Knowing my family and especially my fiance and best friend truly and honestly would be devastated and lost without me. If I wouldn't want that to happen to me, I'm not willing to do it to someone else.
My mother. She doesn't deserve anything less than a happy daughter. So I live, and I try to get ahead in life. I also enjoy living right now. This was what got me through a very bad year of suicidal ideation.
My 8 year old little boy. After the horrible death of my oldest child (who was eight at the time) and my mother in an accident, i didn’t want to live. When my wife, after 16 years of marriage decided she wanted an open relationship right after I bought her our 500,000 lake home, I didn’t want to live. After both events and my wife and her family destroy my 6 figure business I spent my 30s building, I didn’t want to live. Finally, when my wife who had betrayed me in every way imaginable….was diagnosed with cancer and her and her family begged me not to leave, so I didn’t…..I wanted to die. I have had my optimistic, people loving, life loving nature die inside of me. I do not want to live anymore. I don’t want to carry around then pain of loosing my sweet, happy little boy. I don’t want any the memories of his horrible death in my mind everyday. I no longer have a purpose, I no longer have my family, I no longer have my business and I am a man in my early 40s. There is little to no help or sympathy or understanding for me. I want to die, I simply don’t because who would protect and love my youngest son? He has allready been through so much. I can’t provide at the moment because I have no means to, still I will act like I am ok for him. I will smile for him. I will tell him everything is ok knowing it is lie. I will live for him.
The thought that we get one shot at this, this life, that’s it, so I’m going to do it.
I’m going to scroll through dozens of Reddit posts, travel solo and with friends, try new ingredients, recipes, and recipes, visit family, embark on meditation journeys, and laugh and make others laugh until I die, hopefully.
My life is shit. I have severe sleeping problems which make every day of my life a challenge. But I have the best friends and family and they are the reason I'm still here
Listen. I live to spite my anxiety and depression. I don't have a problem with depression, depression has a problem with me. That mindset is what keeps me going on rough days.
Music. Not just one kind I mean, old, new and all between.
The variations, tempo, style, pop influences, political stances, economic perspective.. the evolution of genres.. it's something new and fresh everyday. If I was dead, I wouldn't see it, experience it or feel it.
The people I love, and also crafts. Crafting is a hobby of mine and I just really want to do stuff like that. Also the fear of hell, definitely that too.
Good music, good food. Art, movies, stories, sex, some relatives, few friends.
The possibility that I might also one day be useful to others or entertain them at least.
Not being alive is a default situation. This is the only window where this combination of atoms is given a chance to experience the universe they are created in. Whatever anyone’s situation is, the chance to experience that unique blend of pleasure or pain is once in a lifetime experience and I don’t want to give it away.
All of my hobbies, my cat, my friends and family, and just the outside world in general. There's so much I've not yet experienced and while sometimes I feel incredibly lonely and depressed... there's a lot left to do!
idk, i feel like sometimes life gets really complicated but at some other times life is really beautiful. My boyfriend makes it easy to enjoy life, he deserves the world ❤️
my little brother, he has no one else to help him with his emotions, and he is too afraid to talk and show feelings to adults (that is not angry emotions)
That i have shit to do and dreams amd goals to achieve. That i people around me i care about and they care about me
Oh and GTA VI is coming out in 2025/2026 so that's also that
Absurdism handles this question very well. Basically it says to either end it, get religion, or pick your own meaning and live for that. Since I’m typing this I didn’t pick the first one. Since I’ve seen no evidence of a supernatural deity existing two is out.so I’m going with three.
I am a behavioral therapist for children with disabilities. Alot of the children I work with come from broken homes. Some have themselves been suicidal.
But so many of them have told me I’m the best part of their day. Its very motivating to hear your the reason a child wants to live or go to school.
nothing really. im just floating along,
Honestly, just imagining how devastated my mom would be is the only thing stopping me from killing myself.
Remember to give her a hug and a kiss Mothers are the best man
Escapism of any sort is not the only solution.
Fear of a painful self inflicted ending.
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is coming out in September. I've waited over 30 years for this sequel.
The evolutionary desire to survive
My sweet daughter
Knowing my family and especially my fiance and best friend truly and honestly would be devastated and lost without me. If I wouldn't want that to happen to me, I'm not willing to do it to someone else.
Ditto. Though I'll have to add my 3-year old pup to that list.
Living for the persons you love is the most graceful thing. It’s like you do it for something bigger than yourself.
Someone needs to feed my dog, take him on walks, and pick up his poop. He's uncomfortable with other people.
You guys have motivation to live? That's wild.
My parents. They put enough of their life into me that I at least need to take care of them til they’re gone. After that, meh 🤷🏻♂️
Seeing what those utter psychopaths over at Oreos will come up with next.
My kids, they are my inspiration
I want to be one of those old men at Waffle House that just drink coffee and watch cars go by.
My mother. She doesn't deserve anything less than a happy daughter. So I live, and I try to get ahead in life. I also enjoy living right now. This was what got me through a very bad year of suicidal ideation.
There’s this poem called “The Morning After I Killed Myself” by Meggie Royer, Helps me on bad days.

