But if I kill my past self... I'll be dead in the future

The problem is not that I don't like myself. It's that I don't want to live on this planet anymore.

Yeah, I tried that. Turns out, you can't kill the old self, you can only bury it and pretend it's dead. But...... 1/2
deadandbloated
it turns out that feeling, listening to, & finally accepting the parts of myself I hated made them go quiet and let the good side take over.

"Just stop being sad"
ASMRuVeganYet
Some people find it hard to not let things like sexism and hatefulness ruin their day because empathy is too strong.
ASMRuVeganYet
Asking someone like that to not be depressed about seeing something hateful is like asking them to abandon their empathy which is tough
ASMRuVeganYet
But for those who feel they can pull it off, it can be a great thing, just want to point out how it's easier said than done

Having gone through this process, unfortunately the sentiment makes a lot more sense in retrospect than when you're in the thick of it.

Tried to kill what I don't like. Ended up been called a serial killer

It's a life struggle. Sometimes you can't win, you just keep the enemy at bay. It sucks. Be strong, and if you feel like you're losing:

You choose your therapist. If they don't fit- trust your gut and move on. There is no obligation to stay out of politeness. This is key!

I really struggled to let go of some things. It felt like 'cheating'.
singstoinstrumentals
Same here. It's rough.
thecatspyjamas
Oh fuck! Same! I could never actually put it into words but you've nailed it. Knowing that is a bit of a relief so thanks, friend.
TheVoicesToldMeTo
explain? why would letting go of what be cheating?
z0de
Well I was sad/depressed but I felt it was the correct way to feel about things and anything else would be incorrect/delusional/cheating.
TheVoicesToldMeTo
okay I get it, I've always thought about it the other way around, instead of being sad/depressed my issue is I don't know what happy 1/2
TheVoicesToldMeTo
feels like. I've had good days, but never thought of myself as happy, even when nothing was wrong in my life, so I'm reaching for that now.
ASMRuVeganYet
Thanks for sharing, some people find it hard to not let things like sexism and hatefulness ruin their day because empathy is too strong.
singstoinstrumentals
Im highly sensitive and Ive spent my entire life hating myself for feeling so much. I've always felt stupid for not being able to not care.

Asking someone like that to not be depressed about seeing something hateful is like asking them to abandon their empathy which is tough

Oh fuck you. This is no better than those "Depressed? Just smile and it will all be okay!" posts.
MintMission
Of course getting to the end isn't as pushing a button. But one step a time it's sometimes possible to overcome depression.
UnassumingAscotCap
"Fake it 'till you make it!" Well over a decade of fervent faking later theres no faking left and it hasn't helped.

As someone with several attempts behind me, I disagree. This is the thought process that got me to start to improve my life, resulting in me

reaching my 25th birthday (I originally planned to be dead by 18). I'm not doing GREAT, but I'm miles away from where I was.

Also turning 25 in about a month. Almost ended it when I was 15. Not 100%, but def better than before. Crazy looking back at those times.

Also headed toward my 25th. Still not doing much better than when this mess started over a decade ago, still just want to be gone.

Yes. Start a youtube and stick with it

Well yeah but then you'd need to kill gaming guy pretty soon, either metaphorically for survival purposes or literally via malnutrition.

Oh he just orders pizza. I didn't exactly plan this suicide out for the long run! I got enough cash saved to last me... 3 days. Give or Take

It's not trying to tell you it's easy, just suggesting a way to make you reframe the situation. If it helps someone it's worth suggesting.

They're not saying that you should wake up tomorrow as a new person. Change takes time. And usually some sort of sacrifice.

I really think this was about something mental. But as someone who happens to also have chronic pain, I learned to handle said pain.
chewybrian
Not easy, but you have the power to make a radical change that could turn things around for you. My personal experience...1/?
chewybrian
2/? I got rid of my car. It solves my financial problems and forced me to get in better shape riding my bike and walking ...
chewybrian
3/? Increased confidence proving to myself I could ride 20 miles in the rain or whatever. Saved the money to buy a condo...
chewybrian
4/4 Then I was able to own a dog, which is also a big help. Your mileage may vary.

For a lot of people, it's not the living end they search. it's the problem ending. Killing what you hate in you can help you live your life.

Living is all there is. Their might be a problem with the life but you can always try to fix it. Unless you end it.

If you end it you won't need to fix it.

classactobv
As someone with chronic (non-suicidal) depression, I don't think this is particularly constructive.
SneakEFoxxe
Perhaps not for you. Different people have different problems and motives.
meresin2718
People with serious chemical imbalances can't just "kill the parts they don't like." The pain is just there and they want it to end.
SneakEFoxxe
That's what I'm saying. That's the case for some people. For different people it could be a specific problem or mindset.
meresin2718
This meme is corny, self helpy bullshit that won't help anyone with serious problems.
charmandfez
I agree, and while I never made the attempt I had plans for suicide. It's not a single problem. It's everything and anything.
YamatoIouko
Is it EVERYTHING? Or is it just so many numerous thing that they feel legion and all-consuming?

The issue with depression (and everyone's different) is that it's not typically "caused" by an external factor. You just find joy in nothing
CirclejerqueDuSoleil
But. I. Don't. Like. Living.

I felt that way and still do sometimes. When it got really bad and I was ready to end it all, I actually took a chance and ended a bad 1/3

It is the life point though. Whats the point of living if we are a spec in eons of unending space. Just to have matter cycled? Move me on

Yeah you only get the matter that makes up your body for a cosmic spec of time. Use it well. Don't take it too seriously.

I can imagine the better life but I just don't see a point to it. The better life in itself doesn't seem to be enough.
