Once you are born, you are automatically in a race for survival and in need of resources,
food, water and shelter to survive. Which inevitably means you will need to find a job.

To me, this already makes any existence undesirable.
coerced as a child given everything only for you to grow and be prepared to be told you are a means to yourself this life now you suffer a reward meaningless (parents: that I already knew by my years living and you not before I gave birth to!) and now make urself meaningful but Ill always be meaningless life told me so themselves, (Life: someone else will take your spot!) the veil was lifted (I grew full conscious) and now fend for yourself because this is growth. jump out of the nest but what if my wings weren't sufficient, or the gust of wind carried me down, so I lay there with my legs broken, and you parents cant get me because the ground is where they reside (I should have flown like you imagined me to) (fantasized my child to but you must birth me as is the purpose of nature) I'm already broken, so what would the point of saving me be, unconditional love? (or is it nature masked?) Why did you give birth to, why did you give birth to a means so that you could end.

I feel this, the world is a bad place to be right now. It's rough and I genuinely think it's going to get way worse before it gets better because even now, the economy is considered healthy and strong.


I've heard of that, I think the term is baby trapping or something, though I've NEVER understood it. Why bring a child just to keep a partner? It isn't a guarantee either, you could have a kid and wind up a single parent. Sure, maybe you'll get child support but that's not guaranteed either and you're still parenting. I know someone who I have suspicions about baby trapping someone, but no real proof beyond my suspicions.


I can relate to this to a degree, but likely not as severe as your issues. I'd describe what I feel as just a general feeling of anhedonia, or an inability to feel joy. I find myself irritable. If I may offer a tip, what always works for me is to get outside and do something. Obviously this might not be viable but even a simple walk outdoors helps clear my mind, anything but staying inside all day for me (hypocritical of me to say that though, as that's what I've done most of this week). Anyways, hopefully it gets better for you!


I am a firm believer that someone who can't afford children shouldn't have them. It feels irresponsible to bring a child into the world with no ability to care for them.


Were you premature as well? If you don't want to answer, you don't have to. I just know I spent a good time in NICU due to prematurity.


We are in the minority here, it seems. I am also a no, but I also believe people should have the choice to go in a dignified and peaceful way. Not in some cramped apartment or dingy motel room, when that seems to be where people die in a good chunk of cases. It would also eliminate the necessity of a brutal suicide which could traumatize the family, especially if the family finds them after a method involving firearms or similar methods.

I also understand the other side to some degree (don't agree with, but understand). It can be a slippery slope. You allow people to choose and eventually the limits expand. Or possibly being able to pressure vulnerable individuals to choose to die when they otherwise wouldn't. I will never understand religious arguments against it because then you're breaking the separation of church and state (in the United States, at least).
Going outside used to make me feel better, but now it just hits different. Thank you though ❤️

All the time I wish I was never born!!!!! I can't take this life!!!!!!!! It is truly unbearable!!!!!! I am 24 and have been suffering my entire life!!!! Been suicidal since I was 11!!!!! I wish I would have taken my life 13 years ago and then I would have been spared so much unimaginable unbearable agony, anguish, disparity, and suffering!!!!! Even better yet, would be had I never even been born!!!!!!! I believe if God is real, that he created me to just be destined to suffer!!!!! If God is real, he will never help me or answer my prayers!!!!!!!

I don't wish I was never born, but I do wish that I had been taken out of life swiftly and peacefully before the onset of my medical illness. After that is when things truly became senselessly and progressively painful as well as realistically hopeless.