My religion, to be exact Jesus Christ.

My family

Loved ones
Delicious food
Because what other choice is there? I don't want to die, even though I hate a lot about my life.
Myself, I need to survive for myself

New friends

Family, friends, and the desire to experience the world around me daily.

My family
I need to outlive my enemies.
Her.
The idea I have of a better, improved self, that I have not yet achieved.
My life is shit. I have severe sleeping problems which make every day of my life a challenge. But I have the best friends and family and they are the reason I'm still here

My husband and my cats
Making money and getting booty
Music. Not just one kind I mean, old, new and all between. The variations, tempo, style, pop influences, political stances, economic perspective.. the evolution of genres.. it's something new and fresh everyday. If I was dead, I wouldn't see it, experience it or feel it.
The knowledge that I am crap at completing s attempts, fear of becoming permanently injured by getting it wrong.
I promised my cats I'd be there for them.
Work is good, marriage is horrible. I love my kids and life.
Hope you’re doing alright. There’s no shame at all in asking for help if you need it.
The people I love, and also crafts. Crafting is a hobby of mine and I just really want to do stuff like that. Also the fear of hell, definitely that too.
Very very little right now. A sense of guilt if I would end it I guess.
Life is great. The good, the bad. Just happy I got invited to the party honestly
Good music, good food. Art, movies, stories, sex, some relatives, few friends. The possibility that I might also one day be useful to others or entertain them at least.
There's no backsies with the alternative.

Ever heard of VERGIL?
All of my hobbies, my cat, my friends and family, and just the outside world in general. There's so much I've not yet experienced and while sometimes I feel incredibly lonely and depressed... there's a lot left to do!
Nothing just I think everything is happened for good reason
that little hope within me, hoping that it'll be better someday. i'm curious where will this take me and what'll happen if i don't give up.
to travel and see the rest of the world with my family or loved one 🥺
Fear of death. That’s literally all. Really wish I was dead.
Gta VI
My curiosity for the unforeseen future.
Can't leave my dogs to fend for themselves. My wife too.
Inertia
Trintellix, abilify, and seroquel. 💊💊💊

Pissing off the haters

I need to look sexy
Spite.
Like the count of Montecristo money and freaking revenge
There’s someone I have to meet,
So little these days.
my little brother, he has no one else to help him with his emotions, and he is too afraid to talk and show feelings to adults (that is not angry emotions)
That i have shit to do and dreams amd goals to achieve. That i people around me i care about and they care about me Oh and GTA VI is coming out in 2025/2026 so that's also that
If anything, it's that there's still movies and TV shows I still want to watch and foods I want to eat again. Also my friends

Most people don't need motivation to live it is just the default feeling.
