Am I actually allowed to kill myself or not?

So you end up in this bind: told to ‘appreciate the now’ while sitting in a mouldy bedroom, broke no matter how much you budget, watching the world burn in a trash bucket. You can’t wish your life away, but you can’t really live it either. It’s like being held between two walls — you see everything clearly, but there’s nowhere to move. Some days I feel like I’d need a lobotomy just to make the bind stop. I’m saying this not to be dramatic but because I think it’s the honest reality for people like us.

This is spot on.

Kill yourself with kindness.

@Yimpa Not good.

It's never an option. It will not stop the pain and suffering. Do not take your own life. Or worse, someone else's.

It has to become your mission to find a way out of this. By any (healthy) means necessary.

There is always a way. No matter how dark the road gets.

Trust me, I know. Life has been a bitch towards me too. But I never lost faith and I always came out victorious.

Baby steps.

Let me clarify: 

I took the idiom "Kill with kindness", which is usually interpreted to mean responding to negativity from others in a kind way. But now I am flipping the script with "Kill yourself with kindness", meaning to self-reflect on your own internal hatred so you can work towards giving yourself self-compassion. It is a skill that takes years to develop.

@Yimpa I understood right away.

if i was suicidal, maybe I would have not.

Maybe I would have only read "kill yourself" and dismissed the word "kindness" altogether.

Where is there to go? The common assumption behind suicide is that you'll go into this lovey dovey plane of existence where all your worries and problems will melt away, escaping the problems ur facing on earth. Is that guaranteed though? Is it true? For all I know, my life after death could be worse. Many people report hellish NDE experiences. After reading many NDE reports, I have this intuition that suicide in many cases is the too obvious answer. People get lectured in their life reviews telling them how much of a selfish asshole they were etc etc. I think if someone is truly suicidal, they should probably go balls to the wall in spirituality since they have nothing to lose either.

My personal theory is that some form of kamma is real. We don't know what any of us did in our past lives but it might come boomeranging back relentlessly. What I think matters is intentions behind suicide. Are they pure? Since most things in the universe are cyclic in some kind of way, it's no wild assumption to also assume birth and death is also cyclic (rebirths). If one's intentions are relatively pure (eg. if one has attained a very high integrated spiritual state but is suffering a terminal illness) then suicide would be considered tbh. If I were to commit suicide, I would settle my business here on earth and repay my debts to society, my family and others who have helped me. And I would have attained a highly integrated spiritual state which even carries over to my daily life (like an arahant). For me that would be a blameless suicide.

Point is, I don't think suicide is the escape most people think it is. Who can prove existence after suicide isn't more suffering than what one intended to escape? Im not some new ager "life is a school!" type either. The suffering is definitely there and it does seem senseless and meaningless for many. But I do think most suicides has some form of metaphysical consequences. For terminal illness and chronic unbearable physical pain, sure I can see why it would be done. For most people I think, mental problems can be worked on and overcome instead of going straight into the deep end and dying. But for many, it does get to that point unfortunately may they rest in peace.

- me as a guy who's been suicidal for 5-6 years ever since being a teen actually.

 

My suicidality lessened a lot when I realised my suicide isn't exactly the escape that I romanticised it to be. I have a lot of work to do. If you go hardcore into what buddhism teaches, you may find some satisfying conclusions and answers. Classic buddhism won't alleviate all suffering in this life but it will prevent future suffering from future rebirths.

I am discouraging it, But in a nutshell I find suicide as valid if one is suffering immensely enough. Shit I think I’ll do it eventually and I would hate for someone tell say “oh don’t go we need you here” bla bla fck offf

@Elliott I don't know you man, like this isn't a teeny tumbler thread but a literal loaded question and dead serious I need answers, there should be legalised government assisted suicide outside of just being a terminally ill patient so people should have the right to exit,  at the same time more spiritual philosophical ground works about what happens after such a decision needs less taboo and more open conversation 

I agree legal assisted suicide should be available in all 50 states
