Knowing that I will die someday relieves me

[TimeToBiteTheDust]

The simple fact of knowing that I will die someday relieves me. Our existence is temporary. We are just passangers. Someday all this will be over. But sometimes I don't want to wait till that final day.

has to be by my own doing though..

With the current state of this world anyone who'd want to live forever is a masochist. This world is not my home, I'm just a passing through.

I don't want to wait for my "natural" death,and go through all of the pain,suffering,body breaking down,worry and heartache along the way.Its not like any of this means anything anyway,or anything that I do between now and then is going to be remembered long,or make some lasting impact...I just keeping taking it day by day.Kicking the can a little further down the road,I suppose.

 

[ScornedStoic]

Amen, absolutely.

Thats a good oldie right there! Been awhile since I heard it,I had forgotten about that song.Thanks for sharing.

I agree, it's one of the reasons I don't see life so negatively. I've had good times and bad times, now I'm experiencing neither, I'm just stuck in a meaningless limbo from where I can't switch to good again. If this were to go on for all eternity I'd consider that suffering. The reality though is I can leave anytime I want. And if life messes with me and I end up a vegetable I'd still die one day. Mortality is a gift. It's balance.

I just remembered a scene from the movie "Troy" when Achilles says that "Gods envy them because they could die".

Who wants to live forever?
There's no chance for us

 

[TheEndof]

I get what you're saying but honestly just thinking about it makes me upset. I want to go now. Not some time in the future. Not later. Now. And I'm angry that somehow despite engaging in risky behavior, not caring, and just wanting to die for years, I'm still here.

 

[LMLN]

I keep telling myself that someday I will die. Even if I'm never able to do it myself. How do I make it go by faster...
In my worst moments i imagine that I'm somehow being punished and will live to 120 without intervening myself.

I say the same every morning when i wake up ,im still here and got to get through anther day yet again .
When i go to bed i pray for a heart attack or just die in my sleep but no luck for me . wake up to struggle yet again .

I've been having panic attacks when I wake up in the morning for the same reason. I feel like I'm suffocating, dying. Unfortunately, I'm very much alive.

 

[faust]

Yes, and sometimes it makes me feel a little bit better knowing that I am in control of my death because it is going to be my decision.

 

[sadbunny]

oh right that's when the pain stops or begins

 

[deadinside6]

Same here.
I feel the same

 

[NotMeant2B]

Yes, that's the part that helps me keep my sanity. I'm relieved that I'm not stuck here for all eternity, not even a thousand years, not even close to that. But life makes it feel like it lasts forever, with the endless unnecessary and senseless suffering.
Some nights, when I can't sleep because I feel overwhelmed by life, the mere thought of the inevitability of death, that absolute peace, is what allows me to fall asleep and grants me an easy rest.

 

[Xena87]

I understand. I feel I and others like yourselves, feel this way because our earthly lives are pained and suffering is the existence for many of us. We wish for earthly death because we want so badly to be at peace and yearn for the hope of happiness in the next dimension.

 

[MsMaudlin]

Every morning I wake up and know that I'm a day closer to death.
Be it by my own hand or natural causes.
I take great comfort in that ❤

 

[George81]

I find it a comfort knowing that I always have the option to take my own life when things are very hard. It feels like a comfort, I know other people who aren't suicidal wouldn't understand the logic behind this way of thinking but I know you guys on here really do understand! It's a relief finding this site, I know there's other people who feel the same and it's acceptable to talk about methods without being judged.

 

[AlreadyGone]

I don't find comfort in it. I do not want to wait until I am 70 or 80 years old. That is a lot of years of suffering if things never improve. It will have to be by my own hands.

 

[soundsofsilence]

Totally agree.
I feel happier since I decided to do it when I want to and on my own terms.
