From Youtube a comment by Kenzie Grossenbacher:
Reasons why you should stay alive. 1. We would miss you. 2. It's not worth the regret. Either by yourself if you failed or just simply left scars, or the regret everyone else feels by not doing enough to help you. 3. It does get better. Believe it or not it will eventually get better. Sometimes you have to go through the storm to get to the rainbow. 4. There's so much you would miss out on doing. 5. There is always a reason to live. It might not be clear right now, but it is always there. 6. So many people care, and it would hurt them if you hurt yourself. 7. You ARE worth it. Don't let anyone, especially yourself, tell you otherwise. 8. You are amazing. 9. A time will come, once you've battled the toughest times of your life and are in ease once again, where you will be so glad that you decided to keep on living. You will emerge stronger from this all, and won't regret your choice to carry on with life. Because things always get better. 10. What about all the things you've always wanted to do? What about the things you've planned, but never got around to doing? You can't do them when you're dead. 11. I love you. Even if only one person loves you, that's still a reason to stay alive. 12. You won't be able to listen to music if you die. 13. Killing yourself is never worth it. You'll hurt both yourself and all the people you care about. 14. There are so many people that would miss you, including me. 15. You're preventing a future generation, YOUR KIDS, from even being born. 16. How do you think your family would feel? Would it improve their lives if you died? 17. You're gorgeous, amazing, and to someone you are perfect. 18. Think about your favourite music artist, you'll never hear their voice again... 19. You'll never have the feeling of walking into a warm building on a cold day 20. Listening to incredibly loud music 21. Being alive is just really good. 22. Not being alive is really bad. 23. Finding your soulmate. 24. Red pandas 25. Going to diners at three in the morning. 26. Really soft pillows. 27. Eating pizza in New York City. 28. Proving people wrong with your success. 29. Watching the jerks that doubted you fail at life. 30. Seeing someone trip over a garbage can. 31. Being able to help other people. 32. Bonfires. 33. Sitting on rooftops. 34. Seeing every single country in the world. 35. Going on roadtrips. 36. You might win the lottery someday. 37. Listening to music on a record player. 38. Going to the top of the Eiffel Tower. 39. Taking really cool pictures. 40. Literally meeting thousands of new people. 41. Hearing crazy stories. 42. Telling crazy stories. 43. Eating ice cream on a hot day. 44. Talking bad about people that deserve it to your best friend and ranting all day 45. Travelling to another planet someday. 46. Having an underwater house. 47. Randomly running into your hero on the street. 48. Having your own room at a fancy hotel. 49. Trampolines. 50. Think about your favourite movie, you'll never watch it again. 51. Think about the feeling of laughing out loud in a public place because your best friend has just sent you an inside joke, 52. Your survival will make the world better, even if it's for just one person or 20 or 100 or more. 53. People do care. 54. Treehouses 55. Hanging out with your soul mate in a treehouse 55. Snorting when you laugh and not caring who sees 56. I don't even know you and I love you. 57. I don't even know you and I care about you. 58.

Is there any more reason to smile? 98. being able to hug that one person you havent seen in years 99. People care enough about you and your future to come up with 100 reasons for you not to do this. 100. But, the final and most important one is, just, being able to experience life. Because even if your life doesn't seem so great right now, literally anything could happen

If your answer is yes, isn't that reason enough to change everything about your life? No-death-needed reincarnation?

I've often seen this kind of argument.
It sounds good, but in my opinion it doesn't quite take into account that mental habits and conditioning can't just be turned off or redirected in a short amount of time - and even if they could, most people don't have the discipline or knowledge to make that happen.
But still, I'm not criticizing that advice and it's not bad advice. You do indeed need to start changing things somehow to get out of suicidal ideation and depression. Changing small habits and doing active work in positive self talk, finding people who have gone through it and come out stronger, dreaming new dreams, starting to believe you can be someone different from the person you think you are or are becoming.
I sympathize with OP. There have been many times in my life when, if I were presented with a "Yes/No" button in regards to this question, I definitely would have hit "Yes". And even more times when I might have, but can't really say for sure. I'm glad I've never owned a gun, though I'm not against gun ownership.
Wish I had some advice for OP - not that they requested any. I could talk about my experiences of healing but they're all very particular and it's still a lot of up and down - just this past week I've been incredibly low and feeling miserable. I got lucky and got a job that allowed me to spend money on healing. That's a privilege not everybody has, but if you do have money, you should look into how you can spend it wisely to heal yourself: a gym membership, talk therapy, hypnotherapy, acupuncture, tai chi, medical massages, salsa lessons, a long beach vacation, anything to shake up the mental rut.
Lately I've been doing HIIT workouts on YouTube. After 10 or 20 minutes I break a sweat and feel better. It's a small commitment (though I still don't always commit to it) that helps.
Let's hope for better days ahead for us all.
-------------------- “Strengthened by contemplation and study, I will not fear my passions like a coward. My body I will give to pleasures, to diversions that I’ve dreamed of, to the most daring erotic desires, to the lustful impulses of my blood, without any fear at all, for whenever I will— and I will have the will, strengthened as I’ll be with contemplation and study— at the crucial moments I’ll recover my spirit as was before: ascetic.”
