What keeps you going?

[Parnate]

for me , its my being stuck in a limbo. Neither normal not completely suicidal.
At times I do feel an extreme push but almost every time I just ride it instead of doing something.

My parents are still alive. They are providing almost no support for my depression, and whenever i feel very sad, they never comfort me, but I keep going because my death will put them in an early grave (they are elders 77 and 75)
I postpone my suicide as long as I can, but when my chronic pain gets really bad, I will still do it eventually - with SN.

im honestly not sure

 

[tunnelV]

Oh, of course it's my 2 little precious dogs. Not life, not my husband, not my job.

 

[kuroshimi]

Not sure. Maybe the desire to experience things, because after your death you will cease to feel and life around will go on. It's frightening.
And family and friends, of course.

for me I guess it's the thought at the back of my mind that cbt is always an option when things go south
kind of ironic to keep on living knowing I can be gone whenever I choose, but that at least puts me at ease

 

[FuneralCry]

The fact that I'm so cruelly denied the option to cease existing in peace that is guaranteed with no more pain and no more suffering, I just always suffer so much from being trapped in this torturous existence I just always saw as a mistake, it truly is the most horrific world where suicide is seen as a crime with the suffering and torture of existing seen as to force and prolong no matter what, all I want is to be gone, only non-existence can bring me the peace I search for from the abomination of existence that just causes harm and suffering with no limit as to how much one can be tortured.

I felt that ways before, but now I just don't care anymore. Growing up my mother was extremely abusive and father was neglectful and unable to provide enough so I don't really feel that I need to live for them.

I wish i had the same thought process like you. If I did, I would have ctb many years ago, saving myself a ton of pain and disappointments.

A promise I made 8 years ago, that I'd be at my nephew's graduation. He graduates next year so the brain itching burden will soon be over.

 

[gunmetalblue11]

My cat, patience and drugs.

 

[Proceed]

My "hobbies" (they're more like time wasters than anything.)

 

[Pluto]

 

[In4rope]

Alchocol and fear of ruining lives of my family

 

[Unlucky777]

My nieces (9 months and 4 years old)
I'm going back to school to study audio engineering and music production. That is one of the reasons for me to keep going and to further develop my talent for making music.
My sister. I can't abandon her. I just can't.

It's complicated tho

 

[helplesship]

the whole thing's just survival instinct tbh. nothing left to reach for or expect, my life's empty af lol. lowkey wish i had an m9 beretta instead of that thin rope i'm even too scared to kick the chair with. gotta get over these SI, fr​

 

[Gangrel]

fear, my partner, my family

 

[Spite]

Music, video games, the art I create... the tiny twinge of hope that I hold on to that maybe, maybe, my life will get better as time goes on.
