Do you think suicide is easier than fixing your problems?

[Whole-Ad]

well yeah. Thing is I don't think some problems can be fixed, which is exactly why I want to die. The more I live, the more I regret it.

 

[Life'sA6itch]

i don´t know about easier, but it´s certainly faster and it has more certainty on the outcome than trying to fix my life at this point

I feel the same about my life

 

[vercabow]

i genuinely think that it's either i kill myself or i become a garbage human being, no inbetween. i don't want to live long enough to see myself become a even shittier person. i don't do this for anyone, i do it for myself.

 

[NotSalmon]

Is it the easy way out? Certainly not. But is it easier?

After trying to recover in so many ways and still clinging to a miracle to save me I ask myself whether it would be just easier to kill myself than to play this lottery.

I speculate which decisions could make a recovery easier but I end up with a conclusion that it is close to impossible for me. Suicide instead does not seem to be totally impossible for me. So it seems like suicide is at least easier. Despite the insane SI.

But I am not sure whether suicidal people actually think about this decision in these terms. Maybe some. More often I think about my pain limit and when this threshold is reached then it is game over.

Not really, it's like a double-edged blade. I really do not wish to die, it is scary to think about, especially at my age, it would be painful and require a complete feeling to carry on, and I never seem to experience clear, coherent feelings so I would never know if it was truly best for me. I could be a considerably good person if I wanted to, if I took the bit of effort to follow my dreams, but there are many irreversible things that I may not be able to change, cover up, or erase the memory of. Those are what gnaw at me.

Neither choice (living or dying) is "easy"... Both have pro and cons...

Living is randomness... uncertainty... pain... joy... potentially unlimited emotions and experiences are available...
Dying is final... It is the LAST thing one can control and is void of all things...

 

[Peace2peace]

My problems couldn't be fixed thats why I choose suicide

 

[kenma0]

yes. i would rather ctb than feel anything else ever again. i crave going to sleep because at least i can feel nothing. i dont feel sad or tired or heartbroken. i forget everyone i ever met or knew. its all just empty. i hope death is like sleep, just without the dreams.

 

[depressedinsomniac]

yeah personally sleep is my issue...like i got close in the past but always sort of put myself back together...i began abusing dabs and suffered a psychotic break...following that i am in a deep depression suffering from insomnia...i have tried many things to fix it...part of me wonders if it's just not smoking pot and if really all along i was depressed and pot was just masking it...sadly i no longer experience joy from things...which i would actually accept...it's the sleep issue...tough one been at it several months...i am so thankful there is a site like this where i can trade ideas and thoughts with others who feel similar...mental health is such an issue once you have poor mental health it is so hard to get back to a good place sadly.

 

[maniac116]

CTB for me is last resort after every option for change has been tried a few times. I believe there are victims left behind like family & friends that are left confused & without answers as to why the act was committed in the first place.
But that's just me.
I also believe that a person "owns" their body & their life. They have the right to do to themselves what they want, as long as they accept responsibility for themselves & don't harm others in the process. Just my 2 cents worth

 

[Forveleth]

I have a lot of personal-relation issues that could be solved by cutting out of my life those closest to me as they are the ones doing the damage. That would take a lot of work and I guess suicide would technically be easier. However, considering I have made attempts and am still here, I am not sure that is the case.

Also "easier" is not my motivation, I am rather tired and just wish to not exist anymore.

 

[S like suicide]

Unfortunately suicide is not so easy as I thought or i wouldn't be here now after 4 years of attempting.
And well now i finally understood,aften 10 years of trying that my problems have a solution and it's my death.

 

[freakshow]

im way too ugly and i've already tried everything in my reach to fix it but im unsalvagable, i hope i get better luck next life

 

[SadRatQueen]

I like to see ctb as an option more than anything else. That when I'm finally ready to give in the towel, I truly can. It's not an issue solver more than it is an "I quit" sort of deal, at least in my own eyes. Some say those who ctb are cowards, that they gave up too quickly.. But I don't see it that way. For many, it's a chance at freedom that everyone has ever yearned for. People quit not because they're just tired, but because they are finally doing something truly selfish just for themselves, putting themselves first when most of the time it was others.

I don't think ctb will solve any of my issues, but I know that I'll no longer have any once I do. I find peace in that alone.

 

[Lost in a Dream]

Assuming there is a solution to all my problems other than suicide, both seem equally difficult, if not impossible.

 

[bananaolympus]

My health issues has no cure or proper treatment, with time it will get worse is only natural because of aging

 

[crocune]

I've wasted too much of my life and fixing those problems now will be too late and probably incredibly hard.

 

[hereornot]

In my case, the solution would be to go back 11 years and think only about myself. I thought about saving the life of a family member and I lost everything I had.

There is no time or space to recover what I lost... in a way, my life is already over.

 

[CogitoMori]

Yes. I already tried everything to solve the problems and nobody else will help. Now I know for certain that no matter what I do, nothing will ever be better, and I'll never be happy. Suicide isn't easy, and I want my house clean and belongings neatly packed before I go, but at least death is a known path. Life's plans are full of fog and traps and lying bastards; You can clearly see where you're going when you're planning your own death.

im ngl for me suicide is easier than even just fully understanding my problems and they cant be fixed if i dont properly understand them (and even if i did i still dont think they could be fixed and also like i dont think i deserve to be fixed alot of the time tbh)

Same here. The only person that made me feel like a human being won't talk to me, and refuses to tell me what I did to make them hate me. My logic is that if I can make the kindest person in the world hate me, then there's never going to be anyone that actually cares for me. If I knew what I did maybe I could fix myself, but he won't tell me so I'll always keep being broken.

I think some situations are unfixable and you can't change them, only accept it. My problem is accepting the things I can not change. The problem is waking up and realizing this is my reality, and it's a very hard one, a lonely one. Suicide is easier for me because I'm exhausted with this life, tired of being in physical and mental pain. If there was a chance I could get euthanasia, I would spend my last dime for eternal peace.

I think the reason it's hard to accept the things we can't personally change, is because other people actually have the power to change those things, but they refuse to in order to purposely cause us common people more suffering.

 

[diy-event]

It's not that it's easier it's just clear cut. I can't find a soliton to mine that

 

[Roadrunner]

No, I've been trying to fix my problems for the last half of my life (I'm 60). It's time to make the most difficult and brave choice of my life.
