Personally, sometimes I think there is a hidden trap door in my brain which has the answer - only I'm too frazzled to remember where I left the key.
but as you say, "not in all cases of course"! Actually there is something odd happening to my brain recently. I've had to tolerate a lot of extreme emotional stress and sleepless nights. Sleeping medication only helps so far and then it's up to me to create a calm place for my emotions. I notice that I'm becoming more accepting, as if my constant avoidance of trauma itself created relationship problems -with myself and with other people!! I like my body. I am more relaxed with other people. I'm not always sure what is my duty as a friend. Today I had a cultural problem knowing what was right to do, so being a friend involved reaching out authentically from guesswork. Friends make mistakes. __________________ *"Fierce <-> Reality"* oh god I am struggling today, help me to remember how to stay connected and human! remember: the nut shell against human predators and my own fear! |

The biggest reason for promoting life is our instinct of self preservation. That's something that I lack. I don't feel that I need to be here if I don't want to. My friend has a coworking that just lost her husband. He was bipolar and he took his life after a full year of being down. People were sad and upset he would do such a thing. When I have my bad bipolar moments I'd lose all connection to society and really don't care about anything. I totally understand when another bipolar person ends it. It's a challenge in its self to keep on going. Life is so mundane.
Message me sometime. Having conversations with someone that's going through the same issues over and over like yourself helps a lot. |

saidso, I'd have given a proper (and totally deserving) response to your post; however the exams are coming and I cannot spend much time online.
FriendlyJoe, I will make sure to message you when I am free. Much love to all. |

To me, the answer is NO. Life is not worth living. It's full of suffering. Some people see it, others understandably deny it because our brain has evolved to encourage survival by playing tricks and illusions.
If I had the choice, I wouldn't choose to come to this life. It was imposed on me. For this I blame my parents who were selfish to have me, and now that I am suffering with depression and struggling in life, they have abandoned me, and it's all my fault. I think what is frightening about suicide is not death, but the associated pain. At least this what scares me. If there was a medically-assisted suicide option that is supervised by medical professionals to ensure pain-free death, I would choose it. Disclaimer: I don't encourage suicide, but for me I would rather die than living. |

But hey, since that's not possible, we should try our best (obviously not easy but a classic advice regardless) and try to make our life fulfilling. |

I want to die everyday but if I was offered legally to take a pill that would end my life immediately I am not sure I would take it. There were plenty of times in my past I would have grabbed that pill out of their hands and popped it quickly into my mouth. Right now even though I am in pain and mentally suffering I am still making it through the day and getting things done.
It would be very comforting to know it was there as an option if I could not take this life anymore. That kind of takes pressure off. __________________ When a child’s emotional needs are not met and a child is repeatedly hurt and abused, this deeply and profoundly affects the child’s development. Wanting those unmet childhood needs in adulthood. Looking for safety, protection, being cherished and loved can often be normal unmet needs in childhood, and the survivor searches for these in other adults. This can be where survivors search for mother and father figures. Transference issues in counseling can occur and this is normal for childhood abuse survivors. |
