I know that there is help available and all that bullshit, but I want to know if there is a legitimate threshold when it is okay to kill yourself. When is it okay to give up and face the fact that a bullet in your skull will gain more traction than your wellbeing ever will? When is it okay to drop from a society that continually endeavors to divide? Is there ever a point where I have no excuse for not killing myself, and struggling would make things worse? What do philosophers or psychologists say about this?
I don’t know if any of these epithets help but as someone who has lived with acute depressive disorder for most of my life but who has also never had suicidal tendencies these make up the core of my ideals on the matter. I’m also a non-religious anti-thiest.
Survival is a winners game; game’s not over til you’ve lost.
Suicide is for cowards. You don’t fix any issues, you just shirk responsibility.
You’re the last in a genetic lineage that extends back to the creation of life itself, who are you to destroy that willingly?
Shit happens. Deal with it.
Mental health can be managed, the only time quitting the game becomes a legitimate strategy is when your physical health prevents you from acting.
Intrusive thoughts are just thoughts, they aren’t separate from you, they aren’t encroaching on your life, stop being scared of your own imagination, it’s a hologram of your own making.
Fear is bred of ignorance, if you’re scared of yourself you don’t know yourself.
Belligerence is a survival tactic. Be belligerent, say no. If someone wants to take your life, even yourself, make them fight for it. It might not seem like it’s worth much, but it’s the only value you have.
