On a scale from 1-10 how much does suicide scare you?

[Lost Magic]

probably somewhere in the middle. I am desperate to die but of course there is a fear of the unknown. But think about it, we didn't know anything about this world before we were born.

 

[Lifeless mindset]

Seems like the majority of you find failure the most scary which is understandable. I wish you all the best of luck in whatever decision you guys may choose.

 

[aBLEACHyindividual]

Solid 9.

 

[clown_17]

If 10 is compete fear and 0 is an finding enjoyment in ctb I'd put myself at a 4. My suicidal ideation is high but I can't let myself go without knowing I've done everything I could. It alternates some days from a 1 to a 6. And I'm also terrified of being caught or failing. It's happened before and it's the worst.

 

[Wisdom3_1-9]

I'm very scared… probably a 7 or 8. Mostly, I'm worried about the pain and the prospect of failing. I'm not as scared of dying. I only care how my death will affect others and (admittedly, very stupidly) how others will talk about me after my death.

 

[Feeding Pigeons]

The actual concepts of taking my own life, and death in general? Not that much, maybe 2 or 3. Its all the other things that encompass suicide, like the pain you leave behind, the chance of failure and the reprecussions of that, those're the things that terrify me, thats easily 8-9.

 

[lofticries]

honestly this depends on the day. it can go from 0 to100 real quick.

 

[deflationary]

Maybe just because it's not imminent rn but very little tbh. Maybe 2-3. I'm sure that I've gone through worse things in life than ingesting sn. If I do end up using that method.

 

[FailureGirl]

4 I'm scared that at the last second il regret it or worse that Il survive, if I attempt and survive things will become so much worse then they are now.

 

[Shadowplay]

9.5

 

[arie]

Probably like a 7. I'm scared of it not working, and just suicide overall. The fear won't stop me, but I can't help but feel scared. Or at least anxious

 

[ChaseBees]

3.
If I was sure I wouldn't survive it, maybe a 2

 

[Jumping_realms]

For me, it's certainly matters the method. Failure potentials are issues too. For instance:

Jumping - 8

N - 3

SN - 4

 

[existtosuffer]

Starts at 0. Thinking about how it could fail & ending up back in a psych ward takes it to a 10.

 

[sapling]

4. i live with parents so the main thing im afraid of is them finding me too early. if it wasn't for that then maybe a 3.5

 

[mandyjohnuk]

Your scale should start from zero.
Zero being not scared at all.
Zero it would have to be for me.

 

[lonerclown666]

is not scary is you have a purpose in do it

 

[OnlyTheWind]

As @Jumping_realms said, it would depend on the method. The state of mind you will find yourself in is also important. Sometimes I feel numb enough that I really don't care how I go. To be relevant, here are my final options with their fear score.

Full suspension - 5
SN - 4
Partial - 3

 

[LifeQuitter2018]

4 for SN.

 

[FarAcrossTheWater]

None at all if it's painless. Suicide is freedom.

 

[ratpudding]

I'll go a 5, right down the middle.

Im not scared of death itself, im scared of how painful committing suicide will be and god forbid, failing.

Exactly this

 

[deadverysoon]

it makes me feel better when i think about and i can kinda relax a little bit... sounds weired, but its that way...

 

[PeacefulTonic]

Somewhere around a 6-7. I'm worried about failure due to being found. And I'm also worried about how my death will affect my loved ones. I know many will be devastated, but I can't keep living for the sake of others. I'm not too scared of death or what comes after

 

[Papaver]

9, although it is lowering as time goes on. I'm mostly worried about the consequences of messing up my suicide, including what lies after death. If there is a hell, I most likely am going there. If there is a heaven, how can I be certain I will enjoy it? What if my loved ones are in hell? I dread reincarnation, because I dislike the thought of coming back to this world. I think the problem is that I'm an overthinker.

 

[douteiful]

It was probably 8 several years ago. Once I've lost hope in my future and also tried LSD and experienced how death felt like my fear went down to probably 2. I'm still a bit anxious about the idea of not existing and experiencing nothing at all.

 

[rxleep]

The suicide/dying part doesn't scare me at all. I am afraid of surviving at all but worse would be to survive but be incapacitated and want to die but not be able to do it again. I'm scared of the feeling of loneliness during the (hopefully just a few) minutes until I pass out.

I'm scared of that loneliness too

 

[PDAnnie2610]

I'm not scared of death. I'm more worried about how to die without affecting innocent bystanders

 

[DIWhyNoDO]

When I am in ideation mode, probably a 2. It sounds like the best option in those moments, and it doesn't scare me. I've only stopped myself due to SI and knowing that it's permanent.

Otherwise, around a 7-8. I know my life on earth really, really sucks, but I fear a lot of things relating to suicide. If my soul is reincarnated into something else, I have no control of what body I will be in or if my existence will be even worse than it is now. And I also can't grapple with being nothing for god knows how many years. It is a difficult concept to wrap my head around.

I am peaceful about that because I am an atheist.

I'll go a 5, right down the middle.

God can't judge you. He/She doesn't live a meanless and suffering human life.

 

[cloudnone]

Probably an 8. But to be entirely fair I have EXTREME anxiety to the point where a common thunderstorm is a SOLID 10.
