People telling me I shouldn’t want to die makes me want to die more 😆

Much like poker, sometimes you gotta know when to fold em. I don't ever try to coerce people to stay alive against their will, because lord knows I'm only hanging on for the sake of my dogs. The only thing I want people in this position to feel is peace, even if it means peace with their decision to end it all.

Too often, pain or anger makes people desperate and they end up going down this path from their own internalized sense of helplessness. They truly believe that nothing can be done and they will never find what they're seeking, but more often than not these absolutes are just a coping mechanism of the brain. It uses rationalization to handle the overwhelming pain they feel. They create hopelessness to find a reason for ending this pain.

I don't like seeing people make decisions like this when they're upset because, in my experience, it's mostly a means of coping with their troubles. That's why, instead of telling people what they should or shouldn't do, I ask them if they've done all they possibly could to address this pain. I ask if there is anything out there that would make them happy and give their life meaning. I ask how possible it is for them to find something to strive for. Or to find people who will make their time on earth worthwhile.

If they really believe that there's no hope or solace to be found, then I understand fully why they no longer wish to suffer any more than they have. I let them know it's okay to do what they think is best for them and that I hope they find the comfort they're looking for. Not everybody gets a happy ending. Sometimes people have to settle for the next best thing.

I understand, we think and feel for ourselves. No one can change that. People can only wish you the best. I’m sorry for your loss. Losing loved ones is the worst pain you can feel.

Probably they just want you to feel ok, but yeah when a person is depressed can't see it like that and feel as if others are attacking them not respecting them etc.

That decision you've taken is for a distant future after all. Like I told you yesterday you could die before making your plans real so in the mean time just live in the present, just can do that.

... The future isn't set in stone.
And lots of complications can arise from a failed suicide attempt.

I know you want to die.

It’s your journey. Your pain. Your joy. Your feelings, and your life. We can only say what worked for us as individuals, but I do hate when people negate your feelings and experience, and expect you to feel and do as they feel and do. When they think they know your life better than you do.

However, most people are just trying to be helpful, in the only way they know. I understand this, but it’s still not only annoying, but can actually cause more harm.

i’ve experienced losing 5 family members..
i was where you are at one point..
it’s no one’s business your choices or thoughts. i already have contingency plans for checking out.

I feel same.

In your previous post i stated "same". I'll say it again, same. No one will understand, at least the majority wont.

Very well said

You should want to die, when your quality of life is no more... but I til then, you should ride me and enjoy life 🤪

I am sorry you are in this pain. I don’t think you are wrong for your feelings but that still won’t stop me from hoping that things will change for you.
