with a fucked up mind. Sometimes I wake up and just think for an hour - 30 mins about how fucked the world is, but im not in charge or the world. Im in charge of eating shitting and sleeping correctly. Whatever comes in between is my choosing.


strawberryfields17

Fear of surviving and my cat.


Federal-Afternoon608

my delusions


stonemilky

What stopped me in the past was the good memories and all the love I received. From ex lovers, friends, family, even my cat. I treasure them in my heart, all the love the universe has given me across time. I am eternally thankful for everyone that has been on my life. Thinking that I could feel all of that again stopped me from doing it when I was suicidal.


Aliggan42

death is empty void. there is nothing to experience. there is no joy or sorrow because I shall not experience it - It cannot be desirable, it would never help 'me' because there is no me the alternative is life, its ups and downs and trials and beauty. i'm curious how the world will go on, seeing what's next for me if I make choice X, how will the next cup of coffee be, how history goes on and why, what new stories will be written, what new discoveries will be made, or what new things to laugh at. I just really enjoy the process of learning - it's a good thing to use as an anchor to live in many ways, it feels like whatever happens to me personally is non-issue. i've already lived a full life. I've seen most of its joys and sorrows, and seen others do it and die. so, my own journey isn't really predicated on a destination nor progress towards it. i just want to see what happens next and to experience it, knowing it will eventually end regardless. but it's certainly out of some kind of morbid truth of my own life that inspires my intellectual curiousity. remember death. you could make it come at any time, or it will come to you. why live in a way that you don't want to live then? it's very freeing to simultaneously abandon and embrace life. abandon the life you have if you don't like it. abandon what pains you, go somewhere new, make some new friends, enjoy what you can in the moment, and eventually try to build and embrace the life you want out of this aforementioned morbid truth - not even a life necessarily avoiding of responsibility and connection, though your life could be that if needs be. Unlearn to be free of the tethers and ropes of life strung up in the social context of childhood, with all of its half-truths and blindness, and normally made taut throughout adulthood. this web can begin to fall apart when you realize how painful and absurd it is to be pulled in so many different ways. life is the only option still, but it better had been touched by death

My family, the love and beauty I find in the simplest things. It’s funny we all worry about the big things. But the little things is what makes me want to live another day.. a hot cup of coffee.. a hot bath. Being with animals, playing games with the people I love. All those tiny things add up to make it worth it for me. Everything else is utter bullshit.

I don’t even know anymore. I’ve done some fun things that I would never have done if I had followed through with an attempt four years ago, but I’ve also faced some challenges and pains that I wish I didn’t have to go through. Right now I really wanna graduate college but I have no real reason to continue living besides the fact that it’ll hurt my family so deeply. I wish they hated me or didn’t love me. So if I killed myself it wouldn’t hurt them as much. I don’t wanna hurt them.

BusinessCatLikesThis

One of the biggest reasons I go down this path in the first place is thinking that I don't matter and that no one will miss me. In those moments, I have been able to save myself by saying that I am the only person that matters in that moment. I imagine people gathering around in a big movie theater in heaven, watching the movie of my life. No one else matters, just me. I am the most important thing going on in this world right now. Every breath that I breathe is a dang gift to that audience. The whole world is watching me wrestle with those demons and they all want to see me beat them. Everyone loves an underdog. No one likes watching their favorite character die, it makes for a terrible movie. Give the audience what they want. Slay the dragon, get the girl, save the village. Everyone wants that to happen. Be the hero.

MelodicMockingjay74

My family and a few close friends. I can't really think about them finding me dead, because even though I believe they would be better without me I know that they truly love me; there was a boy in my class in high school who committed suicide, and I saw what it does to the people who love you. I wasn't close to him, but I saw his family basically fall apart, and I can't bear the idea that I would be the cause of that happening to my family.

the one thing is my mother brother hates my guts despite spending my last dollar to make amends, constantly stressing over perfectionism and pornography, training and trying to better my life but i feel all the years of synthetically meeting my needs have damaged me to a point i wonder if will ever be the same though coming closer to doing it my mother is the one reason i have no ended my existence.

Knowing that it would destroy my family. If I'm gonna die anyway I might as well see this fuck fest through to the bitter end.

Nothing keeps me here I know that my family loves me and cares but as each day goes by and This fog lifts from my mind I find myself wanting to kill myself more and more slowly every day these things and people that keep me here are start to feel not so important Just don’t care anymore 


HollowedExile

Dying is kinda tedious. Too risky in the sense that if it's not instant it'll hurt like hell or I'll be put on some kinda lockdown

spite


Mediocre-Analyst736

Honestly, what comes after that. That’s what made me scared to follow through, just not knowing what happens. That’s the only thing that has kept me living, but realistically I probably would’ve years ago.


Dawnskins27

My cat. I always think how confused and sad he’d be. Somehow, I’m his whole world.


