For me, it's cus of my family. If I CTB, they will never be the same. In fact, some of them will probably get severely depressed for life.

Because Im still searching for an effective method unlikely to leave me alive

In my case, I hope my family have to spend the rest of their miserable lives on this earth being wracked by guilt and sorrow. It will be the first time they feel either in their lives.

Your question is interesting. For a moment we are forced to answer mentally as soon as we read it. I don't think there is a single reason, so I will choose just one: because I have not initiated my exit. We know that nothing can stop us if we want to exit from existence. Nothing, except SI.

Simply because I

Can't shoot myself in the mouth
Stomach doesn't work right for sn
Don't trust co
I'm not jumping off a building
Id love to just take a bunch of pills but that doesn't work
I can't find an anchor point or find carotid for hanging

because they made every guaranteed suicide method like me hiring someone to help me with my suicide a crime . like for example me hiring someone else to shoot me 10 times in the head which is guaranteed they made that a crime and suicide booths, Nembutal etc they made all into crimes.

fear of me failing a suicide attempt and remaining alive with even more brain damage and or more physical damage

Cowardice and guilt

Some part of me still wants to live
But oh do I despise it
No idea if it's SI or an actual desire to keep going cause as of now everything feels pretty pointless

Because I have some family issues to deal with and I could never do CTB knowing that their fate would be a disaster without my help. But that means living like on death row, knowing that you will die soon, but not knowing when.

More or less the same. Although I've recently felt that for me this may not actually be as true as I worried. Though it's still my main reason, and such a strong reason that I have to wrestle with it, lately. wishing you love it's difficult to feel such a burden

No good reason really. If I'm truly honest, I wish I didn't have to die. It's just that given my life so far and what's coming in the immediate future for me, there is nothing left to live for but more pain and misery. So, I feel like my hand is a bit forced, by my situation and my life experience. At the same time, I'm trying to hold out as long as I can put up with the misery and the money holds out... just in case of a miracle. A miracle I in no way believe could ever happen nor have any real hope that it will happen... but just in case. That's the only reason I'm here.

Simply because the CTB methods that are accessible to me, all are difficult to go through

That is the only reason I'm still here. Otherwise would of been gone long time ago

Same. Whenever I rant with my bestfriend, I always come to the same conclusion—that life is full of ups and downs, and what's the point of it all anyway? I am down right now, then I will be up tomorrow. I'm just so tired of it all, especially the downs.

My bestfriend then tells me that THAT is precisely what life is: the ups and downs. You can't have ups without the downs. Sounds wise, philosophical, even comforting, but I'm just tired of it all. I just wanna lay in bed forever.

I had hope for a therapy for my health issues, but it didn't work. Now, I'm looking for an out again. I spend half my time looking for insomnia and Long Covid cures and the other half looking for videos on the nitrogen method. I want to live, but I can't live like THIS.

My chronic suicidality has not yet had an episode that was acute enough to push me over the edge.

Part of me hopes I do eventually have that. My baseline is depressed and anxious. It's admittedly not bad enough a lot of the time that I can go on with my day and do other things, but I still have this feeling following me like a buzz or ringing in my ears that I can never quite get to go away no matter how many times I try to make it.

I want to keep making things. Seeing other people happy when my ideas are put on paper, leaving my insignificant mark on the world, and expressing myself are all I'm living for anymore. Trying to please everyone is a sisyphean task.

I don't want to inflict the grief on my Dad. I also have a strong sense of obligation/ duty. Once I'm 'free' to go, I may linger on if I'm in the middle of a project. After that, there's a possibility that fear of an attempt, fear of failing may put me off but, hopefully I will overcome that.

Haven't found a fool proof painless way yet. I'm not 50 until September so I can't get the book yet. But I told myself that if I'm not ok by my 50th birthday I'll get the book and hopefully find something in there. I had been doing better after I had a hysterectomy and was on ozempic but that only lasted for about 8 months.

I live with my sister and her husband and he is not nice to me. I tell my sister and she makes all kinds of excuses for him. I'm so sick of hearing it. Even taking a photo of what he did and still...he didn't mean it, he wasn't paying attention. Such b.s.

My therapist says I'm doing better, but I don't know if it's my acting skills or at times I'm better... maybe I'll get alzheimers (sp?) Then I'll never remember if I'm ok or not. Amnesia? That wouldn't be so bad if I could make myself try not to remember again.
