Why should I stay alive

[Alpha1mit]

I'm dead inside already so why would I prolong the pain what would make me not want to die.

Why should you stay alive? Because you are only 18 years old.

All of Life isn't contained within 18 years. So much more to learn and

explore. What happened to make you feel so dead inside? We are here

to support you, to listen because we care. xx

I was like you. In the sense I was dead inside. Wanted to die. Thought about it everyday . Sometimes impulsively done some dumb shit because of it.

You just gotta find something you enjoy.

Which for me took a long time to figure out. Mostly cause I wasn't looking. I only looked at everything negatively to the point I kind of just hated everything. It's not the right way to go unless you plan on being a supervillain tho. Personally I think I'd prefer to be the anti hero.

But for real, for me I always liked stand up comedy. Cause I guess laughter was the best medicine. So for some reason I decided to start writing.

Just find something that will take your mind off negative things, keep busy with it. And rewire your brain to be more positive.

It was extremely hard for me to do that but now I will look for a positive in the worst situations. Somehow it works.

Because death is a one-way ticket. It sometimes seems like a sanctuary to escape the torture, but it also kills all the joy and happiness and all possibilities in the future. The excruciating pain may go away after some time, the wheel may turn and life may get better, but people can never come back from death to see that.

Another reason is because the pain will always pass. Speaking from my own experience, however bad or lonely it is, the pain always pass, just give it some time. It will probably come back though, I guess that's why professional help and consultation is needed for a cure. Anyway, like any disease, there's always a bad time and a better time. It's always too early to give up.

If U are seeing urself as an Alpha then why are U talking about taking ur own life ? I don't know if ur religious or not but in Catholicism if U take ur own life U never go to heaven & never see ur loved ones ever again. Its that what stopped me many years ago & I'm not even religious & I found 2 reasons to live & draw my strength from & that's my kids .

Now we here can all tell U many things HOWEVER its up to U to find ur reasons to carry on , only U are living ur life & so it can only be ur choice.

Because tomorrow could be different from today. Because life and how we experience it is never a constant. Everything changes, and that includes are outlook on life. Ups and downs are a part of life. We are all riding the waves.

You are assuming that your pain will remain. Unless you're psychic, I'm not sure how you could know that.
