Screw the other people, do it for yourself. You deserve it.

The only thing that keeps me going is the hope that things will change. If I ever think that things will always be like this, game over. I'd rather be dead than live like this for another day, let alone the potential five decades of the rest of my life. that's a terrible thought, for me at least.

I've wanted to die for five years now. I would have killed myself already if I didn't fear pain or permanently handicapping myself somehow.

Yeah, this too. Wouldn't it be just typical? Knowing my luck that's probably what I'd end up with. You know how much I loved A Clockwork Orange when I read it lately. There was that moment when Alex, at the top of his great suffering, decided to jump from the window and kill himself, and he jumped but it didn't kill him (though you can imagine what would that do to your body). I especially felt bad for him at that moment cause I could see it happening to me sometime somehow :/

I figure we are all going to die, right??? So let's just do what we want to do in our life (to a degree). Find your passion (as I am trying) and pursue it with vigour.....If you fail post and we will encourage you Bat up again.... And around and around it goes....Never give in..... Write you stupid song, screenplay, math formula, and general contribution..... And look out, you may follow Seth Rogen and be on Letterman In a week or so....Just look at Bieber...... My point being that there are endless possibilities for all of us.... So just hang in there..........

I just wondered... having seen the Law of Attraction movie and things like that...
When we think to ourselves "I want to die" over and over again, are we actually losing the life (liveliness) in us? It seems to me there's a constant battle between thoughts of wanting to die and the natural urge to live. And the tug of war goes on, either this way or that, and we remain almost at the same place we were years ago.
I just thought, what if instead of wanting to die we think "I want my troubles to end"? It's the same thing, isn't it? when we say we want to die, all we want is our troubles to end. So would this change of words release the rope from one end and the life side wins? I know it's too too philosophical and I may not even be able to walk my talk. But it was a nice thought and it made me feel better. I hope this state remains for a while

I feel like crap, but I don't want to die...
It's a shame that people feel that they want to die... Life is precious and anything can happen... Believe in it!

The trouble I have avoiding my own demise is that when I am contemplating something that drastic I am not in my competent mind. When instinct, selfishness, self pity, and my own ego cannot save me anymore I will not be talking to anyone. I think fate has me in its hands then.
Though, it is necessary to be truthful with yourself about reality and perhaps give yourself good inner dialogue from time to time. Its good to be proactive.

I don't want to die, but if I found out tomorrow I had a terminal illness I wouldn't be one of those people pulling at their hair, wailing, and screaming "Oh God why me!!!???". I'm going to die one day, and when it happens it happens.
To be honest, I'd rather bow out just after I've hit my prime. Withering away slowly in old age is far more scary to me than dying itself.

I agree with you. It's a better rephrasing. Kind of how I fell into painting. I wanted to paint a happier world...

Lately I've thought that dying would be an easy way to escape the stresses and boringness of every-day life. Right now I don't really see all that much that really makes me wanna stay alive. But I figure I still have like 80 years of life left so I'm just gonna keep trying to be the person I want to be and find reasons to live. So I put "no" I don't want to die yet.
