[enigmática saudade]

"There is only one really serious philosophical problem, and that is suicide. Deciding whether or not life is worth living is to answer the fundamental question in philosophy. All other questions follow from that" – Albert Camus

 

[lovemelovemenot]

"To be, or not to be: that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep;
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to, 'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish'd."
- Hamlet (Shakespeare)

''No-one has ever thrown away a life that wasn't worth living''.

 

[xxsuicidalboyxx]

you can relate this to both suicide and self harm

roses are red
violets are blue
sugar is sweet
so are you
but the roses have wilted
the violets are dead
the sugar bowl is empty
and my wrists are stained red

[Rocksandsand]

I am not pro life by any measure, but the second time I attempted suicide and woke up in ICU, this poem resonated haha. Fuck surviving attempts. Such an awful feeling

Resumé - By Dorothy Parker

Razors pain you;
Rivers are damp;
Acids stain you;
And drugs cause cramp.
Guns aren't lawful;
Nooses give;
Gas smells awful;
You might as well live.

 

[Asta]

"The pain of life overrides the joy to the point that joy does not exist." Kevin Carter

 

[pennyworth]

Assisted suicide
She dreams about dying all the time
She told me she came so close
Filled up the bathtub and put on our first record

Saying: God, make me famous
If you can't just make it painless
Just make it painless

Arcade Fire, Creature Comfort

 

[Intelligent Ape]

She had a radiant face, like the morning sun on a thin sheet of ice. He was fond of her, but he did not love her, nor had he ever laid finger on her.
`I've heard you want to die,' she said.
`Yes - or rather, it's not so much that I want to die as that I'm tired of living.`
This dialogue led to vow to die together.
`It would be a Platonic suicide, I suppose,` she said.
`A Platonic double suicide.`
He was amazed at his own sangfroid.

- Ryūnosuke Akutagawa "The Life of a Stupid Man"

 

[DownInaHole]

"Death is for many of us the gate of hell;
but we are inside on the way out,
not outside on the way in."
~ George Bernard Shaw

 

[Asacschrader33]

When in some horrid and frightful dream we reach the highest pitch of terror, it awakens us, scattering all the monsters of the night. The same thing happens in the dream of life, when the greatest degree of terror compels us to break it off.
Arthur Schopenhauer

 

[Theon]

"Better an end with terror than a terror without end."

GREAT quote. Exactly what I'm feeling.

[medicinenightmares]

"And though your skin's sheet white
And your arms carry scars
Your hair isn't clean much
And your lungs' black with tar."

Keaton Hensen

 

[Pilum Muralis]

"A girl calls and asks, "Does it hurt very much to die?"
"Well, sweetheart," I tell her, "yes, but it hurts a lot more to keep living."
― Chuck Palahniuk, Survivor

Love me some Chuck! Favorite book is Invisible Monsters.

 

[Alchemist]

It is my destiny to live forever, though my survival will bring destruction to the human race. However, it is possible for me to be killed, and whether I live or die makes no great difference. In truth, death may be the only absolute freedom there is.

-Kaworu Nagisa

 

[JoeFailure]

Death isn't the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside of us while we live.

This is exactly how I feel. My light is gone. I used to be a happy, fun, carefree guy. He's gone now and I'm not sure he's ever coming back.

 

[Righttodie]

People fear death even more than pain. It's strange that they fear death. Life hurts a lot more than death. At the point of death, the pain is over. Yeah, I guess it is a friend.

Jim Morrison

Old age, calm, expanded, broad with the haughty breadth of the universe, old age flowing free with the delicious near-by freedom of death.

Edith Wharton

Death is nothing, but to live defeated and inglorious is to die daily.

Napoleon Bonaparte


I don't fear death so much as I fear its prologues: loneliness, decrepitude, pain, debilitation, depression, senility. After a few years of those, I imagine death presents like a holiday at the beach.

Mary Roach


The darkness of death is like the evening twilight; it makes all objects appear more lovely to the dying.

Jean Paul


Life was not a valuable gift, but death was. Life was a fever-dream made up of joys embittered by sorrows, pleasure poisoned by pain; a dream that was a nightmare-confusion of spasmodic and fleeting delights, ecstasies, exultations, happinesses, interspersed with long-drawn miseries, griefs, perils, horrors, disappointments, defeats,humiliations, and despairs--the heaviest curse devisable by divine ingenuity; but death was sweet, death was gentle, death was kind; death healed the bruised spirit and the broken heart, and gave them rest and forgetfulness; death was man's best friend; when man could endure life no longer, death came and set him free.

Mark Twain

 

[BipolarExpat]

"Depression is such a cruel punishment. There are no fevers, no rashes, no blood tests to send people scurrying in concern, just the slow erosion of self, as insidious as cancer. And like cancer, it is essentially a solitary experience; a room in hell with only your name on the door"

Martha Manning

The so-called 'psychotically depressed' person who tries to kill herself doesn't do so out of quote 'hopelessness' or any abstract conviction that life's assets and debits do not square. And surely not because death seems suddenly appealing.
The person in whom Its invisible agony reaches a certain unendurable level will kill herself the same way a trapped person will eventually jump from the window of a burning high-rise. Make no mistake about people who leap from burning windows.
Their terror of falling from a great height is still just as great as it would be for you or me standing speculatively at the same window just checking out the view; i.e. the fear of falling remains a constant. The variable here is the other terror, the fire's flames: when the flames get close enough, falling to death becomes the slightly less terrible of two terrors.
It's not desiring the fall; it's terror of the flames. And yet nobody down on the sidewalk, looking up and yelling 'Don't!' and 'Hang on!', can understand the jump.
Not really.
You'd have to have personally been trapped and felt flames to really understand a terror way beyond falling.

- David Foster Wallace

 

[faust]

My heart's so heavy,
My heart's so sore,
How can ever my heart
Be at peace any more?

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (Faust - Part I, 1808)

Not about a suicide, but Faust was ready to drink a poison.

 

[Brackenshire]

When does depression end
When it ends you
