What would it take to change your mind to not ctb?

[Cheemo]

I think for me it would be to get rid of this negative thinking and self loathing. It's so hard though. It's been like this all my life. It's like teaching your brain that blue is now red. I plan to do dbt (dialectical behavioral therapy) soon and hopefully that helps..

 

[Sebuet]

Time travel

 

[Huntfish34]

Numerous things.... Get rid of my self hatred, my depression / anxiety, stack of resentments / hatred towards some people , the list goes on..

If I could gain some self worth , esteem, and confidence... Would be a great help but I don't see any of that happening sadly.

 

[Pure]

Hmmmm, if I somehow got rid of my self loathing, lost weight, went back in time

 

[flagmaster]

It's a good question.

Life to be balanced and fair. Humans to be of worth and kind to one another. Peace and belonging. Purpose and meaning.

 

[xBrialesana]

Best of luck in dbt :)

I think like others have said and what leads many people here.. time travel.. so much. nothing I did either things that happened TO me I would've protected myself or avoided

 

[FuneralCry]

I do not know honestly. I think suicidal thoughts are a part of me no matter what. The thing is even if I got rid of some of my problems, like health ones and I could erase some memories, I still probably would want to ctb. Life itself is the problem for me and I do not want to live for many decades and reach old age. I simply do not like living, it is all just so pointless.

 

[DunnoWhyButYeah]

Hmm I think I always want to ctb... Maybe if my life is somehow happier and I'm with guy who feels right to me (yeah feeling love is important to me) I don't want to do it yet, but that is never going to happen so...

 

[goingoutinstyle]

if i were able to live without going to school/work and still have all the money i need, so i could move to a coastal town and spend the days painting and playing piano and traveling and exploring nature and baking and just having fun :(
if i were skinny and pretty
if i had close friends
if climate change miraculously disappeared and the environment was guaranteed to always be good
if societal issues were fixed (economic inequality, white supremacy, imperialism, etc)

 

[meetapple]

If I could time travel and gained self efficacy.

Same... all of which seem to be impossible.

 

[UKscotty]

Nothing. I am fit, have a good job, no debt, no history of abuse and have a good family and friends etc. Life just sucks and always has.

I just can not see any point in life seeing as we are all dying, just a case of when.

Why should I have to put up with this misery?

 

[BrokenLine]

The impossible, to be able to be myself and be accepted. To have meaning a purpose (have this and losing that right now) to matter, knowing i'd be missed that someone who matters to me (very rarely do i feel the risk is worth this) that their life's happier and better because I'm there. Not the usual me just getting used. Why i always end up alone and lonely.

Divine intervention wether be an undeniable sign from the universe or a vision/dream

I don't understand. Things seem to be going well for you? Are you bored? Do you have chronic depression? Just curious, not trying to be pushy or anything.
there is no point in life like you said but why end it early if it's going ok?

Divine intervention wether be an undeniable sign from the universe or a vision/dream

A vision of what?

 

[Alwaysbadtime]

If someone gifted me an animal sanctuary to own and run and I had suddenly a hot bf/husband to help me run it. If I could somehow go back in time and keep the pets I had to depart from...If suddenly my head/brain would stop hurting like a constant never-ending hangover.

Money in the bank to last...and to lose weight and wake up to an awesome wardrobe.

 

[aviation]

Nothing, because it's not an act of desperation for me, or a reaction to external circumstances, but simply time to leave.

 

[clown_17]

Reset my brain to before it got messed up. Or maybe give me a second chance at life where I actually got support.

 

[OnlyTheWind]

The life I wanted with the circumstances I wanted. Problem is, this has become a nihilistic and existential decision as much as it was due to depression. So I guess, nothing. Sad af.

 

[Realman!@]

A world that isn't collapsing, and a time machine.

 

[stygal]

Only thing that made me wait a couple of years longer: money, lots of money

In the end we live on a dying planet and it's about to get much worse so even if all my "problems" were solved I'd still need an "exit plan".

 

[CatTheBus5689]

Maybe if the right person told me not to go. But I know for a fact that will never happen.

 

[suisuiforum]

Maybe with different brain chemistry I'd be happier, but that's not even a guarantee. As of this moment, I cannot imagine anything that would convince me to live. If I had a billion dollars, I'd use it as bribery for the best euthanasia cocktail, and someone to administer it to me to ensure that my death is painless.

 

[Cheemo]

Everyone's wishes, hopes, and dreams… I wish I could fulfill them all for you. :c

 

[electrojellysoup]

If I was born with a different body. If my family would accept me for who I am and my beliefs. If the world and people stopped being so shit and so unpredictable. If getting help wasn't so expensive.

 

[ClownMe]

I doubt anything could change my mind at this point.

 

[Cant Maintain]

Quality of life as a trans person, and that one ain't happening chief.

 

[upthedownescalatorr]

If my brain damage, insomnia, muscle spasms and tinnitus induced by medications could somehow be fixed I'd reconsider.

 

[Dear Agony]

Time travel or a cure for mental illnesses.

 

[WatermelonMel]

A fair world, no mental illnesses/diseases/nasty people.

There is nothing in the realm of possibility that would make me want to continue living.
