What would stop you from being suicidal?

[fayth2567]

My therapist asked me this question from a worksheet and my answer was meds that would take away my suicidal thoughts. What would stop you from being suicidal?

 

[GasMonkey]

Having the body of a young chad (very good looking, tall, dark, handsome, full head of air, athletic, optimal health).

 

[Himalayan]

Being dead

 

[jessisme]

Having a job and a place to live. Being able to live independently.

 

[bed]

I'm really not sure, i'd like to say taking away my chronic pain which i've had for 4+ years but i've been suicidal for a decade. Perhaps UBI, having all my basic needs met and not having to work for the rest of my life just to live. That'd at least be a start but i'm not sure if it'd change my thoughts on life and wanting to live.

 

[MyLifeisHell]

Being dead.

 

[SectOfValtiel]

a normal brain
the ability to maintain literally any relationship, platonic *or* romantic
any form of love in my life that i dont end up destroying
somewhere clean and safe to sleep
an income

an apology, or at least an acknowledgement of wrongdoings to the extent that ive acknowledged my own... hell, just to hear her say she even regrets how she treated me would go a long way
god knows i do
or
even just the ability to forget about it all and move on instead

idk
no one small thing would change how i feel
i think, save for the first one, even if i had all those things id still be just as depressed
but i doubt a single one is achievable so ill probably never get to test that theory...

 

[Mofreeko]

A full retcon of my past and rewrite of my DNA.

 

[wasneverreallyhere]

as me, this person, and at this point in life, nothing at all. i feel really suffocated that i'm imprisoned as me on this timeline. i'd need to born as someone different with a different everything, and hope they make it through okay.

 

[Walilamdzii]

So I'm from a very small place, and now people have heard that I've been in hospital and it's the only thing they talk to me about... or they've heard someone else's "hot take" on me who doesn't know me very well. It's enough to make people turn away from me, it's incredibly isolating and I feel that my reputation has been ruined. It's enough to push me over the edge really.

 

[Fulminare]

I'd feel less suicidal if I could delete some of my memories.

 

[Euthanza]

Nothing. At this point of life, suicide is ideal for me.

 

[nifii]

Realistically: accepting the reality i'm in and dealing with it, instead of running away from it. Learning to give a shit about myself unconditionally

Not Realistically: having a healthy body again, not being traumatized, being young again

 

[locked*n*loaded]

If someone would just shoot me dead and get it over with.

 

[mateodolores]

Nothing.

 

[FallFadesIntoWinter]

Having the body of a young chad (very good looking, tall, dark, handsome, full head of air, athletic, optimal health).

I was/am that guy now (people tell me how they'd live my life if they looked like me) and it's definitely not all it's cracked up to be.

Honestly, in a lot of cases, it's more negative than positive. I get shit on by other guys for being attractive, it's held me back from getting promoted, it's made people hate me. People assume I'm stupid or, at the very least, shallow and vain. Women assume I'll cheat on them, men assume I'll cheat on them with their partners. I never get special treatment either because most people already think I must get enough of it already. If I didn't have a nice and honest personality, I'd be fucked.

Be you, in whatever way or form that you want to be, the world doesn't need any more Chads.

 

[Regret]

My therapist asked me this question from a worksheet and my answer was meds that would take away my suicidal thoughts. What would stop you from being suicidal?

Having a plan to try to get better again. Like life changing plan. Doing things completely differently and giving that a try and see how it goes?

 

[nopointinlife]

Dying in my sleep….I pray it happens tonight.

 

[botch3d]

If I didn't get the poison shot the rest was hard already (failed nasal surgery , many past traumas) but what this thing did to me just sealed the deal

 

[Purin]

A sense of purpose

 

[HermitLonerGuy]

getting a dick transplant or surgery, getting money , the narcissists who hurt me to own up to it and apologize.
so probably never going to stop being suicidal.

 

[Silent.Tears]

N & never-ending supply of money (not because I am greedy for money but because this world runs on money and you can't even maintain your basic lifestyle/buy food/access to quality healthcare etc. without money)

 

[WorthlessTrash]

Having the body of a young attractive cis woman. Idec if i was poor, I'd be able to manage. Better than hating myself every minute of every day.

 

[outrider567]

Absolutely nothing

 

[Reallysad]

Having my kids and family back

 

[Darkover]

i'd have to go back in time to aviod a brain injury caused by weed and headphones

 

[makethepainstop]

My therapist asked me this question from a worksheet and my answer was meds that would take away my suicidal thoughts. What would stop you from being suicidal?

Money, and a big furry blond boyfriend. But if I cant have those two items, why should I hang around and live in pain and misery?

 

[LivideLamb]

Leaving all the past behind and re-starting. Maybe starting a new life somewhere as a hermit. It could buy me a few more years.

 

[Malcolm Yarfa]

That's actually a very interesting question basically if I could afford living a good life without having to work, because of work and more specifically work environment completely destroys my mental health, any job ends up being the same

 

[FuneralCry]

Nothing could ever make me no longer wish to die as long as I still exist. I've never wanted to be here at all and I believe that it's the most rational thing to wish for suicide, it's what makes so much sense for me. There is no value to any kind of struggle when instead I could already be gone, there is so much beauty in the thought of being dead, it's such a comfort to me and it's all that I've ever wished for.

Life really is such a horrifying and pointless thing and I view it as being tragic how life even evolved in the first place. Existing is completely undesirable due to the inevitability of suffering in life and there is no value to ageing and deteriorating in this prison like human body which will just continue to torture us. I view life itself as being the true problem, I strongly despise simply just existing and as long as I'm conscious and aware I will suffer. It's such a burden and a curse having to exist in this world, I simply want to cease to exist and never have to experience anything for all eternity.
