does anyone really want to die or do they just want the pain to end. a lot of people want the pain to end either physical or mental health or both. in these cases I think almost all of them would choose to live if they could be suddenly well. lack of job divorce etc. causes depression etc. so if this could be cured I think they would want to live. I think if everyone could be well there would be little suicides. but this isn't possible what do you think if I go it will be due to physical pain illness and mental health I want to live but I want the pain to end suicide may be my only option

I can't suddenly be well, I can't spend my time like this. See myself as a burden an don't want to put my shit on people anymore. That question really frustrating, get asked it so much, things won't improve so suicide is my only option like yourself. Things won't get better. I would love not to exit but y'know there's more stuff like not standing by knowing we're destroying nature and unable to stop it, don't want to watch people hurting each other. I was walking in the street and I saw an adult hit a kid with a large stick, I didn't intervene, I should have, I didn't want to make it worse and I was shocked but said to him to tell somebody. This is the world we live in so it's not solely about mh and physical pain, it's a sick world and it's only going to get worse. Sorry if crap post.

Its a good question. Primarily I want the pain and dysfunction to stop. I have an application for a great jon in right now. I feel like that
Could be my only salvation. My only other option is for a life of manual labor And horrible depression/mental illness. A guy can only take so much. I'm barely hanging on at this point, I need it to stop.

it's not a crap post it's a good one. of course this thread is if you could stop pain would you want to live but it also goes for your reason if the world was better. but we know none of these things can come true. while you are alive try to make the world a little better if you can, volunteer to help the needy or animals etc. or just by a lunch for a homeless person, everything big and small helps. i'll get off my soapbox now lol.

People are too selfish unfortunately and too involved in their own lives. People care less about others, another reason to leave.

I DO believe everyone wants to be happy no one wants to die it´s because life isn´t worth living anymore, life is all about copes and when we run out of them there is nothing to look forward to i.e. no reason to live because why would anyone live if they don´t enjoy anything anymore.
We start out in life with basically infinite copes like playing with toys, climbing trees, watching cartoon, watching Disney movies, playing with our parents, friends etc. so many copes and as we grow older we get less and less and eventually no copes at least in my life (subjectively)

I started a tradition with my kids to voluntarily give one wrapped Christmas gift to charity(I made sure they didn't choose a big gift) and they still do it even though they're in their 30s plus my whole family does stuff to help others. there are a lot of people like that out there, but you're right there are more selfish people out there

I agree with you. I, also, am suicidal because I can't alleviate the pains of my life enough. And as you get older, new pains may arise while old ones are still hurting you. You hear people talk about the cumulative emotional pain of being repeatedly cheated on or the additive pains of sexual abuse and deprivation... And governments already know (from their and universities' verified research) that certain types of cultures (where people's base needs are taken care of...) have lower suicide odds. But many people just don't want those kinds of cultures so... I guess the best some of us can hope for right now is to support industries designing nearly painless, fast ways out of life (like Nitschke's Sarco Capsule).
