Biggest Fear

[Avicii]

It's not so much the commitment it's the thought of surviving and being locked in syndrome where if you don't know what it is it's where your in a coma but awake inside but on the outside nothing no speaking no movement nothing

Becoming a vegetable and losing any last bit of control I have left.

Yes, like the movie Johnny Got His Gun.

And in a more sane world you wouldn't have to fear this because anyone who knew of your condition would swiftly put you out of your misery.

That would be a thousand times worse than actually succeeding at suicide. This is my biggest fear about trying to end my life, especially using any of the violent methods. You try to commit suicide, botch the attempt for whatever reason and wind up a disfigured and/or disabled and/or brain-damaged pile of flesh that has to be taken care of the rest of your natural life. And (!!!!!)...you still have the original problems that drove you to suicide in the first place.

Yes, like the movie Johnny Got His Gun.

That's frightening

 

[JadedGray]

That's frightening

Agreed. It would be a nightmare to be stuck in bed, unable to do anything for the rest of your life, waiting for death.

This is the only reason I haven't done the SN method yet. If this wasn't possible I'd be long gone. Sometimes it seems to me most people don't even think about this so at least I can relate to a few of you.

My biggest fear is poverty, aka "being homeless". I was raised by materialistic mother who constantly said that being poor is the biggest shame of all. It's like human's value is attached to their level of wealth.

I would do anything to avoid being homeless. I'd rather jump to the river and drowned than living as beggar on the street.

Ending up blind and deaf, but still feeling would be purest torture.
