What stops you from killing your self?

Answer 1

I realize that I earn more money than anyone I know.
That makes me happy.

Answer 2

Yes, this has finally come up. I should face it now, am I strong enough? Yes, I think I am. Well then, it's all the tomorrows and the possibilities that could bring. It's hope in the face of certain defeat, unreasonable eternal hope. Stubborn over riding desire to live, in spite of the crushing defeats, the endless humiliations, the pain and deceit that must be endured. Hope that a better day will come, that maybe there is a chance; some one might care for me some where some day. It's never over if you refuse to give in, and victory can be snatched in the darkest corner at the latest hour. I never give up, I'll never give in; it's all I've got; just me; and I'd like to see how it all turns out in the end. Thank you, I feel like I have a better understanding of myself.

Answer 3

I think there can be a lot of reasons...

Sometimes it may be a fear of the pain of death or the finality of death. Maybe it can be a fear of making a "horrible" mistake and things aren't really as bad as they seem. A lot of things like this can go through a person's head at such a moment. After all is said and done we can only answer these types of questions for ourselves. It leaves a person to face the very deepest sense of self or ego.

Perhaps at the very last moment you realize that your life does have meaning or you have a valid reason to be here. Maybe this could be as simple as continuing to experience life and not wanting it to end in case there could be something good to come along. What if it's depression and you come to realize that things may not be as bad as they seem and if so maybe you have been through worse and it could be worth it to just get through one more day.

If it comes down to just one more day or hour or minute, maybe you can stack these one on top the other (e.g. one more day, one more day, one more day, etc.) and somehow the situation changes and a person comes to realize that life is still worth living.

Good luck!

Answer 4

A straight jacket should work nicely.

Seriuosly though, I really think that you are not going to find the help you need on Yahoo Answers.

I will tell you that I believe in the Kingdom of Heaven and I believe that my actions in this world have consequence in the next, and I believe that the madness of social scenes, tv, images of glamor and fame, money, etc. etc. etc. are a torment to the soul of man, and a bondage that brings him into slavery to childlike lusts from which he cannot escape without the power of God.

I never have any impulse to kill myself, because there is nothing out there in the world that I perceive as so desirable that I feel frustration for the not having of it.

Answer 5

If you ever seen the family of someone who killed themselves then you would know the answer to your question.It is the most selfish thing anyone could do,its a cowards way out and never the answer to any problem ;no matter how big that problem appears to be at the time !

Answer 6

The same fear that keeps me alive is the same fear that makes me want to die.

I don't know if I will exist past the life of my physical body and this freaks me out beyond what any thought should.

Since I don't know, I half hate life, and half want it to go on forever.

I figure it balances out and makes me a pretty well-rounded person.

Don't know though, I might just be a little crazy.

This is really proof that Philosophers are cursed men.

Answer 7

Spiritually and morally wrong to kill whether it is yourself or someone else. Spiritually it is against the law of every religion to do it. Going to 'hell' is the greatest fear of all. Most people has the 'love' instinct towards self and self is the most important.

Answer 8

I Have Nerver Thought Of Doing That But.Wouldnt Your Family And Friends Miss You?

Answer 9

There are days when I honestly don't know. People who are really suicidal don't really want to die, they want to stop hurting. Whether it is physical, mental, emotional or psychological pain it is very real and it hurts more than many can imagine.

I suppose I just decide to deal with the pain one more day. The time may come when I decided differently, I hope those close to me can understand.

Answer 10

Well the certain knowledge that I will somehow screw it up and end up paralyzed from my head down and then really want to end it all and not be able to.
Okay that was sorta a joke. I'd never do it because it would devastate my family and its that worst thing you can do to the people you care about.

Answer 11

The fact that I have a wonderful 4 year old daughter who is so beautiful. And I don't want to go to hell because I want to be there for my daughter in the after life if possible.
