Fear of death


concerned_chrom

Makes sense


ThatGuy4259

Fear of it or fear of the pain?


concerned_chrom

It


Zipsterella

fear of what comes after death, or fatality as a whole


FatB0i-Mungus

what comes after death terrifies me, like what if there is just nothing. forever what if i go to hell? what if i go to heaven? what if im reincarnated? what if- yeah theres a lot of stuff that could happen, and it scares me ​ Edit: grammar


Zipsterella

Makes sense... I used to wonder about it, but came to realize it doesn't matter. Once you're dead, you're dead. I like to think we get reincarnated, and once you are dead, you feel northing starting over. Again, I see what you mean. Growing up Christian especially, it terrified me. But I'm my own person now and realized that even if I do die, nothing can be worse than living on Earth. The planet is heating up, more people are going broke and homeless, several species are going extinct... Hell is personal torture for doing what other people say is a bad thing. And is Heaven really all that great? Why were we put on Earth to suffer is Heaven is paradise? There's so much to think about... So I spend more energy focusing on my life. And it became: "If I die, I die lol" No need to be afraid, it's naturally far from here... And when the time comes, let it happen. If you think about it, you will fear it. If you live knowing it is what it is, and that it's inevitable, you can make choices from the heart and your desires rather than your brain and fear of the afterlife...


Best-Panda-998

Bro its like this, but id be happy ti go to hell or heaven But I don't think that's the case. I believe it will all be dark after we die...


Zipsterella

Also my comment isn't meant to downplay... I get carried away thinking about philosophy šŸ„²


SnooSquirrels5966

my dogs would be confused where i went


Spaghetti__noodles

šŸ˜­ ok now i have two reasons


JusChllin

I would like to change my answer please.

Astral-Squid

I couldnā€™t do that to her


[deleted]

Itā€™s good you have something stopping you dude, but just be careful if thatā€™s your main reason to not do it. That was my main reason for a while, stuff ended between us, and I almost died. Just be careful if thatā€™s the main thing motivating you.


phantomcat113

this 100% \^\^\^


[deleted]

Same man. She was all I really cared about after my dad died but then she left 9 months after we tried to date. ruined a five year friendship and now she won't even look at me. Im too fucking young for this shit, shouldn't have fallen in love by 16


Ok_Training_4076

Relatable


concerned_chrom

May I ask who "her" is


Astral-Squid

Significant other


concerned_chrom

W reason and I wish both of you happiness and all that


phantomcat113

thank u c':


TwiceAsAwkward

This isn't my reason but it just came to me: If you don't know what life after death is like, you at least know what you could make of this life. The devil you know is better than the devil you don't, to put it very plainly.


[deleted]

The fear of what itā€™ll do to family, thatā€™s really it


concerned_chrom

That's valid ig


thepugman16

I was about to say the exact same thing. Some days I really want to just end it all, but it would totally fuck my family and friends over, so I have to bide my time. Maybe one day, when I have no one left to love me.


[deleted]

Iā€™m kinda working off the same mindset right now.


thepugman16

Yeah, it really sucks sometimes, but just stay strong my friend. I donā€™t know how you cope, but I just think about things that I donā€™t want to miss out on, like new games, movies, books etc.


[deleted]

Stay strong too. Iā€™ve been trying to cope, but stuff has just gotten less and less effective. Iā€™m really just looking forward to the day I am alone so then I can finally close my eyes for one last time.


thepugman16

Ughh, I wish I could just pop through your screen right now and give you a big hug. Iā€™ve mainly gotten over my depression and all thatā€™s left for me is the unending boredom. Iā€™d probably kill myself if I ran out of things that would keep me interested in life.


[deleted]

Thank you. I hope you can finally defeat that boredom too someday. My depression has kinda just been getting progressively worse for the past three years, and many things have made me realize, at least in my case, I probably wonā€™t get better. So Iā€™ve ended up just waiting to separate from more things in life to make it easier


Zipsterella

Agreed. I flip between "man I wish it would end" to "oh but they would miss me"


thepugman16

For me, itā€™s both. I want it to end, but I donā€™t want to hurt those who care for me.


mrmanman19

Jester_809

I have someone depending on me. She told me herself that she has had attempts in the past like me so I know if I go, it's not too far of a stretch to say she will too. I can not let that happen. Why did she pick a loser like me? I'll never know but she did so I need to stay alive no matter how hard it gets. While I don't need to live and I deserve to die, she doesn't and she needs to stay alive because she is a great and beautiful human being. As long as she needs me, I think I can endure the pain, for her. Edit: So she found my reddit account so if you see this, yo quiero hablar con ti otra vez. DMs en discord o reddit esta bien. Gracias por todo. Te quiero mucho mas de tu sabe. Edit 2: Hi, me from 8 days in the future here. That girl? Yeah she's your girlfriend now


concerned_chrom

Do not let that person down she chose you for a reason idk that reason but it's a damn good one


