I am wondering why do we cling to life when we are obviously not happy. There are a couple of people I do not want to hurt. I suppose there is a bit of hope of things getting better as well. But in reality, what is the point, then the end result is the same, and unless you have a life worth living, why bother with all the work and obligations needed for staying around. Not to mention that clinging to life can prevent you from getting even with people who made your life a living hell.

I think for a lot of people the ways of getting there are filled wqith pitfalls- it's not easy to get to the other sidef for most people- not everybody lives near a giant cliff or something as easy as that.,

On waking this morning I bawled my eyes out on realising all my attempts at survival and flourishing have been pointless, wasting away the energy of the universe and the few people left around me. The core of my being will never want to live, however much life or positivity I try to build up around the cursed centre. I feel like I'm wasting years in an illusion of colour, dissociated, when that core cant stop wishing for the void. You're not alone in your suffering and I hope you find the peace you need.

We cling to life as all humans are programmed to survive and live, it is the way we have evolved. Existence is all we know after all. To me there is no point, life is just pointless suffering. It is like I have already died in a way. I am only still here because ctb is difficult, if it was easier I would already be gone. I wish you the best. I hope you find peace.
