Suicide

Whirrlz · 2018-07-06T01:22:04+00:00

I was suicidal for years until I found mgtow. As stupid as it sounds, I made a promise to myself that if I couldn't find happiness before Christmas of last year then I would pull the plug on myself. Well I found it. By listening to mgtow YouTube channels and Tom Leykis. Realizing women actually arent shit and will never amount to anything. I realized they serve no purpose to me. I was finally able to move on. Mgtow helped clear my vision to a better path. I hope more men learn like I did.

/r/MGTOWTherapy is the place for that. They could use more traffic and content.

Thanks brother.. I appreciate this. I sometimes have crazy thoughts like that but I know deep down, ending it would be giving power to those who hurt me in the past and thats something I refuse to do.

I've had suicidal thoughts for over a decade now. I can live with them. I've owned guns the whole time, so I know I can do it quickly and basically painlessly.

The thought that always backs me away from the ledge is this:

If I can take my own life, then I'm still in control of it. If I'm in control, then I can make it better, so I have no real reason to kill myself.

Sometimes I think that pretty much every man whose IQ is above a certain level has ever entertained the idea of suicide. Is life worth living? That's a question each human has to answer to themselves. Same applies to "what is the meaning of my life?". What I've learned is that a man is less likely to consider suicide if he is on a mission to achieve or become something. If man's goal in life is to find love or to have friends or be liked, then that's a man that will surely be torn to pieces by disappointment, especially in the current social climate.

I know a lot of men nowadays struggle. There has never been as many fatherless children as nowadays (thanks, feminism!) and without proper guidance, a man is likely to be led astray and end up losing perspective, which is what leads to depressive or suicidal thoughts. I for one grew up without a father and only intuitively found out that lifting heavy at the gym helps to deal with heartbreak and other emotional issues which are, fortunately, temporary. Prayer helps. Real, close, male friends also help, but even those are hard to come by these days. My best advice is simply "don't bottle things up inside", as that bottle is very likely to break and once it does, it might be the end of you.

There is also /r/MGTOWTherapy for anyone who feels that this community is too active for their topic to gain attention and would prefer to discuss their mental health at length. The sub is small and not as fast-moving as this one so you don't have to worry about not making it to the front page or not getting enough attention. We could use more active members to provide support as well. 😊

AllUpInYoGirl · 2018-07-06T02:02:13+00:00

I will take the time to read and respond to anyone that feels life is not worth living, because I have been there too. No judgement on anyone's journey.

A friend of mine killed himself a week ago. His wife called me and told me the next day in shock. She found him after he blew his head off. She loved him and was one of those few good wives to him. Made no sense but now her life and his kids are in shambles. It is never worth it. Live for you. Life has pain and sorrow. Push through it and work on positive change you are able to do, one small step at a time.

nofilmynofucky · 2018-07-06T04:29:22+00:00

My life plan involves suicide - eventually.

I don't want to get super old. I don't want to spend my last years bored off my nut, withering and rotting away. I don't want to outlive my passions, goals and dreams - so when I'm done, that'll be me out. I intend on controlling my death the same way I've controlled my life: on my own terms

I realise your post isn't aimed at people like me, just trying to provide some insight as to another reason that people may find the idea of suicide attractive

Chelsea__Grin · 2018-07-06T02:08:47+00:00

I love the positivity here! It is also truly genuine to help others online anonymously because theirs is no virtue signaling that can be done. Right on my man! Keep it up!

I'm not a trained counselor, either, but I do know that depression, and getting over it depends on how you talk to yourself. Your internal dialog, the voice in your head, can make you anxious and then depressed. It helps you pull out of the weeds, too. Mi 2 pesos.

dead_man_dreaming · 2018-07-06T06:10:28+00:00

You have a great heart my friend! Wonderful to read posts like this, it shows the human quality of MGTOW, I am so proud of this sub, thank you Sir for your support!

Great topic. Just going to vent a little; maybe it might help someone else...