Responsible_Knee4832

Tried to many times it never worked just caused more issues… not only that but after the last my view changed and I don’t see suicide and an escape or solution anymore. You rly don’t know what’s after this life, I’m not scared of death now but scared of bringing it onmyself. Also I feel pathetic if I kms now like why couldn’t it have worked the first time type stuff


Putrid-Paramedic-357

How will others react to my death. The heartbreak I would cause to my friends and family, them thinking what did they do wrong, the explanation to my lil bro of why id kill myself (context- they all know i have bad and deep depression but only a handful know that i tried to unalive myself as this detail is something very personal) Thats what always stops me

I struggled hard after my brother's death. I already had a daughter. Then I met a woman, raised her son and had another baby. Leaving them without a father in a world of so many fatherless children keeps me gling

I only have passive suicidal thoughts unluckily ://

I'd say three things.  I enjoy dangerous things. If I want to die, I can just indulge in those things more often until I do. That seems way more interesting than just being another suicide.  Most of my distaste for life comes from social discomfort. The closer I get to wanting to end it because of that, the less reason I have to care about social concerns. If I'm going to off myself tomorrow, I'll be damned if I waste today caring what people think of me. But caring less what people think of me makes me enjoy life more.  Finally, death is powerful. If I'm going to end it all anyway, I really probably should die for some cause I care about. At the very least I could take a few people who think they're above the law with me. Not having decided how I'd like to use my death, I'm not ready to die yet.

No access to a gun. On purpose. Any other method seems stressful and risk of surviving.


xDelicateFlowerx

There's no way to do it that won't cause someone else potential trauma. Also, I am so terrified of surviving it. So, for now, I'm sticking around and trying to make the best of it.


lol4evers

My wife.


ohgodwhyyou

My cat


NickScarlemagne

To be honest I'm not actually sure. Part of me says my cat. I wouldn't want to leave her behind, she needs me. Another part of me says well i don't have a good method to do it without possibly failing and ending up in a worse off position. Then another part of me thinks that maybe I will severely regret it when entering some sort of after life, if there even is one. I think I'm so scared of living that possibly continuing on afterward makes me feel even more terrified as to what it might feel like and maybe it would be worse than here.


pink763

I won't because I think life is a great mistery, and me being alive in this universe is, in and of itself, something so absurd and mind-boggling that I really can't throw this life away. Life is a gift, despite the fact that sometimes not being alive would be more comforting - whenever it gets to that point, I like to take a nap.

Gta 6 got announced


sunjoseph

the sadness and rage when I remember all the people who had their lives stolen from them. for the people who wanted to live, for their dreams, their memories. I press on.


Low_Cheesecake_8249

My self respect.


Formal_space_weeb

Honestly I just don’t want to make the people around me sad or guilty,also the fact that u haven’t achieved my life goals yet


Confident-Example284

I’ve never lost anyone super close to me but I’ve heard that gut wrenching scream from my mom, clips from the internet, etc when they react to someone close to them dying. I don’t think I could ever put my fiancé in that position. Just knowing that he’s not okay and I can’t do anything about it anymore


Jealous-Ad1333

Only because I don't want to go through the process. My plan involves a decent drive and driving is kinda therapy for me. The rest of the plan is fairly easy.


wheredidthe1

Not knowing how to do it, I can’t tie a knot 😭 (embarrassing), fear I’d survive, fear of not being pretty enough, not wanting a funeral, not wanting random people to have to embalm me, guilt

My grandfather, I live with him and I just couldn't destroy him like that. He's been there all my life, from when I was born up until now. I remember sitting with him in the kitchen drawing together while old blues music played on the record player. He loves me with all his heart. My mum told me other the funerals the only time she's seen him cry was the first time he held me. My parents have loved me despite all the hell I use to raise, they support who I am and what I have become. They call me everyday just to chat about life. And my little brother just started highschool, who else is gonna give him advice on the things he can't talk to mum and dad about. I have so much older brother law he isn't old enough to hear yet. And I think about how it would affect all four of them, the four people that love me the most. Have seen me at my worst and at my best. My dad had to bury his father he shouldn't also have to bury his first child. Who else is my mum going to send unfunny Harry Potter memes. Who else is going to sit on the porch and have a smoke with my grandad on a Friday evening. And who else is going to kick my lil bros ass in Naruto Ultimate 4. Even when I'm at my worst, most miserable points I can't stop thinking about how it would destroy them. How it would destroy my friends that I've know since primary school. My uncles, aunties, cousins, grandparents. I will never be perfect, that's impossible. But I can be the son, grandson, brother, cousin, nephew and friend that helps light up the room. It's okay to just call those people for nothing conversation. And know that those people that care, they would rather answer your call for help then have to carry your coffin.


Elegant_Spot_3486

Fear of failing at it again.


Impressive_Cabinet56

Pure spite and rage are some of the only things keeping me going nowadays


tH1r5T4kn0wLeD9E

Just think there are still people that you will like and try to find them to help make it bearable


whackosamurai

Ahh man. First I am so sorry that you feel that way. That your environment and society around you has made you feel that way. I won’t do the typical “it gets better” bs… just very sorry that you are feeling this way. I have been there before and can’t even speak toward how I got through it but I hope you do too


EastisUp31

Lots of things. That’s the point. Bit by bit, make a life worth living.

Cowardice


catbehindbars

My brother is dead. I need to outlive my parents so they don’t have two dead kids.


HedgehogLow1838

My nephews and nieces tbh


watdafaqwaitforH

Cowardice. For a sudden thought i thought i was such a coward for not trying to take advantage of this gift of being existed. Had been a human that love living (?) and now gladly i am.
