Discussion what keeps you here?

[Myrth]

I think that I'm scared of the pain of trying to CBT. And I have no clue what my preferred method would but it does feel like I'm getting more and more into a breaking point.

i'm sure people have already discussed this before, but what keeps you from ctb, even knowing you're going to eventually do it? i've always been curious to what other people have in their lives that keep them around, most people i ask always give really deep meaning answers which i do appreciate but i feel like it doesn't always have to be that deep. for me, it's recently been really small things. one of my favorite shows is dropping new episodes every week and i want to finish it before i inevitably ctb, is it like this for anyone else? am i misconstrued for having such shallow reasons for sticking around?

My kids. They're technically adults but not independent. I feel like once they are out and stable on their own, ill feel better about it. Parents are supposed to go first anyway, its the natural order. Also my pets. So I just have to wait until all the animals die. I thought about trying to carbon monoxide myself and the animals. I know that's terrible, and I wouldn't do that to them. I just think death is better than ending up in some terrible shelter. Scared, confused, alone in a tiny cage. Better to drift off to sleep in the arms of the human who loves them. And you dint need some deep reason for staying. Finding out how a show ends is valid.

fear of death, guilt, my sister, and my lizards

 

[outerspaceangel999]

a bunch of things honestly

a big one is fear. i keep saying to myself i wanna die but really all i wanna do is start over. i wanna be alive, the problem is the life ive given myself. i could have been so much more, even if i just got help when it started getting bad. now it feels like this is all i'll ever be but a part of me keeps hanging onto the hope that maybe, i can be more.

my loved ones are also a big reason, it's bittersweet but i'm grateful for that. i dont want my parents burying their only child, and i'll miss just hanging out doing nothing with my friends

and the reason that has been here the longest is probably music. i dont wanna die in silence but i can't decide what i wanna listen to when i go. it sounds silly, and it is, but knowing i wont ever be able to do that again is the scariest thing. at least it keeps me going

There's a game a want to play that won't be out till next year. It's the only thing I have interest in in life right now. But I won't be around most likely. It's funny that I promised my self to stay alive long enough to play it. But my situation is so bad Iikely won't make it.

Okay but also like my horrible pain tolerance (therefore death is scary)

And like my friends and family who love a version of me that I cannot live up to (and ik I can't cause I've been getting worse and worse at keeping this shit up lately, it's only a matter of time before they eventually realize that my incompetence isn't a teenage phase, and idk what the FUCK I'm going to do when it does.)

I only come here when I'm super depressed, SS allows me to express my current state of mind, as woeful as it is, as it will forever be

I still have some unfinished business, basically.

I am in the same boat as you.I am still deciding what stuff I would like to get done & ones I don't care as much.

Laziness and FOMO

anymore, fear. if there's something after, I dont want there to be but i have always believed there might be.

i wrote about it in a post last year, but the constant "this is coming out" "this event is happening" is played the fuck out. the sentences i have said to myself themost this year is definitely "just fucking kill yourself" or "i hate my life" in one form or another. just trying to get the courage. Idon't want to die, but I do not want to deal with situations thrust upon me for the rest of my life, since my problem is a lifelong family tie. the fear of missing out hasn't affected my decision at all since september

days/moods like today. im more just irritated than suicidal. kind of "rational" too? i feel like one of my reasons for ctb has worn off since i stopped caring so much about that person/situation lately. what the fuck. how did i care so much for 2 years and now i dont seem to? i think i got the closure and exposure i needed. who knows, i might be crying about it and care all over again tomorrow. my feelings about this are so conflicting. i broke down crying in the shower over it a few days ago and today i feel almost nothing?

I think that's probably really close to how i feel. except every time i have to interact with my ex, which is often since we have a young child, I feel like the timer just resets.

Personally ive been waiting for summer for too long, i have quite a few concerts lined up this year and im seeing my favourite band twice in july so im gonna give my friends some more memories and ill go when it gets colder im thinking September i wanted to go early but my friends bdays on the 6th so that feels cruel

I am still here because I am a coward who is afraid to know what will continue after death

honestly fair, what game is it if you dont mind me asking? i'll have to keep an eye out

this is so real. a lot of my family and those around me seem to only love this version of me they have in their head, some smart little girl that does whatever they wish. now that im an adult and becoming the man i actually am im watching them slowly drift away. it hurts a lot at first, watching the people you love the most refuse to accept that you arent what they wish you were. but on the other hand, ive found my own family within my friends. my roommate, chosen brother, best friends. they love me for who i am and that's all that matters. i hope you find people like that in your life that bring you peace :)

No one else will take care of my cat. It will send my mom into horrible hysterics and break her. My dad, too, probably. I just know my mom couldn't handle it. So I'll keep working my low-end job to pay for my cat's maintenance and bide my time with the rare social outing until I either take myself out or something takes me out.

Wanting to get thin enough to make people worry but it's a flimsy reason that doesn't work more recently.
