I was once prepping for Medical entrances, so knew all types of suicidal means and why they will NOT work. Science is disheartening at times!

Also, I think people who can unalive themselves are too courageous. I could never muster courage to that extent

I want to know what you meant by all types of suicidal means that will not work.

Haha I'm not writing them. But generic means, those cannot guarantee 100% result. A certain possibility of being physically handicapped makes it even worse than current situation

This is shitty thought. Life is beyond such selfish companies. I am a single earning person in home + impacted along with EMI for home. Their is someone watching your efforts and u will soon get what u deserve. If you feel down u can ping me. We both are in same ocean now.

Bro I am not talking about suicide due to company. Depression is common nowadays and so are the suicidal thoughts. Therefore i want to know how you stay positive about life in hard times

As a wise men said-"suicide doesn't end pain it just passes on to others".

Which won’t matter if the other people have only caused pain to you I feel. This scenario won’t apply to all!

Not funny:

  1. Lazy+Not so courageous to execute the task
  2. When I heard other people having such thoughts irrespective of the magnitude compared to mine, it automatically made me realise that we raise by lifting others, and I started to observe people, although it's not easy to identify, and pat their shoulder.

From this, I somewhat transitioned from emotional to logical

Not suicidal but definitely severe bouts of depression following a failed relationship and bad choices such as substance abuse etc. What helped me was going back to doing the simple things that gave me happiness as a child/ teenager.

Took a month off from work and lived with my parents. Slept on the couch for more than a week which included multiple reruns of swat kats, Tom & Jerry etc. Simple pleasures of having tea with my mom while it was raining outside and having good home cooked meals sorted my head out.

Followed this up with going to the gym and going for long walks / runs in the morning. There’s much more to life than the complex concoctions we warp in our head and it’s usually the simple pleasures.

5 years hence, I’m in a very happy marriage and looking fitter and happier that I’ve ever been. Its cliched but true that it’s always darkest before dawn. Please take care of your self first and hit pause on everything else.

I’m happy to talk if you need to. Cheers!

Background: my parents were divorced for 7years and growing up was painful with and without them, getting marriage is scary. I have anxiety issues & I overthink a lot.

I’m always stressed out, I’m very pessimistic about life and yet I try to live life and be happy. Looking to start therapy to reduce pain but I don’t have high hopes so I’ll actually end up being happy if it makes me 1% happier.

I heard this in one of the k-dramas. “If you feel like dying, just put it off for a day.” It felt very powerful at that point because we tend to think a lot about the future and the futility of our lives in that moment. However, taking it one day at a time is a much more grounding thought when you are extremely overwhelmed. It feels like I have to get by today somehow.

There might be a lot of reasons why one might feel that taking this step is better. But I think it might be prudent to consider “what if things get better”. Shouldn’t I experience that too? Also, depression is real and just like any other physical ailment, this too needs to be treated by a specialist.

Take care and take it one day at a time.

My view is, if it were very easy to just end it, many would have done it long back including me. It’s not easy to kill yourself, so for that reason I probably will never commit to it.

The only thoughts I get is what if I don’t wake up from my sleep today ? Id probably be very grateful if that happened, wouldn’t have to go through all this crap!
