Why should I live?

Question

I am suffering badly from the anti depressant related accident.

It looks like there is no cure for my situation.

Doctors don't know what to do.

Everyday is painful to me. I am tired of living my life.

The illness left my body full of flaws and I don't look attractive anymore.

Now I am ugly, and full of pain.

Why should I live? I really want to die.

Serious answers only, please.

Answer 1

I lay in my own vomit and asked the same question.  Then the concept of spiritual healing by a one day at a time approach to drying out from alcohol started.  I say spiritual not any religious sense.  But, in a higher state than physical existence.  Your physical appearance was never who you were.  Please attempt to live one day at a time and focus on what you can improve in your life. Total happiness is our goal when 8 years old.  It must give way to another state of being.  Suicide is not an answer.  It is not an improvement over your status at it stands today.  Gradual change will lead to remarkable results.  I can assure of that.

Answer 2

The first thing to remember is that we are all chemical beings. Everything we feel and think is the result of chemical reactions. To be healthy and make life worthwhile we have to promote those chemical reactions that are good for us, and bannish the other ones, which make us suffer and degenerate.  Be strong willed and focus on improving even just a little bit every day and you will get out of this tunnel and be glad to be alive again.  Our will can be more effective than any medecine.

Answer 3

Because a good comes out of every bad. Life is a beautiful mess that you are lucky god gave you.

Answer 4

Recently I was in a care accident that messed me up pretty badly. It hurts and not only the physical pain. People watch me like I might break and my parents treat me like a little kid again. Its easy to feel ugly and poisoned. its easy not to want to go on. So many ways and reasons to die. Finding the reasons to live is whats hard.

I won't give you any c**p. Its going to be hard, it already is and I may not be able to give you a perfect answer. I'm looking for one myself. Don't give up. Call me a romantic but I want to know what happens next and I was never one for the easy way out.

We have to try. Not for other people because when push comes to shove it is all too easy to convince ourselves that they are better off without us. We have to try for us. We have to be better than our pain or that pain is all the defines us and that's a very sad way to go out.

I don't think you want to die. I don't want to die no matter how sweetly it calls to me, that last unknown darkness. I don't think you want to die because you just asked me for a reason to live.

Like I said I can't give you a perfect answer. I don't know you and I don't know exactly your situation. I can only ask you to try with me, help me find the beauty in a world that seems to end right at the door. Its out there. The World seldom changes only the people in it do.

Keeping you in my prayers

Answer 5

Just because life is full of surprise and sudden changes, and you never know when they will happen and where and how you will be in few years from now.

Why to loose such an opportunity ?

I was born in a very normal family, I was living in a really standard  area of Milan, I was a quite bad student.

Meanwhile, now  I have visited the world , and I have met and loved amazing people, and learn so many things and felt so many different feelings!

All of this happened and will happen to you too.

Moreover, there is not such a thing as an ugly person: don't fall in the trap of commercials' standard.

Instead of looking for reasons on why to live (it is a loss of time), just live your life and be open to whatever may happen to you

Answer 6

When I was about 15 years of age, I worked in a theatre and found a wartime picture of a woman with her legs blown off who was having a baby.  After looking at that my problems seemed far smaller.

Try to focus on what you can do, rather than what you cannot.   This life is a short hard visit but you must endure it to reach a better plane.

Every religion is agreed upon one thing, suicide is a mortal sin.  There must be something in it if ALL religions agree, as they so rarely agree on anything else.

Time is a great healer also.

Good Luck!

Answer 7

A very wise man once said,

"The night is always darkest before the dawn."

If things look bad, they will get better.

Answer 8

there are lots of nice things in life. If you wanna get over your depression, think positively. Life is too short to waste. Just stay positive; I'm sure everything will be fine. =)

Answer 9

I was bullied a lot at school. And I am not talking about childish teasing, but actual assault and mental abuse and physical abuse. Do you know how many times I looked out of my window and simply wanted to jump, to get away from the pain and finally rest in peace, away from all the pain and all the scars? I used to avoid mirrors and tremble when I walked past a group of young people, always thinking they were talking about me, laughing at me. So often I just wanted to stop living, and the only thing that stopped me is the obvious realisation that no matter how close I was with my family, I knew they would suffer irrevocably with my death. I could imagine wrecking my parent's lives, forever scarring them more than I have ever been.

Why should you live? Because we are all go through certain periods in our existence when going on seems impossible. But it is simply part of being human. There is noone who never felt what you feel now- they just hide it from everyone, behind the facade of a smile. You are not alone, my friend.

Quite a few years have passed, and I am still here. And I am happy to be alive. Everyone has their purpose in life, find yours. Maybe you would like to be a medic who saves lives? Or attempt to find cure for cancer? Or simply grace others around you with your kindness?

Please do not let go just yet. Think of what ordeal you will put your family through, they will blame themselves for the rest of their lives for your demise. You know I am right. Your pain will pass, trust me, it really will. It is not forever, it is just one of those moments we all go through.

Answer 10

You should probably live because you want someone to give you a reason to, even if you can't find one on your own.

That indicates something inside of you isn't willing to give up yet.

Answer 11

because suicide is completely giving up and there is always something to be learned from ANY situation, no matter who and where you are.
