Hi, I'm new. I do like to know people's thought, and I hope no one will take offense if it seems I ask a lot of questions... I don't mean to offend anyone.
This question seems to be a reacquiring one, "why is it so hard?"
I imagine all of you have those moments of total and complete emptiness, not the kind we feel on a daily basis, I mean the kind that paralyzes you. I think that has got to be the easiest moment to do it...when you honestly care about nothing.
It takes a very long time to get there I think. (No offense) but I don't see many people over the age of 40 who don't have tremendous fear. I know I was suicidal as early as 16 (I'm 54) but the more years that go by...the less and less I care about. The easier the idea gets.
I believe that with meticulous planning, and over education, it doesn't have to be painful or fearful.
I don't think your laziness or your lack of willing to kill yourself makes you an idiot or a moron...makes you pretty human . Don't be hard on yourself about your reluctance to commit to your end of life decisions, it's a big decision.
My theory, for myself and procrastination...I'll know when it's time, so I do everything to prepare, education, reading. I listen to music and write things that don't make me cry or have me curled up in a ball. Some days...all I can do is live one minute at a time but to afraid to change it. Then I have a glimmer of hope and I make it to the next episode.
As long as we have a single ounce of hope, in anything at all, we will be afraid and reluctant to follow through. Try not to beat yourself up over a natural emotion of hope.
