Discussion Do you prefer improving your life or being dead?

[voyager (D)]

I tried to improve my life for 55 years. But I don't like the result. It's enough now.

I would like to improve my life, I just don't know how. The options I see are either very temporary solutions that I am not willing to use due to their questionable morality, or things that will require an extensive amount of effort in order to achieve borderline negligible improvement, that really doesn't feel worth it.

I'd prefer to be dead because I don't think my life can be improved…I think it's only going to get worse. I'd rather be gone before it actually does. Death would solve all my problems

I'd prefer to cease existing regardless of the circumstances, I don't have any interest in existing and anyway to me it's only rational wishing to die, there is no value in meaningless and unnecessary suffering, the thought of decaying from age in this cruel and harmful existence fills me with dread. Only death comforts me and could bring relief.

I ask myself this question often. I think the real question for me is, "Is life still worth living even if I never improve it?".

Life has gotten much more tolerable and even genuinely enjoyable most days, but the dark days persist. Lately, I have just felt apathetic - not really sad or overflowing with joy, just meh.

I would prefer to live if I could improve my situation realistically but the circumstances aren't good either way.
