Discussion Thought Experiment: If you could go back in time, would you still be suicidal?

[Efilismislife]

No i think

Maybe yes, but if it were possible to alter the order of existence (well, in reality everything has already happened) I would go to my 2-year-old self and try to throw myself from the bottom of the nursery into a parking lot below ... then, in my ignorance, every day I went up and a teacher took me down so that I wouldn't get hurt.
It would certainly have saved me a lot of suffering.

Potser si, però si fos possible alterar l'ordre de l'existència (doncs en realitat tot ha succeït ja) jo aniría a la meva edat de 2 anys i intentaría llençar-me daltabaix de la guardería cap a un pàrking que hi havía sota... llavors, en la meva ignorància, cada día m'hi pujava i una mestre em baixava perquè no prengués mal.
Sens dubte m'hagués estalviat molt de patiment.

I've thought about this a lot, going back in time, I'd go back to when I was still at school, with knowing everything I know now I'd do so much differently, I would also know which people to avoid and I would undue so many mistakes I've made in life.

mmm if I could go back in time and stopped myself from breaking up with my ex in 2015, that I may have delayed it a few years. However, my dysphoria would still have festered eventually and I would have grown to resent and envy her, so I don't think it would have kept me alive. It's for the best that I broke up with her since she is no longer with this broken pile of trash.

Even when times were good, I would sometimes catch myself saying I wish I could die; I should hang myself. It wasn't emotional, it wasn't a reaction to anything. Just talking to myself. One time I mentioned it out loud when my wife was nearby. I changed it to I wish it was Friday. Meaning, of course, the end of the work.
