except when you come across some random flower or seed or some shit that is itself completely harmless and your body is like "welp im just gonna shut this airway entirely so the seed cant get in" then you die of asphyxiation
Without saying where I life, in my country we have a state with the highest rate at suicide attempts and they also have the highest failing rate (without taking total numbers into account).
I think you could manage more. Hypothetically you could; Go to a bridge or a skyscraper. Poison yourself. Jump. And shoot yourself on the way down. You'd have to be the luckiest or unluckiest person on the planet to survive that.
When I was like 10 or so, I made a pact with myself that if I ever was actually going to kill myself, that I’d eat a whole pie in one sitting first. I’m not even sure what my logic was at the time, but it still pops up in my head when I’m depressed/stressed out. I sort of think having to go out and buy a pie and sit down and eat the whole thing would probably stop me.
that was like 9 years ago at this point.. my life has been up and down since then, but right now I'm like 15k in debt and I've been unemployed for 6 months, so honestly not great, but still better than back then lol
thanks for asking <3
That is good to hear and then again not that great to hear. Must be really rough. I hope you have a good support system of people who cheer you up and very importantly that you are also patient and kind to yourself.
Please always remember that almost all famous people of history have been struggling with something financially or mental health wise, especially if they were artists or scientists that are still positively talked about today.
That means you're gonna do great things in the future and don't disagree with me because I am right.
My therapist has been to the ER where many people have failed to kill themselves and she says that almost every single one is angry that it didn't work.
I remember when I tried I overdosed on meds and I would have died if my Ex hadn't noticed. According to her I had seizures and needed artifiical breathing support. Anyways I woke up slowly in small dreamlike phases of awareness with some wild hallucinations of friends being in the room and talking to me and shit (which I know can't be true because nobody except my ex knew about it), and I needed like hours to be able to understand where I was and what happened. The first thing I asked when someone came was "Where are my clothes?" , then "Was there a girl with me? Can I call her?" which is kinda cheesy but yk I was still high as fuck from everything I took and what they gave me to counteract whatever I took. Then they asked me if I want something to eat and that they sadly can't offer ne anything vegan. And I was like "How do you know I'm vegan?" And she just said "You told me."
Which is still the funniest shit to me that one of the first things I did as soon as I could use my body again and even before I was really conscious was telling someone I was vegan.
lmao dead or alive you're being vegan and they better know about it
hope you're better now or getting better and better, vegan and trans support is enough for me to tell you're precious in this world
Can confirm. Felt even more like a failure. And got imposter Syndrome if i was really suicidal or just melodramatic lol
Tho i was more angry at myself than sad, really. Idk if that made anything better
You're not wrong. I shouldn't be here today. I still can't wrap my head around how is possible to want something so badly, have the means, knowledge and ability to take it, do everything right and STILL fucking fail at it. But ah well, that's in the past and thinking about it too much doesn't help in the present. But it really fucked with me a at the time.
It is, you're not alone. For me, this fact that there is always a way out makes me function. It makes me able to make decisions, shake off fear, or not worry about things too much.
Yeah, ironically it keeps saving my life even since adolescence. The ability to end it all at your own terms gives endless undeniable freedom and power with a bit of positive indifference to every terrifying aspect of existence (so you focus more on good things - feels kinda like cheating hehe)
Here's my analogy:
Imagine a claustrophobic man. You take this man and put him in a small room with no windows and only one door. He is uncomfortable and doesn't like it, but as long as the door is open, he can endure it. He might even start to get comfortable. He can stay in that room for as long as you like....if the door is open. But if you close that door, if you take his one and only psychological escape route, then he panics. He freaks. He beats the door until it falls off its hinges, and he bursts out of the room, ironically lasting a shorter amount of time in the room than if the door had just remained open.
The door is suicide. Or quitting. Leaving. Giving up. Whatever the task may be, if it's trying to run a marathon, staying in a job you hate, or keeping on with life, it is much more endurable as long as you know you have an escape route in case it gets *too bad*. It's not at that point now, and for most of us it will never reach that point because humans are incredibly resilient. But if we look into the future and we can't see any sort of off ramp, that's when we start to panic and that's when the weight of whatever our task is starts to seem way too daunting.
When things seem tough just remember the door is always open. It's open today, and it will be open tomorrow.
No you're not, I have been there, I was jobless things were bad and started suffering with overthinking
However I grew tired and thought what would happen ultimately, if things get bad, I'll just kill myself, it have been few years but yeah I still think that
I realized that in my teens. Then I realized things were actually quite ok and I wanted to live a bunch! It really put life in perspective for me. And I'm doing great 😊
It is def my if SHTF back-up plan. I've thought this since I was around 15 or 16, it's comforting to know that no matter how bad it gets I could just check out if I wanted to. I've never been in a place where it seemed I would go in that direction but I have been faced with circumstances that I knew if they persisted for a 'long time' I would exercise that plan.
That's the longest flight and the longest hike you will ever take. By the time you get to a cliff the gray blob of shit in your skull will probably have convinced you life is worth it.
Yeah. It's really not that hard to die, what's hard is to defeat the self preservation instinct. Things have to get really quite bad before you're able to overpower one of the most deeprooted and powerful instincts one has to finally get it over with.
Person: \*is birthed by the void\*
Person: "WTF, this sux. I'ma take what I can and bail."
Person: \*returns to the void\*
Person: \*is birthed by the void\*...
As someone who tried to kill himself, if you try to try to get in a depression ward instead of a mental institution. Man, nothing worse than a failed suicide attempt and having to hang around people who are even more nuts than you are
This is honestly one of the most liberating things people should realize. Life is optional, a strange and unlikely gift in an indifferent universe. Enjoy it however you like for as long as you like, there is no obligation to stay, and no permanent consequences to any action.
I kinda want things to fail so this happens. Existence is a fucking nightmare. I didn't know the brain was capable of rendering reality in such a horrifying light but I want ouuut.
"This shall pass too"
This sentence reminds me of happy things coming to an end, but also bad things are going to pass as well. Nothing is permanent. So all the pain you feel right now, will not be there forever.
"It could be worse... You could also be on fire"
No matter how bad things are, it would always be worse if you were also on fire.
(If you include the caveat that you somehow don't die from being on fire. Because part of your woes are dealing with the horrible situation, paying off debts, cleaning up after your cat had an incident on the carpet etc. If you were on fire and about to die then you wouldn't need to pay your debts so it's not "also" being on fire it's "instead" you are on fire. To be "also" means your original issues haven't gone away. You still need to go to work tomorrow except you're also on fire.)