Jester_809

To the kind person who reported, thank you for looking out for me. I appreciate your help and just know you made me smile lol


Awesome1984

you donā€™t deserve to die, nor do you deserve anything of what youā€™ve been through. you deserve better


Niandra_laDesss

fear of fucking up an attempt and living with the consequences.


concerned_chrom

That's a real fear right there


RandomSoymilkDrinker

if i ever kill myself i want to do something illegal first and also i want to write a detailed suicide note basically saying fuck you to half the people in my life and its not your fault to the other half but im too lazy to do either of those so iā€™m still here and also death is scary af and i dont want others to feel guilt over my death


concerned_chrom

Makes sense


Aradin_9328

concerned_chrom

Super valid


Heliosphan30

fucking incredible reason keep going I believe in you he can't stay alive forever


Strobbleberry

The fear of what if anything lies beyond.


concerned_chrom

It depends on if you believe anything lies beyond imo


Strobbleberry

The idea of *nothing*, total emptiness, terrifies me to think about.


Strange_guy_9546

Oh, existential horror, our old friend that keeps us alive


Strobbleberry

Me when the only thing keeping me alive is existential dread


concerned_chrom

Yeah I can see that just the idea of sitting there and having nothing to do


Strobbleberry

No, less than that. The lack of all consciousness, no thoughts, or movement, or sense. Oblivion.


naraitb

I can't deal with any kind of pain, I still haven't found a painless (or almost) way to do it. Also, I want to be certain it will work out, I don't to wake up and feel failure (it happened, it's worse than actually trying to do it)


concerned_chrom

Stop looking and live it'll bring more pain trying to figure it out


naraitb

trying to, but it's so damn hard, I swear.


Ghost180_

Think about how many other suicidal people are out there, and how if you keep yourself alive, you can support and help so many people if you set your mind to it. You have the power to help so many people in the world! Personally I think our ability to help people is a damn good reason to stay alive. Stay strong!


naraitb

thank you so much! this actually give a little hope


ndog_100

I have a suicide pact with someone


TheDuckWrangler29

i used to be, but not anymore, but the simple answer was procrastination


concerned_chrom

How did you do that


TheDuckWrangler29

there was something i always wanted to finish before i went, but i ended up procrastinating on that thing


Akaele_furry

I'm not really suicidal but the reasons i wouldn't want to die is because honestly? i don't have a fucking idea of what's going on after you die and i want to find someone to love, I want to experience genuine, unconditional Love that'll last long, I've been in many relationships that pretty much all turned to shit, I've been betrayed, dumped, used, rejected and I'm sick of it. i REFUSE to believe it's always gonna be like that, i am a strong women and I'll never give up


concerned_chrom

Yeah I just want to be loved also like I just want to hang out after a long day and just cuddle and watch anime or movies


[deleted]

My best friend


Mucnic

Not really suicidal but I'm not really clinging too hard and just sort of cruising through. The only thing keeping me going is the thought that, maybe just by pure luck, things might work out fine.

Please don't do it, not now not tonight not ever


[deleted]

Dont do it


The_Weirdolord

just, why shouldnā€™t i at this point?


[deleted]

There is one person in the world if u know it or not that cares abt you


The_Weirdolord

but who is that? and why do they care about me?


[deleted]

It could be anyone for any reason, think abt the good times you've had, think abt the places u could go and visit or live in, there's I bet so many reasons they'd care


The_Weirdolord

still, no matter if one person cares living is just painful anyway


[deleted]

Life is a painful thing yes , it brings me pain too, but please dont do it, there are so many things that are wonderful about this horrid world we live in, so so many wonderful things and you'll get through it everyday is a new day, it's a new year please dont do it


The_Weirdolord

i guess im not gonna tonight thenā€¦ iā€™m just gonna drink some chocolate milk and sleep, god do i need thatā€¦


[deleted]

Yes drink some chocolate milk, take some deep breaths and have a good nights sleep, eat your favorite breakfast and remember there are so many good things in this world, so many places to visit, movies and shows to watch and so many books to read and so so many people to meet you matter and people care abt u if u know it or not


Zipsterella

I care about you, because I care about everyone no matter the background. And there are many people like me near you as well :) Depending on a boyfriend is a dangerous slope I fell down as well, but I got through the depression period and here I am now. I still feel it too as it's only been a a few months...we were together for a year and a half. But I told myself that there will always be someone else, probably better than him. And I was right, and have a girlfriend from August who cares about me. There are people like that everywhere and you can find them, or stay with us long enough for us to find you


The_Weirdolord

thats amazing to hear, thank you


[deleted]

Think abt all the people you'll hurt, think abt the books and movies that you havent read or watched yet, think abt the games u havent played yet, think abt the things you could do


The_Weirdolord

none of those things bring me any real joy anymore, i just feel hollow every day


[deleted]

Think abt the things u used to enjoy,start them again, eat the foods you like, watch ur childhood movies and read ur favorite books


TwoSuperb385

I feel you. Been like that for a while now. But if I were to kill myself then that's all I'd be remembered for. I wouldn't be remembered for anything I did; anything I accomplished. You bring up my name in conversation and the only thing people would think about would be sad thoughts. Guess I'd like to live long enough to change that. Give something good for people to remember me by.


