What do you do if too afraid to kill yourself?

[Bleak]

The thought of being able to end one's suffering through suicide can be a great comfort. But what other comfort is there if you know for a fact you are too afraid to do it? I feel extreme desperation inside every day and I can't find any relief. The problems driving me to want to die are insoluble.

The answer is when things get bad enough we may find the courage to finally ctb.

If you don't have the courage or willpower to do it then your time doesn't feel ready my friend. You may have no hope left within you but something deep inside is still fighting for you

Wishing you the best in your struggle

Suicide is very difficult, we are denied the option of euthanasia, methods could fail and of course we are programmed to survive after all. It requires a lot of courage. I just think you will know if/when it is the right time to leave. It is a feeling you will have. Whatever happens, I wish you the best. I'm sorry you are in this situation, I understand it must be awful feeling as though you are trapped.

Sooner or later all people want to die and many suicide attempts fail because suicide is difficult. It is the society that does wrong to us, the politicians force us to live, but we all should be entitled to euthanasia. No one should have to commit suicide.

It seems like all people here on Sanctioned Suicide do not have the willpower to overcome the survival instinct we were born with to kill themselves - why are we still alive? The body is not created to kill itself and it is difficult to obtain lethal medicine and aids. Most suicide attempts fail. Our pets are treated better than humans.

Maybe it just isn't your time yet. Or you haven't found a method that you find comfortable enough to attempt. Death is coming regardless. Suicide is just picking the time, instead of letting death happen to you.

Either way one day you will die. At least that is a small comfort knowing this suffering won't last forever. Personally I just don't see the point of dragging this out for decades if I have the option to leave early.