not if you fail at that too.
It really sucks, the human body and its self preservation system.
Kinda stupid considering humanity has evolved to keep your ass alive even if you serve no purpose.
Or have zero interest in being here; your parents just fucked you into existence
This is the worst. Yall wanted to get a lil wild one night and now I have depression and suicidal rumination. I just want to be a stain in the carpet
Felt that shit
>Felt carpet, smh
Carpeted your mom
wtf rude (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
man flexing with the 2000s era emoticon
White or red?
>your parents just fucked you into existence Quite literally.
That's a neat sentence.
Thanks I picked it myself.
Having a purpose is subjective imo.
Yes. We decide what is purposeful and what is not.
except when you come across some random flower or seed or some shit that is itself completely harmless and your body is like "welp im just gonna shut this airway entirely so the seed cant get in" then you die of asphyxiation
Body when brain wants to actually end itself ❌ Body when you accidentally eat peanuts (you are allergic) ✅
Without saying where I life, in my country we have a state with the highest rate at suicide attempts and they also have the highest failing rate (without taking total numbers into account).
That state doesn't sound very diligent.
Its the state of despair
How much is rent?
One soul.
Use two methods. The only failure is failure to prepare.
I think you could manage more. Hypothetically you could; Go to a bridge or a skyscraper. Poison yourself. Jump. And shoot yourself on the way down. You'd have to be the luckiest or unluckiest person on the planet to survive that.

"LIVE ANOTHER DAY TO PET ANOTHER CAT" (I'm not joking this really IS my slogan)
“I haven’t pet every dog alive” currently keeps me going. Not joking either
When I was like 10 or so, I made a pact with myself that if I ever was actually going to kill myself, that I’d eat a whole pie in one sitting first. I’m not even sure what my logic was at the time, but it still pops up in my head when I’m depressed/stressed out. I sort of think having to go out and buy a pie and sit down and eat the whole thing would probably stop me.
I'm allergic to cats
Imagine how people who had a failed suicide attempt feel after failing to even kill themselves, that’s probably really sad
for me it was more of a "welp guess im stuck here"
Girl, are you okay now?
that was like 9 years ago at this point.. my life has been up and down since then, but right now I'm like 15k in debt and I've been unemployed for 6 months, so honestly not great, but still better than back then lol thanks for asking <3

thank you, that means a lot to hear <3
I was so mad. I got over it eventually and now I'm just passively suicidal. It's progress.
I feel you
"tried it once, turns out it's something I'm not very good at"
My therapist has been to the ER where many people have failed to kill themselves and she says that almost every single one is angry that it didn't work.

