I am, I went through quite a few psychologists and psychiatrists and have times I don't care about some "reason to stay alive" and times I desperately...
To summarize and maybe do my last post in this thread, not to spam it, I would say: That this all started some 10 years ago, when I got a bit into phi...
How so? I genuinely would like to know more. There's a difference for me, I guess. These thoughts come across (or at least i feel like that) as the mo...
I really don't want this thread to be about some sort of self-help. I just can't get the idea of 'It’s always better to cease to exist' out of my head...
I stopped and no longer do. Somehow I just can't get the headline of the cited article out of my own head - Why is it always better to cease to exist....
I don’t really know. I’ve tried CBT with and without meds (like 10 different meds so far), I’ve seen a total of 5 psychologists and now with a 3rd psy...
He did respond in the other thread about antinatalism: And actually, that's how I live, or at least I've tried to achieve this mindstate. I'm already ...
I'm reposting part of my question from another thread here, since it was one of the questions that "started" this thread. I still cannot answer myself...
Thank you all for your replies and advice. I'm sure some of you find these posts tiresome, maybe some of the members think this is trolling (which it ...
The only reason I am alive now is that I don't want to hurt people around me. However, my mind keeps telling me there is no rational reason to live. I...
Well, the thing is, I should be having the time of my life. Compared to the lives of most people, mine would be an easier one. I have a job, enough mo...
I'm not afraid of death. I am well aware that the process of dying might be painful; hence, suicide is perhaps not an easy decision to make (thing to ...
Well I did and still do, but with no help… really nobody understands my thinking or why I think this way. But talking philosophically - what are the r...
Some months have gone by, and I still feel haunted by my thoughts, thinking the only reason I continue to live (for now) is the fear of death. That se...
thanks for the reply. I guess what I’m most struggling with is with answering to myself (ideally rationally) why not suicide (e.g. Mainlander)? What i...
Just stumbled upon this thread (and few others of niki wonoto) and I can say that I go through the same feelings… I often go through whole day constan...
and where can it be done? also why not suicide? and what is the way to live for an atheist, if not hedonism? or can I be suicidal and not depressed? j...
hmm do I understand correctly? If I find life meaningless and futile and there’s really nothing wrong with the person (physically or mentally), they s...
I don’t think I ever considered myself anti-life, but lately I don’t know… How do I find meaning in meaningless universe? How to answer question to be...
Well, I would say that I have quite a lot of things I enjoy, but at the end of the day I still question myself whether it´s all worth it. I love my fa...
Well I’m in my early thirties, and i’m really looking for a compelling reason/argument to live (and how to live) that would at least work for me. Suic...
but let's say until my death life will be filled with nothing but joy and good times... then I still die, so what was the point :/? I can take medicat...
I'm really confused what to do..don't want to seem desperate, but I don't see a reason (now) why I should go on. It just makes sense - life will end i...
so is suicide thing to do,rational? (because life ends in death) or should I seek treatment for suicidal ideations and wait for death to come by itsel...
Past three days I've been feeling more suicidal than ever. The irony is, that because I stared feeling better I decided to finally go on vacation and ...
These are exactly threads that make me confused. I deal with thoughts of Why go on living? and everytime I decide there's no point not to go on, here ...
I have been dealing with thought like why life? why continue? why not suicide? for a long time, and that's when I discovered the old PF forum and then...
but how can I achieve this mindstate? I want to believe this. What I really want is to be able to accept that I am here and just live life. Deep insid...
but why go on living? what is the rational reason? I just don't see one. Why isn't suicide rational response? If life is full of suffering why continu...
Ok so I tried to do something about my feelings, after consulting my psychiatrist, I stopped taking medication I was prescribed after assessing that i...
Well, I was never really into philosophy, I was researching something completely different and found out about pessimism and antinatalism. After readi...
About depression... I have some questions. For the past 2 years I just don't feel good, and it started when I started philosophy. Learning about philo...
