If you die there is no chance at things getting better in your life here.
If you are alive even if that chance is small there is a chance at things getting better.
No one knows what happens when you die, things could get worse after death and in that case suicide is not a solution but rather a next step towards something even worse.
Given that it is currently impossible (as far as I know) to know what happens at death, the decision to suicide is an uninformed decision of tremendous magnitude.
If by killing yourself things get worse, what would be the next step?
Would you be in a better position to turn things around in the afterlife (assuming that there is one) or now in this life?
In summary, the reason why you should not kill yourself is because you do not know what will be the result of that action your death: your death is not a guaranteed solution to anything.
Who is going to change the smoke alarm battery?
Id rather die for something bigger than me and my mental anguish if im gonna knowingly off myself.
Ive lived through too much shit to make the weakness of the day take me out.
But I’ll go when I wanna go too. But it’ll be me saying “my time here is done” not in pain but acceptance and peace. Not despair.
Can’t let that shit win.
You can’t piss off the haters if you’re dead.

You might mess up the attempt and end up worse off than you are now
Religion might be right and you end up in the bad place
Religion might be right and you end up in the bad place
With modern life being as it is, we would be screwed either way in most religions. Everyone is probably breaking at least a couple of dozen rules in every religion.
Even if you just need to follow a central “be kind”-rule - how kind is it to buy stuff on Amazon, packed and delivered by wage slaves, which was imported from China (which may include child or slave labour) [or some US states for that matter] while also hurting the environment in the process.
There is no ethical consumption under capitalism. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.
Literally the entire plot of The Good Place
If anyone still haven’t watched it, they should.
BORTLES! 🍾🔥
Such a good series, but I deliberately didn’t mention it here as not to spoil too much😅
Losing someone to suicide sucks. I’m willing to bet there is at least one person in your life who would be sad (or perhaps devastated) if you suddenly died. Even if it means continuing on while unhappy, don’t put that person through such an ordeal.
Depression is a temporary condition. It feels like it’ll last forever and that life can never go back to the way it was, but that’s not true. It might change you, and that change might be for the worse, but you can escape it. You can. It’s hard, but it’ll be worth once you’re on the other side.
Start by seeking professional help. There are affordable (and, depending on your area, perhaps free) options out there. Then, change how your mind thinks. Don’t let those thoughts rule you. Fight them! You can do it!
The fact that you immediately jumped to depression seems like you didn’t even think about the question.
There is literally no reason to live, we’ve made that all up. That’s not depression, that’s reality. Pushing fundamental questions into a pathological corner is condescending.
Call me crazy, but typically when someone asks for reasons to not kill themselves, depression is involved. Maybe OP was just starting conversation, but given the question and the increasing rate of people struggling with depression, I thought I’d offer my thoughts. I don’t believe this answer was condescending.
My mother would be truly devestated, and I don’t trust people to take care of my cat the way I want.
it’s gonna happen anyway without even trying, and in the meantime I can do a whole bunch of interesting drugs.
For me it’s new Silent Hill games. Also the hope that one day i’ll have friends and a partner. It might help if I left the house. Anyway, at the very least don’t give up before you’ve really tried. Maybe I’m projecting but I hope this helps. Please don’t kill yourself if you’re thinking about it.
5meoDMT. Do it first then decide.
I honestly wouldn’t even know where to start with accessing DMT. I’m not OP and I’m not suicidal but I mean, where would I even start?
In my country it can be found via search engine pretty easily. Just search it with your country name, maybe search on reddit if you’re struggling .
This but good ol fashion LSD and mushrooms
Also get in (at least something close to) your peak shape and be lusty at least for awhile before you die. It’s a trip.
The endorphins alone are worth it
Simple: death will come, it is a guarantee you get by being born. So, unless your life is hell (diseases can do that easily, including mental ones) and it clearly won’t end (or anyway not before you become broken beyond repair), why not see some life before it ends
A good cup of coffee.
