Anyone else want to die partially because they’re bored?

[Kramer]

I'm pretty much out of things to do. I don't have a lot of money so there's not a lot I can do.

 

[Deleted member 14573]

Not boredom...just a feeling of emptiness and an inability to feel good.

Pretty similar to the mind numbing feeling of boredom

I've stopped doing anything, it's not quite boredom, I think when you're missing a lot of basic activities in your life you're going against some pretty basic needs

What basic activities?

 

[Deleted member 22624]

What basic activities?

I think work, socializing, exercise, eating healthily, looking after yourself, your environment, your future

 

[Kramer]

Eating healthy, exercising, looking after yourself doesn't require anyone but yourself.

No.

People have all sorts of reasons for killing themselves.

Some problems may be more intractable than others.

Boredom is such a minor, such a small...problem compared to what a lot of people struggle with on here.

I have the deepest sympathies with young people who have chronic health problems.

Umm, ok, so?

 

[eclipsee99]

Wouldn't say "boredom" is the right word. I guess, I feel so empty inside, that even the most basic things seem like a waste of time. Things what I used to enjoy, I don't.

To be honest I wish I could experience boredom instead of emptiness. All I feel is nothing.

That actually makes more sense than the previous description of boredom.

There's probably a lot of sensations people struggle to describe because we just don't have any good words for it.

I'm sorry you feel this way friend.

If it's any consolation, one day, even if it's far away in the future, it will end.

 

[Jantje]

Boredom is (for me) a result of feeling empty inside. I just don't feel like doing things I used to enjoy so much. Every now and then I just try to enjoy it again by doing stuff like joining a community I have left, contemplating breaking up, buying stuff I used to collect, playing old games etc.. The fact that I know i'm only doing it make myself feel better makes me feel worse so I always end up in the place I started in.

 

[kitee80]

yeah i abuse xanax and nyquil so i can sleepn longer cuz i just don't know how to spend my so‐called "free time"

 

[Deleted member 22624]

I sold almost everything I have after psychosis, and I'm just a shell now. I thought it would help but I do feel dead inside. You know humans used to be able to hibernate? I'd hibernate and never wake up.

 

[Kat!]

yes

 

[Superdeterminist]

Yes. I'm poor and to a large extent, money = freedom so I'm not free to do very much. Having nothing to do really contributes to ctb urges.

"Boredom is the dream bird that hatches the egg of experience. A rustling in the leaves drives him away."

Walter Benjamin

 

[stygal]

I feel like I already experienced every good/exciting thing that was in store for me. (I am grateful that I had those opportunities)

But from now on it's only going to be working all the time, having this empty feeling/boredom inside and having less and less physical abilities.

 

[Kramer]

I said partially.

Then you're not deprived of being able to have those experiences. Stop playing victim.

Boredom is a Hell in itself.

You know, I changed my opinion. You're right. All encompassing boredom, like that found in a prison cell would be challenging.

Out here in the world, it seems like there's always something one can do to keep themselves engaged.

You don't have exclusive needs that warrant ctb. Trivialising other people's suffering is a shitty thing to do. I'll leave you alone now

 

[Hyperbunny]

I'm pretty much out of things to do. I don't have a lot of money so there's not a lot I can do.

i think life is pointless
and its so monotomous, if ur ill aswell, i think its just become yet more stressful

 

[WornOutLife]

In my case it's not boredom because I'm never bored.
I don't have that much money either but there's a lot of stuff you can do.

For instance, I'm learning japanese from mainly free resources and it's really entertaining.

Also, just wondering about what the hell life is, is interesting too.

 

[Hyperbunny]

boredom itself never made me want to ctb though

 

[eclipsee99]

Boredom is a Hell in itself.

As I said, I wish I could feel bored right now. I know you said you want to CTB partially for being bored, but in my personal opinion being bored is a extremely minor problem. Yes it can be a factor in your overall mental health, but I wouldn't call it a reason to CTB personally.

That's my overall opinion, not here to cause a scene, just stating an opinion. Just like you're entitled to your opinion :)

 

[heraclitus]

I'm frustrated at having daily to live with the consequences of my bad choices. Correcting them now would only be a partial solution.

The monotony is the worst.

What are some of your bad choices? I'm very good at making neutral decisions, so I can't recall many bad choices I've made.

 

[mayHeCurseUsAll]

Yes. I know life has nothing to offer me, I truly believe whether you live a long and "exciting" life or a boring one that was shorter than average if you are conscious before your final moments the difference in elapsed time will be immaterial. We will all feel that terror in the end with not a worldly thing to hold on to. Hope is delusional, at least for me, its scarier than craving the end, which is comforting.

There was a quote by Marcus Aurelius where he says that it doesn't matter if your life is short or long because all you lose is the present moment.

 

[Amumu]

I think I'd like to be bored. No physical problems, friends, gf, job, routine.
