I asked my friend about the title aspect of this post. I just want to know what happens to the rest of the world, if I give up and take myself out.
I'll be gone yes, but what will it do to the world?
Who will truly be impacted by my loss?
Why don't I just give up on myself, and get past the grief and the pain I a feeling constantly?
I don't need to know if I'll be remembered, but I do want to know why I give much care to those who will care when I do die. Why is it important for anyone to think they need to be remembered when they have left this life?
So, I fall back on the title question.
What if I just give up, and end this stuff, right now?

Are you safe right now? Is this a hypothetical question ? Please call 988 if you are in danger of hurting yourself.
To answer your question.... do you have a family? You mention at least one friend on your post. Don't you think they would miss you?
Sometimes we never know what type of impact we have made on someone else's life.
You served in the military. You have impacted many lives. I don't know you at all but you have impacted my life by fighting for our country and freedom.
Do you have people that tell you they care about you right now? Those are the people that will miss you and spend years remembering you.
I'm not sure if my reply is what you were looking for. I don't have any philosophy to write. I just know how hard it is to lose loved ones.
I'm sending you peace. I hope you realize your worth and continue to push through the difficult times
I'm safe, relatively speaking. I have a rather large family, but they haven't been here for me. My wife dies=d, and a few of them came here, and rushed through an approximately 6 hour splash-and-dash visit. Nothing since then. Not even phone calls. I'm worn down and damned near worn out!
I know how you feel. I am also a senior (70) and totally alone. I would be lying if I said that I didn't think about suicide on a daily basis. And I really don't have anyone who would give a damn, except perhaps some of the people on this site. There are some days where like you, I am totally worn out both physically and emotionally, and my future doesn't look bright. Somehow I still have a sliver of hope that things will improve and I hold onto that and pray a lot. And each day I keep trying to make things better, until I can't.
Please know that I understand, along with many people here and you're not alone.
Please stop telling people to call 988. As I mentioned in a prior post, I had a very bad experience with them and they threatened to call the police and have me taken to Emergency Services. That is the worst posible to be! I know, because it happened to me. And the experience lasted 18 hours and did more harm than good. People are better off talking to a therapist or coming here and posting. Please!!!
Like I just said, I was just giving informed advice. Yes calling 988 is an option but people should be aware of what possible consequences will be if they sound like they’re going to harm themselves. That’s all.
dolphin was only trying to be helpful i don`t see you mention bad experiences in previous posts maybe it was from the old account unless i missed what you said.
yes, it was probably posted under my first username which was still standing 53. The experience I had with 988 was really horrible and many people replied saying that they also had a negative experience with them. I’m not saying that dolphin meant any harm at all. I know she didn’t. I was just trying to give some good and informed advice.
Just the fact that we are answering you, should hopefully make you realise that your loss would impact a lot of people, never mind the good you have done in your life.
I have to admit to feeling the way you do now, but that was 40 years ago….You have to push through it my friend, May I offer my respects to you for serving your country in the military, as one Veteran to another. Get on YouTube, look for your favourite music/songs…..put it on and play it loud, music got me through it, and I hope you can do it too…. I have a medical condition with no known cure, but I’m living my life as best I can.
My brother-in-arms, I thank you for your response.
I was a professional musician until an accident removed my ability to use my arm happened 16 years ago. Music is such a huge part of my life that I can't begin to make its place make sense to anyone else!
I can't say that I'll never go back to the 'event horizon" stage again, but I do know that I'm living beyond the pitiful deal that i faced that night. It was triggered by a seemingly benign and typical move. I was putting a new pot on the shelf.
