What would I be missing out on if I committed suicide?

Question

What's the ....... point?

Lovely. I would be missing out on "life".....loneliness, hopelessness, stress and all those good things.

God is a manmade fantasy.

Give me those "other" people's looks and I am sure I would be able to live their lives. Then I wouldn't be here.

Answer 1

You wouldn't be able to ask qustions like this and have people care enough about a stranger to answer.

Ask for help - call a friend, a help line or someone you can talk to. :)

Answer 2

Has anyone yet addressed what you would be taking away from your friends and family if you perpetrated this selfish act? I can tell you, from experience if you'd like. My seventeen year old genius nephew put a gun in his mouth. He didn't flinch. His fourteen year old sister found him. He had not reached out to any of us. That was seventeen years ago and I am still so angry at that little s**t that I could just scream.

The only good that has ever come out of it is that I, having seen both sides, have vowed never to do it or attempt it again.

As to what you would be missing? My nephew was a game playing boy. His favorite was Mortal Kombat. A few months after he died they came out with a Mortal Kombat movie. I'm sure he would have liked it. At this point, he's missing out on his baby brother growing up, and his little neice and nephew came too late to know their Uncle Dave.

What are your reasons for wanting out? You are apparently in some pain. Is there anything that you can do to change what is making you depressed?

The strategy that has held me up in the past is "Just try to go one more day - the pills will still be there tomorrow and I can do it then if it isn't any better. Eventually I flushed them all.

I'd also suggest some form of counselling. Gov't Health Dept. will usually offer a sliding scale fee. Get someone to make an appointment if it overwhelms you. You may just need a three day vacation on the ward. Who knows?

Answer 3

I don't know you personally, so I can't say exactly what you'd be missing out on, but it's more than you might think.

Maybe it's the chance to make someone smile and forget their own worries, even for a single second. Maybe it's finally seeing your little brother get married. Maybe it's seeing the perfect sunset, or finishing your degree, or reading a good book, or saving someone's life, or deciding what to do with your own life, or any one of a million things that just might happen if you hang in there.

I just want to say that, although I don't know you, I'm hoping everything turns out okay. I was in a really bad place last year, but things sort of turned around when I realized that if I died I would never really know what might have happened, what I would have missed. The chance that it could be something great was just enough to make me stay. =)

Answer 4

The point is that God puts each of us here for a purpose and since He is the one who brought you in, He is the one who gets to take you out. That is non negotiable. Everybody has gifts that God has given to them. Some of us have talents that become obvious at an early age. Most of the rest of us have to struggle and try a lot of things before we get to "open" our gift. You just have to keep remembering "that nobody gets all the gifts" Not the captain of the football team , not the prom queen , not the kid next door, or even the rich kid in town with the new BMW. Everbody gets some good times , some terrible times and a lot of middle of the road stuff along the way. If you do the right things and keep looking for your "gifts" you will get surprised, I guarentee it . We are all put on this earth to help one another until we go back to the source of all love. You are as important in that picture as any of the rest of us here. We all have meaning and purpose in life and when you are old and look back on where you are now, and where you have been, you will understand that all the trials and grief made you a better person and just may have saved someone else who once walked in the same shoes you now wear.

Answer 5

Life is still beautiful...despite all the loneliness, sadness and other negative emotions. But you wouldn't agree on that. You are too depressed to see the beauty of life. Go visit youtube and watch baby laughing videos. It will surely cheer you up.

Talk to a friend, or you might need professional help.

If you committed suicide, the world goes on. But yours have ended. You would be missing out plenty of opportunities to laugh again, be happy, a second chance to correct your mistakes, making new friends who would love you and treat you so well, go to other places and have new experiences.

Life can be still beautiful you know. But you would never know that if you ended it.

Answer 7

You would be missing out on possibly meeting someone to share your life with and maybe some children, good friends you haven't even met yet. You sound very depressed so please, please, please get some help ASAP! I don't know where you are but look in the phone book for a hot line # to talk to someone and if you can't find one call a mental health place, yes they have someone to answer 24-7, call the hospital or go to the emergency room or call the police for some help. Suicide will hurt the ones who love you so much! I know, my best friend shot herself in the head. I didn't even know her problems seemed so overwhelming to her. I feel guilty about not knowing and doing nothing to help her.

Answer 8

I'm gonna say the obvious answer "You'll be missing out on life"

Because that is what about a dozen more people are going to say after me. And I guess its true.

But if you're thinking suicide, as I frequently do, you want more ironclad reasons. Reasons which i wish i could give you. But it would be impossible as I don't even know you.

Answer 9

ending own life will just make the person more miserable, it brings more suffering for eternity and nobody wants that right. God loves you so much that's why he gave you Life everyday. You know He is knocking into your heart, listen to His voice, let Him in your heart and make Him your Lord and Savior and everything will change in you. Try to meditate and seek Him, just talk to Him. Guard your heart and mind and don't be deceived by the enemy's voice. Godbless

Answer 10

There are plenty of things to look forward to. You need to start looking at life through long term as well. You may not have anything NOW but things will get better LATER

finding a love partner is something to look forward to
