I guess because the fear of death outweighs the suffering caused by living another day.  Time really seems to be an illusion created by our brains anyway, so I figure what's another day. 

Then sometimes at the worst life can be there is a little glimmer of hope that things can get better, and that is enough to go on.

When I am really down I also think about my ancestors and all the people who have persevered before me long enough for me to get here.  I try to endure in case my suffering is a stepping stone to something better even if it is for someone else. 

Also to spite all the assholes who wouldn't want me to make it.  There's things I hate that I don't think I'll ever be able to overcome, but I still hate the idea of giving in more than I hate the things I hate, and I don't want to admit defeat.

I know I'm not alone.  I know there are others going through similar experiences, and I think me dying would only make it harder for the people who care about me.

Good music, good people, good times. The reason I haven't offed myself yet is because I just want to help all my brothers and sisters come up and make their lives as good as they can be and help them realize there's more to this life than pain. And of course to make music that will outlive my physical body and exist in perfection forever.

This has been a great thread so far. Brought some tears to my eyes at times. Even if no one's answers provide OP any solace, I'm glad he made the thread anyway.

I've always liked Nietzsche. To live is to suffer. We need to know how suffering feels so when you reach happiness you can really be mindful and enjoy those moments. There is meaning in suffering.

Your dog is damn cute by the way :awesomenod: Dogs really do help a lot with my depression as stupid as that probably sounds to people who don't have dogs in their life. They're just lil balls or pure positivity that just wanna spread love and happiness and unconditionally love you.

Yeah I am too much of an asshole to own a dog on my own though.  The thing would get neglected because I am selfish and depressed.  I love my family's and friend's dogs, but I think most people are too selfish for a dog and they shouldn't be used like a band-aid to fix our existential woes.

I probably shouldn't even have an ant farm at this point in my life.

Haha, that's definitely not what I was implying. They're not band aids, they're companions that are there for you no matter what the circumstances. I agree though that a lot of people really barely even see them as living beings and just treat them as accessories whenever it's convenient for them

That being said, I don't think I'm good enough with money to keep a dog of my own alive either. Love living with a roommate who has an adorable pup though :smile:

Good old depression. Quite the bitch isn't she? Always around the corner ready to sneak up on you at any moment and then you just can't shake it off.

The problem is in your head. Luckily for you OP, the brain has the uncanny ability to fix itself. But it takes and effort. That's where you're lucky again! You're depressed, you have nothing else to do right?

You have to focus, think hard, lift yourself up and think THIS ENDS NOW! and really fucking mean it. By that I mean, you stand the fuck up and you immediately do a chore you've put off and fucking do it. No giving up. Get it over with. Then you'll have a small feeling of satisfaction and the one of the biggest negative eliminated from your life. From there, you'll start feeling down again, you won't give a fuck about that small accomplishment, what's the point of it all right? That's generally where you feel all the energy drained out of you. But again, you hype yourself up. Jump up and down if you have too. Then go and do another fucking thing you hate. Complete it. You'll have that small feeling of satisfaction again and suddenly two shitty things out of your life.

From there your lifestyle and surrounding will have increased for the better. Use that to hype yourself again and again. Ignore the depression. No matter how fucking heavy it is. Even if you're in tears, DO SOMETHING. Distract yourself from it. Pretend it's not even there even if you feel it consuming you. Suddenly you'll get some energy back. Some momentum.

Generally depression sets itself in for like 20 minutes before you realize that all you're thinking about are negative things. The minute you realize that it's happening, snap yourself out of it. Talk to yourself if you have too. I got you motherfucker now get the hell out of my head!

Eventually you'll realize that you'll be depressed less frequently and that the depressing moment are not as bad as they were. Then you'll win!

Or take pills, whatever...

Gizmo was my first dog. I never thought  I would be so connected emotionally. No matter how bad your day is you can walk in the door and the dog is so happy to see you that it just flips the script to cheer you up. Sometimes I think about what it would be like if one of the dogs got hit by a car or something and it makes me cry. The loyalty and unconditional love they give is an amazing experience. I have had bad benders in the past where I was drinking too much whiskey and having  a pity party. Gizmo would come over and lick the tears off my face and comfort me. I refer to him as a healing pug.