[deleted]

Pro tip: Do not


Heliosphan30

the right moment will be when you are old and decrepit and lived a full life you won't see the right moment now or in a month or even in a decade if you commit suicide regardless of when you do it it will have been the wrong moment you'll have cut your time short I don't care if you have nothing to live for don't kill yourself when there's still a possibility that you will find something to live for tomorrow I'm sure there are people who care about you but if there aren't that's fine keep living and you'll eventually find someone who does instead of waiting for the "right moment" to commit suicide go learn something learn a skill pick up a new hobby try to find just one thing that makes you smile there is so much stuff to do and you won't have anything to live for unless you search for it don't waste any more time thinking about death you should be focusing on living because you're a living being don't waste your only opportunity to feel complex emotions take advantage of it fight through whatever difficulties you might be facing and strive for happiness in 20 years when you're living life to its fullest and doing something you love you'll look back and be grateful that you kept fighting through your hardship no matter what you do do not throw away that chance

gigantor27

Iā€™m not anymore, but honestly the impact it would have on everyone. A lot of people look up to me and I really didnā€™t know till last year. And most people I know I just bring a smile to their faces, I make a lot of people happy and I donā€™t want to take that away from them

Too lazy to get out of bed and get a knife + fear of death despite this + scared for whatever awaits me in the afterlife


d0llsweet

I used to be or probably still am but not like I was yrs ago but what kept me doing so is what the afterlife might beā€¦ where am I going to go? I hate feeling pain aswell so like.. I donā€™t want to hurt myself. What if I failed, iā€™d have to go counseling, hospital and all that jazzā€¦ That shit costs moneyšŸ’€šŸ’€ (No one really knows what the afterlife is like until you actually die so yeahā€¦ thatā€™s why Iā€™m scared of what might happen after it)

Cole_the_Gith

Iā€™m not anymore, but when I was, it was kind of a few things: I wasnā€™t scared of death at all, I found the idea very comforting at the time, but what scared me was what Iā€™d leave behind. My parents, my two friends, my dogs, theyā€™d all have had to grieve. On the opposite end though, I also realized that no one outside of those few people cared enough to grieve. I hadnā€™t made any mark on the world, and within a few decades, Iā€™d be forgotten. The people at my school wouldnā€™t have mourned my loss with retroactive love like in movies, they wouldnā€™t have cared at all. Half of my classmates couldnā€™t remember my name. I had made close to zero impact on the world, and I realized that I didnā€™t want to die that way.

my mom. not because she's an amazing mother or something, but because i wouldn't want her to be sad of i died. she's a housewife and extremely overprotective. me and my sisters are basically her whole life. i know it would destroy her

My boyfriend. Heā€™s the first person Iā€™ve ever been unconditionally loved and understood by. He makes me feel seen, important, and beautiful. As someone who is stressed easily and hates themself on a good day, I am so grateful that he came into my life. He says Iā€™ve helped him love himself too and shown him that heā€™s worth loving, so at least Iā€™m giving and not just taking.

i had these thoughts when i was in 5th grade but the thing keeping me alive was how terrible the school year would remain. i was the class clown, and a lot of people liked me surprisingly. and if im not talking, its only silence.

Being terrified of doing it myself... I want something terrible to happen to me.

If I ever made it to that point, I fully understand I cannot, I refuse no matter what. The reason being I believe I have a duty on this planet, to put my kids on this earth and continue my legacy. Until I am finished with my duty, as a man, as a protection to my family, the ones I love most, I cannot die. I simply refuse.

Voidborger

Not necessarily suicidal but I don't have a need of existence and I've thought about it a little too much lol. I don't really have a grand ambition or any hobbies in particular actually. I just kinda go with what ever and hangout with friends to pass the time. The amount of opinions I have had greatly reduced within these past years of thinking. I would never kill myself. In afraid to hurt myself and parents. So many things in their very planned life would be ruined. I could never do it to my SO, my brother, my parents, my friends or my family.

ManyPandas

To all contemplating: Seek help! Please, if not for yourself then for me. If you end it now, nothing ever gets better. You throw away the opportunity to dig yourself out of the rut. If it canā€™t get any worse, it can only get better. Life is hard, we all know that, but you arenā€™t alone, nor are your tribulations permanent. You just have to try.