I've dealt with suicidal thoughts off-and-on for a couple of decades now, since I was in my teens. When I was young, it was...bad. Not that I ever got to the point of any specific plans or attempts, but just a general feeling of wanting to die and wishing things would be over. It would occasionally progress to self-harm when I just needed something to distract me from how terrible I felt and the usual distractions (internet, TV, music, etc) weren't working. I didn't see much hope for the future in my career, what goals I had were so far in the distance that they seemed unobtainable and I felt like a failure because I was a loner with few friends and couldn't find a romantic relationship. The main thing that kept me alive in the darkest days was that I had a great relationship with my parents and it would have devastated them if I'd taken my own life. I couldn't do that to them...but I didn't tell them about any of it (I think they knew though...).

A few years ago, I just got tired of hating my life and decided that I needed to make some changes. My dead-end, soul-crushing job - one source of my problems - I finally resigned and started the process of changing careers. Around the same time as I was starting my career change, I got sick and needed a minor surgery, which my folks came to help me out a little while I recovered. The stress of everything at that time was too much and I finally told them about the thoughts I'd been having for years...and I'm glad I did. They gave me a lot of support and, though they suggested I seek some professional help, they understood the reason why I didn't (and still won't). I'd discovered MGTOW years before, but I finally started to apply it more and really consider why I was placing so much importance on relationships and pleasing others. It put a lot in perspective.

Flash forward a couple of years and I have a new job that I really enjoy, still a great relationship with my folks and I'm comfortable with my monk-mode solitude. The thoughts are still there sometimes - particularly if I'm very stressed - but it's more of a low noise that I don't really hear any more...and that I certainly don't pay attention to. It's there, but I've gained the maturity to recognize it and put it in perspective. In a way, strange as this might sound, it's given me a bit of strength to face challenges better - I mean, if I'm not afraid to die, then why should I be afraid of anything else?

Life does get hard, but we need to form a brotherhood to help each other out! We shall always reach a helping hand to all human who are forced/stuck in a corner.

Afab67 · 2018-07-06T13:12:53+00:00

For too long men have had their value dictated by women and the state. Both are unworthy judges. We have more than earned the right to start determining our value for ourselves, by ourselves. The days of sacrificing ourselves on the altar of other people's expectations is over.

anotherdumbcaucasian · 2018-07-06T13:51:40+00:00

As someone who attempted suicide, it's not worth it.

anonylaw2 · 2018-07-06T03:58:15+00:00

Suicide has been a constant thought lately. I'm so tired and exhausted I want to stop trying.

ImAnIronmanBtw · 2018-07-06T04:39:55+00:00

Never been suicidal but i can see how others could be.

Some people have just got it really bad man. I'm quite lucky when i compare myself to most.

”Sometimes it can seem and feel like we are backed into a corner and have no options”

The worlds greatest lie: that at a certain point in our lives, we lose control of what’s happening to us, and our lives become controlled by fate - the alchemist by Paulo Coelho

Sure the options may be shitty at times but don’t let that stop you from realizing you dictate your life choices. Stay strong bros :)

HansKrinkelSchneider · 2018-07-06T09:49:41+00:00

You are an Angel of the Divine for just posting this.

Much respect.

Benny757 · 2018-07-06T14:44:56+00:00

I second this. Call on us, we'll be there for you. Bros before Hoes. Many here have been "down the road" so to speak. How many times.

1st10Amendments · 2018-07-06T07:02:35+00:00

I think it would be risky to post suicidal thoughts on ANY social media, but at r/MGTOW we tend to shore each other up first, then offer suggestions for how to solve a problem; that’s how guys are. Women like to talk, men want to solve so there’s no reason to talk. YMMV.

SoyIsGoy · 2018-07-06T08:51:23+00:00

If we don’t have sex cuddle bots by 2025 I’m ending it

Mgtow is a really good motivator.I have seen the last days of HIV patients.If I ever get diagnosed HIV positive , I will kill myself that afternoon.

AboutNinthAccount · 2018-07-06T13:16:36+00:00

I'm not going to waste away in a hospital bed, or an old-folks home, living semi-privately and sharing the bathroom.

I refuse to go out that way. When it is my time, I will go.
