Venting Do you see death as being the only relief?

[FuneralCry]

That's certainly the way that I feel, it's really true that the only relief from suffering could ever lie in leaving this world as I simply believe that we just cease existing after this with everything finally forgotten about as death erases everything for us. I see so much beauty in the thought of being unaware of everything for all eternity and being completely unable to suffer as in existence there's unlimited potential for harm while in comparison non-existence is the absence of all harm, in death there are no problems, worries and concerns as one is finally free from the burden that is existence, death is the end to this nightmare.

To me existing is so replusive, dreadful and unnecessary, there's too much suffering in existing and potential for that suffering to get worse. We are all just waiting to die anyway, enduring a futile process of slowly dying over decades where we are destined for nothing but to decay. Existing is so incredibly pointless to me and I dread to think of what lies ahead, there's nothing that could ever make suffering worth it and I know that existence is just a mistake, a cruel, horrific mistake which has just caused so much senseless cruelty, there could never be any peace in this world as I believe that true peace could only ever exist in the absence of everything.

To feel trapped here certainly is such a terrible thing as even know death is the only relief it's certainly so unnecessarily difficult to get there which is always the fault of humans not allowing us to die peacefully and cruelly wanting to make existence into a prison. Existing here certainly feels like an hopeless punishment so of course the only relief lies in death, one cannot escape from suffering as long as they exist in this harmful world and I've only ever wished to escape and return to the ideal nothingness.

I feel you, and am also extremely angry at this conservative world for not treating mental disorders as an equal to physical and for taking away my right to decide what to do with my body. I can only do what feels best for me but this country wont let me. Aaaaa

 

[Darkover]

when we eventually die in all honesty i hope your right that we are just gone forever , i would never sign up to anything as shit as this universe, the extremely slow speed of everything the speed of light is extremely slow, i just wish i never existed in the first place but hey we are here now which is very unfortunate the only relief from this hellish world and life is death, this isn't the place to be trying to make a home and a family since nothing here last for very long and it's too much of a chore being alive here, i never understood humans bring children alive here they claim to love them but there just being bought alive to be killed off if you love someone you don;t bring them alive facing certain death thats the action of someone whos opposite of loving someone

 

[Praestat_Mori]

Yes death is the one and only relief from all sufferings a human has to endure during a life time. My experience today and how everything works against me made this clear to me again. The only relief is death. Unfortunately it's so incredibly difficult to just leave this world.

 

[outrider567]

In my case, yes--the only relief on Earth

 

[stermc]

It seems like it's the only way, especially after trying recovery for so many years and being so tired and disappointed. But that's for me. I guess it's different for everyone.

I don't know. Death may be like waking up from a dream. There is no way of telling if it has been a good dream or bad dream until one wakes up. Maybe one will want to have stayed longer in this dream. But most dreams are not lucid anyway. Choice, decision are only illusions.

 

[Forever Sleep]

Hmmm, if I'm utterly honest- no. A shit load of money would take enough pressure off of me to keep going for longer. Not too sure how long but yeah- pressure to obtain money via a shit job is a massive reason I want to CTB. I don't want to be a part of this capitalist rat race.

Death would ABSOLUTELY be the only release if I became chronically ill though- even regularly ill. Nothing would make that bearable.

 

[Readytogo246]

I see death as the ultimate release from pain, fear and depression. I'm looking into ways to do it and think it may be sooner than I thought. The empty void sounds appealing.

 

[ARW3N]

The interesting thing about your post is that this is precisely the Buddhist understanding of life. Life is suffering. I agree with that part but not with the Buddha's religious beliefs such as reincarnation or transmigration and nirvana.

 

[clicmsf]

Life is definitely suffering for almost everyone, but there are happy people that would love to live. My previous best friend had everything in life, good looks, good mental health, healthy parents and family, and was (still is) rich. I'd say the world of suffering is seen from our eyes and we aren't capable of imagining a life without suffering. I wish I could be happy just like my previous best friend. I really do wish

 

[NoLoveNoHope]

I think so, I don't have any drive to make something of myself nor the complacency to stay alive against my own will.

 

[SilentSadness]

Yes, in death all problems and obligations are removed, all ties are cut from the world and one is finally free.

 

[Homulily]

Yeah.

 

[Deleted member 65988]

With death, so much of the burden of life's inevitable problems are just removed from the equation entirely because you won't be alive to experience them. People often say don't end your life over temporary issues, I say forget it because it'll eliminate the possibility of suffering even more in the future than right now. It is the one freedom we try to hold off for as long as possible and for what?

To experience a few decades of experiences that were supposed to look back on fondly as our bodies decay from physical and mental wear and tear along with the depressing state of society with people never willing to change

 

[Dead Meat]

It's the only way out when you're chronically ill and no hope to get better

 

[TAW122]

From a logical and philosophical perspective, especially taking the stance of life (sentience) being a harm in and of itself, then yes, death would be the "ultimate" relief to perpetual suffering and uncertainty of the future for potential suffering. As for me personally, yes, given my ongoing problems with life, how I experience life and what there is to come, death would be the ultimate solution for my continuous, never-ending problems and I certainly do not wish to allow natural causes or other horrific events that lead to death, but rather have death on my own terms.

 

[EndJstifiesTheMeans]

yes

 

[SirCalvinXIV]

The only permanent relief? Yes. Most people just distract themselves with shit and temporary pleasures until they die.

 

[gardenofaphrodite]

Generally, yes, I think death is the only true relief one can get. A guaranteed end (at least to me). Though I think if I had financial stability - to be able to get proper therapy & be able to take my meds again, I might have some temporary relief, which would be nice.

 

[ayaneechan]

Yes, i totally can't handle emotions, not even if i just should feel good

 

[ultrasharpy123456]

yeah pretty much

 

[brood]

Definitely the ultimate end to all my pains and struggles.
