Why Self Delete?

[Alyx Vance]

I've tried Self Delete about 5 times in my life.
Its caused by large amounts of depression and then just losing any hope for life to get better.

I wanted to kill myself 2 years ago.

Two things stopped me, the first being a post on this forum.  Someone said, "Self Delete is basically giving up, and letting them win."  And that really stuck with me.  The only thing I could think after reading that was that I wasn't going to let them win.

The second was Weezer's Blue album.  :P

ultimately, it's almost, almost impossible for someone without a severe mental disorder or severe depression to contemplate reasons for Self Delete. you can say you've been there, etc. etc., but for many people who truly consider it, they're not thinking anywhere close to rationally, logically, they're only looking for an out, and what better out than a permanent, *to them* after-math free one. most people who say "i'd kill myself but -blank-" aren't truly contemplating it.

Life and death are of a somewhat equal value to me. However, I do have a will to continue living. People are scared of death because they don't know what lies within it. They know what life is like and prefer to stay in a place they're familiar with. For example, if you had the choice to continue living in your own home or move into a place that could range anywhere from bad to good, most people would choose to stay in their home because they are content with it or don't want to go somewhere that they have absolutely no clue what it is like. To be honest, if I knew was going to die within the week I wouldn't be all that sad. Yeah, I would miss all of my friends and family but I'd then finally see what happens after life comes to an end.

Also another reason I can't Self Delete is:
I'm the only one who can continue the family tree.

Been down that path, then realize living is better.

I have Severe Depression, but am against Self Delete. But I understand it. Its usually related to loneliness or separation. You would do it when you feel that no one cares if you were gone. Not "so people feel bad for you".
