The main thing from holding me back from committing ctb is an overwhelming fear of what might occur after death. I was raised as a Christian but eventually stopped believing in the existence of God and became an atheist. Despite that, the uncertainty of what lies beyond death continues to haunt me. I have read stories from people who experienced temporary death and were later revived. The accounts that terrified me the most involved the concepts of "hell" or a "black void." The thought of an eternal, dark void is especially terrifying to me. I would much prefer the idea of ceasing to exist entirely over any continuation of awareness or consciousness. Whenever I contemplate taking my own life, I'm not afraid of the act itself or the method. It's the possibility of entering a void or facing an unknown existence that is enough to make me back out everytime. I want to overcome this fear and stop being held back by thoughts of what comes after death.
