Would you feel less suicidal if you could live on the moon or mars, miles away from any human?

[Leopard2023]

And you had the option of communicating with family/friends and bringing pets.

 

[EvisceratedJester]

Nope, not really. I mean, for one, I'd imagine that living on the moon or Mars would end up leading to a bunch of health issues since we evolved on Earth. Our bodies are made to handle the conditions and physics of our planet, not of Mars or the moon. There are also aspects that I would end up missing about Earth, such as nature. Along with that, being able to communicate with family and friends is not the same as being able to physically hang out with them.

Overall, living on Mars or on the moon would probably do more to increase my suicidality, tbh. I don't even like the idea of living outside of my country that much so the idea of living on Mars or on the moon definitely is not something that appeals to me.

No, I think the vast majority of people would experience severe aditional mental anguish from complete isolation. More importantly I'm curious as to why someone would believe their mental state would improve on Mars but not the Moon(or vice versa) lol

 

[sadalways]

Nope. Unless there were some funny friendly aliens to keep me company

 

[Jadeith]

No. Why? Because person i hate the most will still be there with me.

 

[Quietist]

I actually would fucking love to live on a space station like Sevastopol in Alien Isolation.

Living on the moon or Mars? I'm not sure.

 

[pthnrdnojvsc]

No. I will never want any kind of life / existence/ consciousness for me

Especially not on earth as a human never. But any other kind of life or existence is unacceptable to me

Only non-existence forever is the only absolute perfection

for example only in eternal non-existence is there a guarantee of never suffering extremely

 

[iLikeFrogs]

I think I wouldn't be better; it's like there's something fundamentally wrong with me, making me want to die no matter how hard I try to get better

 

[TheHolySword]

would it be easier to kill myself. like could i walk out of the station and just die. i would love that

 

[LigottiIsRight]

If I had to stay for a long time in any of them I'd be bored to death (pun intended). Earth's landscapes are much better.

 

[FadingSnowFake]

If I could live there, that would mean the conditions on Mars, or the moon have somehow changed for humans to be able to live there. If this is the case, then I would not know what it would be like to live there, and as such I can't say for sure whether or not I'd be less suicidal. However, my main reason for being suicidal is that I cannot be with the person I love. So, if I could still communicate with him, I might be able to have a better life than the one on Earth at present, provided the promise of a future together is still a possibility.

 

[FuneralCry]

No, as I just don't want to exist under any circumstances, existence itself is the true problem for me and as long as I exist I'll only hope for non-existence, permanently ceasing to exist is all I see as desirable. To be conscious in this existence is the most futile, torturous burden to me, I just see existence as so unnecessary as well, more than anything I wish I never suffered at all, to me existence will always feel like a mistake, I'm always so tired of being burdened with this existence.

 

[ShatteredSerenity]

Absolutely not, one of the main reasons I want to die is loneliness and becoming even more isolated would only make it worse.

 

[Manola]

No. I would prefer that life to the one I have now, but not enough to make me want to live.

 

[ForeverCaHa]

Honestly, no. My problems are all in my mind. No matter where I am, this head of mine comes with me, so I wouldn't be fixed

 

[katara]

Absolutely not, one of the main reasons I want to die is loneliness and becoming even more isolated would only make it worse.

I'm torn bc I feel this but also I've been alone for so long I feel like maybe I'd be better off just giving up on people and the idea of having friends
