can everyone chime in on this please???// reasons to stay alive

Why die when you can live and witness the beauty of the earth?

To help others

@koyissues1999 Do you like music? Think about your favorite band's next album! Their next concert! You can't leave knowing there will be hundreds of albums released by them after you... Stay and live to listen

Something that always makes me feel okay is when cats or other small animals snuggle up to me or play around me

These are my philosophies for staying alive:

We must stay alive(as much as our lifetime) to find out the intricate mysteries behind life itself, especially mysteries surrounding the world(in and beyond the physical three dimensions) - after all why are we all curious?

We're all born without any reason and it's our duty to find ourselves a good one, we're all worthy of doing anything any human has ever defined, people claiming we're not worthy isn't right from a logical viewpoint - how can someone who has knows nothing about us claim we cannot do something, or are not good enough?(It's logically equivalent to an ignorant claiming the Sun to be useless!)

Belief is magic!, In order to make the first step, we must believe, let me remind you, we don't need a reason to believe(has anyone given us any reason to believe in numbers?, Do they really exist? or are they a construct by the human thoughts? nobody can "answer" it, but everybody can believe it, and look how this belief influenced technology!)

Remember, Everything people say Is an Opinion, (all of the above are opinions too), Opinions work only when we experience a "mental click" on listening to it, so listen to the "click".

Life is neutral, our beliefs bias us to the positive, and the negative, and we're free to adopt any beliefs, even change them over time just to adjust the bias.

We cannot make everyone to like us, they have their own beliefs(yes mind you, beliefs and pre-conceived notions), we're all Beautiful in our own way and right,(beauty is Beauty there is no such things as better beauty and worse beauty), clearly likes and dislikes are absurd and childish, There definitely are people who'll love you (not to be confused with like, the difference - love includes acceptance, but liking does not), It's as they say "good people are found on the corners of this world"(believe that there are corners for this world)

And finally, I make no attempts to enforce my beliefs on you, remember you are free to define yourself and adopt new beliefs, you can think of them as directions to start with(I have made them as general as possible).

Hope these motivate you

Regards

All those people who love me, even if they're a few, but I can't imagine them crying and facing another cause of eternel sadness because of me.

Sometimes I say hell so I have to find other causes to stay alive.

If you are having hard time to hold onto life right now reason to stay alive is that you will find a reason to stay alive if you hold on a bit longer.

besides life is always created to be lived and suicide is not a solution or a second choice it's just an escape and withdrawal. That makes you lose every coming chance of ever having a better life.

if you waited your whole life and never felt a moment of peace or joy or happiness its better than giving up doubting you have destroyed all your chances of ever being happy.

My go to when I feel like this is usually my dog. She literally depends on me to feed her and give her a home. She NEEDS me to stick around.

But this could apply to any person in your life. Someone NEEDS you for something. My mom wouldn't have anyone to send her new art projects too. My brother's son wouldn't have an aunt. My friend wouldn't have someone to get oysters with every Tuesday. It doesn't have to be something big.
And sometimes I get these thoughts like "my friend could easily get oysters with someone else." but could she honestly do that after dealing with the grief of losing her friend? I know I couldn't.

I feel your pain and hope this helps, even a little bit! And thanks for posting this question because these answers are helping me.

@koyissues1999

Smelling the beautiful aroma of a freshly bloomed flower.

Seeing the rising and falling of the sun every day, and watching the colors in the sky change.

Finishing your favorite book, TV show, movie, etc.

Experiencing new and refreshing things whenever you get the chance.

Counting, and even naming, all the stars.

Trying to find new shapes in the clouds as they pass.

Discovering the love of your life, no matter how long it takes.

Being able to tell yourself that you lived another day and you can continue doing that, because you are strong.

Reasons to live:

you are beautiful even when you don't feel it. The world would be worse without your existence. Suicide is so serious, it doesn't end the pain it just creates more. Recovering is possible. 2 years ago I was on this app, tried committing suicide, almost succeeded, got sent to a mental institution and 2 years later, after dealing with depression since 2009, i slowly started to recover and pick myself up. It is hard, to say the least, but the happiness you feel once you recover is completely worth it. Please choose to keep pushing.
