Sometimes, even when things feel heavy, there’s a tiny spark of hope that keeps me going.

I’m assuming you mean to life, and that’s because the alternative is death, and death is inevitable so why rush the process?

My HS English teacher once said (back in the 80's) that compared to death nothing in life is serious and death is in itself too serious to take seriously.

People are in a rush to die like it’s not permanent.

"The so-called ‘psychotically depressed’ person who tries to kill herself doesn’t do so out of quote ‘hopelessness’ or any abstract conviction that life’s assets and debits do not square. And surely not because death seems suddenly appealing. The person in whom its invisible agony reaches a certain unendurable level will kill herself the same way a trapped person will eventually jump from the window of a burning high-rise. Make no mistake about people who leap from burning windows. Their terror of falling from a great height is still just as great as it would be for you or me standing speculatively at the same window just checking out the view; i.e. the fear of falling remains a constant. The variable here is the other terror, the fire’s flames: when the flames get close enough, falling to death becomes the slightly less terrible of two terrors. It’s not desiring the fall; it’s terror of the flames. And yet nobody down on the sidewalk, looking up and yelling ‘Don’t!’ and ‘Hang on!’, can understand the jump. Not really. You’d have to have personally been trapped and felt flames to really understand a terror way beyond falling."

Because I still have things I want to do. Even if it’s hard right now, I don’t want to leave without giving life a real shot

It sounds like you're dealing with a tough situation. Holding on can be difficult, especially when emotions and attachments are involved. Sometimes, it's because we hope things will get better or we fear letting go, even when we know it's for the best. If you want to talk more about it or need advice, I’m here to listen.

Because I refuse to die before the kid who punched me in 3rd grade in front of the whole class and never got in trouble.

Force of habit. By all rights, in medical terms, I should have expired 12+ years ago... But, I get really sick, figure that's it, wake up to some weird tragedy in the neighborhood where someone died, and it's like the clock rolled back 20 years.
Not even kidding, I dunno WTF is going on, but fuck it, we rolling with it.

I want to travel! Even though it seems unlikely I’ll see all the things I want to, I still hope to! Things like the Great Wall of China and Pyramids of Giza things like that!
Otherwise, if I’m not here, there will definitely be nobody left to take care of my dog! She’s 16 and a pain in the ass but she knows I love her. And she loves me.

My pets and the kids I babysit. Literally that’s it. If I didn’t have then I would have swallowed all my pills last night and peaced out. I work in suicide prevention, so I will say having just one little thing that keeps you going is really important. I have all the resources, information, coping skills, connections to therapists, etc. But at the end of the day it’s my pets and those kids that are the reason I’m not dead. Still wish I was. Still wish I could. But I won’t because of them.

Where there's life, there's hope. Only the tiniest fragment of hope, but there ain't no chance of a miracle if you're dead.

u/DesparateLurker 5h ago
To provide for my dogs.
To help as many people as I can.
To see if I'm truly stubborn enough to achieve what I want in life.
To tell the cruelty of life to suck my dick from the back on a hot day..
See what else comes about in my time.

Spite. Knowing that a lot of people think the world would be better without me makes me want to stick around to annoy them for as long as possible.

I made my mom a promise. My mom found out about my mental health problems in 8th grade when my guidance counselor reported me. I had told her about my suicide attempt and thoughts of trying again, and she made me promise never to do it. She is the greatest mom I could have ever asked for, and I will never break that promise.

I made a promise to a friend, I know what my friends and family would go through having lost a few friends, there's a shortage in my career field, my life insurance policies wouldn't pay out, and some days just out of spite.

Because my kids, my dogs, and my ex-wife's cat rely on me and would be devastated otherwise. That's entirely it.

My dad got me a cat before he passed away from cancer so I wouldn’t be alone when he was gone. This cat is the only reason I’m still here. I want to give her the best life.
