I had a revelation that led to a shift in personality about a month ago, and I've been at peace ever since. Thought I might share it with you guys.
I had tapered off my meds as an experiment to see how I would do. I soon found myself in the lowest depression I've ever had, and I was suicidal. I went back on the meds and I'm back to my former mood. It got me pondering.
I came to the conclusion that the normie thinking about suicide is completely backwards. Suicide isn't for cowards. It's for people who are in such pain that they are able to overcome the innate drive for self-preservation.
There are many states of being that are worse than being dead. In fact, here is my insane conclusion. EVERY STATE OF BEING IS WORSE THAN BEING DEAD. It's just that nobody has the guts to do it themselves.
Think about it, if you don't have the guts to kill yourself, but death is better than life, then what should you do? Well, you should live a stable life until you die in a way that you can't prevent. That's "ambition". That's "the good life".
That's all it is. But it's fine. It feels better when you stop being delusional.

How old are you?
What do you do for a living?
What do you know?
What have you been through?
I've been through something similar very recently, went from being suicidal on and off for some months to being "at peace", I was never on meds though, many close people suggested meds but I always refused
My thinking on death itself and it's meaning wasn't that long, it was more about figuring out why I was truly hurt by some situations, it can be difficult to dig out the truth out of your own soul since in this society everyone is an "expert" on psycology and you end up really fucking confused and depressed from all the bullshit

Permanent solution to temporary problem anon.

Yes, and the temporary problem is called "being alive", and it always gets solved eventually.
This is the delusion: that all your problems can be solved. Life is just a series of problems. You never stop having to go through trauma to cope with new problems.
What do we really want? Death. But it's harder to get than we would like.
>Many states of being are worse than being dead
No that's just Idaho anon
How old are you, 14? I figured this out ages ago. In fact, its a philosophical argument based around pain and pleasure.
Absence of pain always good. Absence of pleasure is always neutral. Therefore, not existing is better than existing, as you will never experience pain.
The normie attitude that suicide is for "cowards" is just a lame emotional argument to try to convince you not to kill yourself, they genuinely think they can shame you into staying alive. It's like many Christians spread the idea that suicide is a "sin" - you have to wonder, are these people actually that concerned with the wellbeing of someone considering suicide, or are they just throwing bullshit out there to avoid being the family whose son suicided.
>EVERY STATE OF BEING IS WORSE THAN BEING DEAD.
--Quote from Ecclesiastes--
Then I looked again at all the acts of oppression which were being done under the sun. And behold I saw the tears of the oppressed and that they had no one to comfort them; and on the side of their oppressors was power, but they had no one to comfort them. So I congratulated the dead who are already dead more than the living who are still living. But better off than both of them is the one who has never existed, who has never seen the evil activity that is done under the sun.
--Quote from Ecclesiastes--
But seriously, many states are terrible and you'd be better off dead... but if I'm functional and have hope, and I'm not in too much physical pain, I'm glad to be alive.

>Go to school for FREE
>Get FREE college (assuming you'll put in the work to get good grades)
>Get job
>Get money
If your depression isn't solved by now you have no reason to live because you don't enjoy nice things like having money.
What's your problem with life? Everything is bliss and comedy when you choose not to have hallucinations of how it should be.