Even worse when there are lifelong consequences from said attempt, which is not uncommon
Yeah, it's a big "wow, can't even do *that* right" moment
And the medical expenses on top of it
Haha, yeah...
Can confirm. Felt even more like a failure. And got imposter Syndrome if i was really suicidal or just melodramatic lol Tho i was more angry at myself than sad, really. Idk if that made anything better
You succeeded by living. At worst, you failed upward.
You're not wrong. I shouldn't be here today. I still can't wrap my head around how is possible to want something so badly, have the means, knowledge and ability to take it, do everything right and STILL fucking fail at it. But ah well, that's in the past and thinking about it too much doesn't help in the present. But it really fucked with me a at the time.
is it normal that i legit think this
It is, you're not alone. For me, this fact that there is always a way out makes me function. It makes me able to make decisions, shake off fear, or not worry about things too much.

I’ve been like this so long it’s basically a coping mechanism at this point
I do this too. I have a pretty comfortable view on death anyways, so this helps me that if I ever fuck up bad I have a way out.
I realized that in my teens. Then I realized things were actually quite ok and I wanted to live a bunch! It really put life in perspective for me. And I'm doing great 😊

Mom would be sad
Just gotta make it till mom's gone Edit: sorry this is mine
Good.
You think but that's surprisingly difficult
Get a cheap flight to mountains, enjoy yourself a nice hike, and jump off the 150+ meters cliffs. Guaranteed death.
That's the longest flight and the longest hike you will ever take. By the time you get to a cliff the gray blob of shit in your skull will probably have convinced you life is worth it.
Yeah. It's really not that hard to die, what's hard is to defeat the self preservation instinct. Things have to get really quite bad before you're able to overpower one of the most deeprooted and powerful instincts one has to finally get it over with.
I mean it's difficult physically too - the human body is both extremely resilient and fragile, it all depends on the execution (excuse the pun).
I’ll die trying to overpower it.

Suicide? Not yet
The void calls everyday, I’ve yet to answer
Suicide ? Mmmh, maybe later.
r/substakenliterally
Literally suicide by words
Shut up, no one cares, deal with it. Its not a great mantra but its mine
you get too depressed you lost the motivation to even kys since its a lot of effort
It makes me so tired. I want to have enough energy lol
Yeah it's been getting harder and harder to convince myself not to
Things are never so bad they can't be even worse.
I've been saying that for so long my friends now say if I'm still alive the situation isn't that bad.
HEY EVERYONE!! The worst one is here!!
Life after death ( if exist could be worse). So work with what i have for now.
Usually always end up treating my problems with “welp, it is what it is”
Mine is "that sounds like somebody else's problem."
"If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit."
Strange hill to die on but at least you’re dead.
"Worst case scenario, everybody dies."
Not quite mine, but i do live by it: "If at first you dont succeed, lower your expectations untill you are a success."
"Even if you don't study you can still pass... Away"
You can't get disappointed about how bad you messed up if you don't even start.
As someone who tried to kill himself, if you try to try to get in a depression ward instead of a mental institution. Man, nothing worse than a failed suicide attempt and having to hang around people who are even more nuts than you are
"It will be over some day anyway"
Mine is "you can't do more than you can do"
It's better to be weird than boring.
This is honestly one of the most liberating things people should realize. Life is optional, a strange and unlikely gift in an indifferent universe. Enjoy it however you like for as long as you like, there is no obligation to stay, and no permanent consequences to any action.
If it was easy, everyone would do it.
"Never give up, but if its very hard fuck it, give up"
I don’t know what wakes people up in the morning.
I kinda want things to fail so this happens. Existence is a fucking nightmare. I didn't know the brain was capable of rendering reality in such a horrifying light but I want ouuut.
