Alright r9k,
I've been suffering from depression for a long time. And I wish I could kill myself. However, the reason I haven't is due to fear. I'm extremely scared of what lies on the other side. My biggest fear is of there being nothingness. Just oblivion, and the loss of self consciousness. That's the main thing that has been stopping me from doing it all these years. How do I get rid of this fear fellow robots?

isn't nothingness the most alluring aspect of suicide? the whole basis of your depression is due to consciousness and an overt sense of self awareness, surely by eliminating this you achieve complete bliss?
you're born again and become the same person...think about it.
I want too, but I would make so many people sad and they have to live with it. Thing is I'm waiting for time to heal me. Hopefully I'm good by the end of the year.

I don't know. I find the aspect of it scary. And being reborn or any sort of after life much more comforting.

Yeah. I'm not concerned about people caring I'm gone. Not that many would possibly even care. I'm just afraid for myself that's all. I have no problem with consequences in the world I'm leaving as I'll be gone. I'm just afraid of the aspect to what happens next
I was thinking about possibly seeking help but it hasn't helped in the past and I'm skeptical of it doing any good again. I just lack ambition for anything. I don't see a future for myself at all. My NEET days are numbered. I have no real talents or skills that can help me with my future. Nor do I have any people that care about me. It just doesn't seem worth it. I've been considering suicide for years now I just don't know how to get over that fear. I'm just so afraid of what lies ahead. I wish I could do it I really do.

I feel like you become the same person though...it's just weird itself that you are you. When I was 10 looking at the mirror I was like " woah i'm real, im me, im you, this is real, my perspective from my view is like this". Why are we here and why was I born?
There are so many variations and possibilities that could've happened in everyday life but those paths were chosen. I'm so curious as to what would've happened if I stayed in college playing baseball, if I joined the military, or if I found love in high school
I WANT TO KNOW

So you think you are just reborn again as yourself but you take another path in life?
Hey, I'll take nothingness over hell or being reborn as a cockroach or some shit. It'd be like a dreamless sleep that never ends.
>>35436483
yes. Think about what life is after death, what if you had no friends, who would you celebrate with? Why would it be endless in the afterlife if you had nothing before.
life is mysterious
I'd really like to believe anything. I envy the people who have faith in the afterlife. I wish I could make myself believe and maybe then I could go through with it. But I just can't make myself do it. I'm trying to get into Christianity. I'm trying to believe in God and an afterlife. Anything, so I could have some comfort I'm still gonna have consciousness. Anything would be better than oblivion in my eyes. Even hell.
>>35436562
Yeah. I think that too. Why were we born in the first place if our only purpose is to die? Why are we conscious. It just seems it can never be answered. I don't know how to deal with that

Thats what they say every year
why can't there be a turnoff switch after a certain amount of time or tragic thing that completely changes ur life
