I have recently come across some users answering this question and it amused me how little it would take for them not to think about suicide anymore. For me, several key aspects of life would have to radically change, some things even beyond the theoretically possible. It wouldn't look like anything we have anymore.

So what would make your life worth living?

having any future tbh, most of my suicidal urges come from having no passions in life, no motivation for anything ever, my depression just gets worse and worse as a spend 90% of my day rotting in bed. i dont even have a job, the only thing that gets me out of the house is community college even then i just cant bring myself to care. all of these just lead to a future where im the worst version of myself, id rather just die then be forced to live in that future.

i'm sure that you've already been told but your apathy towards everything is caused by the depression and thus it feeds itself and becomes a ourobouros loop. I'm not implying that it's in any way remotely easy to break out of that cycle but it is something that has a reasonably positive chance of being solvable. If you have acess to medication i suggest doing that asap, you might be switching meds for a while but eventually one will hit. If not, then i recommend using your few moments of lucidity to try out new things, even things that you do not picture yourself having enjoyment in. something will make sense for you.

this all of course takes effort and whether or not you're willing to do that is up to you. you might not even be able to, i don't know you. anyways, i wish whatever it is that's the best for you

To have a brain that was not mercilessly nuked by heroin and other mystery substances whilst it was being formed in the womb of the mother who is subjecting her child to this onslaught of friendly fire.

And if not even that, to have a culture that doesn't pretend prenatal substance exposure conditions don't exist except when they can use it to denigrate someone, that would be nice.

Don't feel put off from making your own wish, wish-granting isn't a one time deal last time I checked, unless genies have changed their contracts.

Well, it sounds corny but I just wish for peace, liberty, and equality. Real equality. Its an impossible thing, but I can still dream.
But your wish seems so much more... important? If that's the right word? You're just asking for a fair shot.

yours is equally as important. you want some very real and intense and avoidable suffering to stop. arguably your wish would have helped prevent nbt's in vitro intoxication from happening. do not think it is petty or be ashamed of it. be bold. this thinking is what will heal the world.

being back home and be with my parents again. Sure I was depressed and suicidal when I was with them a year ago too, but only now I'm realizing how much they truly loved me... I crave that unconditional love every day. I know they still love me, but with life constantly getting on the way we are talking less and less, and I can feel we are getting distant and it feels like I can barely do anything about this.

i don't know you and so i can't make a good judgement on this but it is highly likely your parents love you just as much as when you were living with them. people grow distant but the feelings do not turn cold. i'm sorry that life is keeping you away from them. i value the support i have from everyone in my life and while it does not make it good, i don't take it for granted precisely because i'm so scared of how it would be without it. i hope things get better.

You think so? You're very thoughtful. Maybe if I was born without brain damage I could've been the scientist that cures cancer, or maybe I would've became a Hitler 2.0. So really I think my wish is a lot less important and a lot more self serving than yours.

Actually, I change my wish. I wish everyone could be like you. I think if that were to happen we would be much closer to this world of peace, liberty and equality.

I guess maybe we can agree that your original wish is one of equality? If so we share the same wish.

Same as you. Literally everything would have to change about our biology and this world- it would become unrecognisable. The things I do enjoy about this world- eating unhealthy food, being lazy, playing computer games, having less pressure to work- are totally at odds with what you need to do in this world to live a reasonable life.

I don't think what I want is in any way compatible with what is required of me. All it would be and is doing is finding some sort of compromise. Where I do little enough to at least not feel overwhelmed but, not enough to make my life substantially better. Effectively treading water.

Perhaps money would solve the pressure to work issue. It wouldn't make me healthier though. Every damn thing in this world requires vast amounts of effort or restraint. Don't eat that hugely comforting biscuit. Eat a carrot instead. Don't just sit on your arse- go and take on some punishing exercise routine. I don't like my body's needs and, they're never going to go away so really- nothing is going to help substantially.

What would make my life worth it? I can list off some points below...

* Not being autistic.
* Having friends.
* Having something to actually look forward to instead of spending the rest of my life being stuck in wageslave 9-to-5 hell.
* Being able to fulfil my desires.
* Being able to live somewhere nicer than where I am stuck currently.
* Having a lot of money.
* Having a full, supportive and loving family (my maternal family supports me even if we're distant, my paternal family disowned me years ago)

No, existence could never be worth it to me, I see existence as the most terrible mistake that just causes harm and suffering with no limit as to how much one can be tortured, for me only non-existence is positive.

I'll just always find it so undesirable to suffer in this dreadful, torturous existence, to me existence truly is an abomination and I suffer so much as a result of being burdened with this existence, for me existence really is the problem and I find it terrifying how a human can suffer for so long just to die in agony from old age, all I want is peace, I wish to erase this existence, I'll always find it so undesirable to exist in every way.

For me, several key aspects of life would have to radically change, some things even beyond the theoretically possible. It wouldn't look like anything we have anymore.

So what would make your life worth living?
A Quick List:
  1. A stable economy. Inflation is making the basics of living unaffordable.
  2. Affordable and competent mental health care
  3. Affordable healthcare in general
  4. A support group that helps me navigate life despite my symptoms.
  5. A stable government. (The US is currently imploding and destroying the Middle Class.)
  6. A loving and supportive relationship.
  7. Seeing my kids and my dogs regularly.
  8. Affordable housing.
  9. A supportive family and circle of friends.
  10. Feeling "normal" and not swinging back and forth between anxiety and depression.

Nothing. Nothing at all. I am far beyond salvation. Even if tomorrow I woke up a millionaire, moved out of my insane parents' crackden, and with the girl of my dreams right next to me, I would still not be happy. Nothing can undo the torture I have been through.

If there wouldn't be anymore suicidal people, if we'd try to move forward and actually co-operate with eachother, regardless how I feel right now, I'd try, I'd actually try, until then, I will only live to destroy what I hate and nothing more.

Me helping is no good either, there is no escaping from prison together in the world as we know it, it's either we're all happy or no one is, I'm not about to put my blinders on and live happily ever after, no.

Extreme Pain is much worse than people know
Aug 12, 2019

nothing could ever make me want to live or exist under any cirmcumstances, even in what they say is a "good" life

I would never want to take the risk of unbearable pain or extreme suffering

Its the horror of this world that the pleasure addictions are fleeting and meaningless, how fast did the last 5 years pass by, but a second of the worst pain can seem like a year

I would never want to exist in this evil world, and as a slave prisoner with no guaranteed way out

There is no objective reason for me to continue to live anyway

Much less working so hard only to exist under threat of extreme torture

much less as a needy fragile decaying bag of 30 trillion cells they call a human body they imprisoned me in ,imposed on me.

Its the pleasure addictions that r the worst to me as they fooled me distracted me to lead me only to the worst torture
