Jade :
Can you give some examples of what reasons for living for yourself could be?

Xavier does Art :
For anyone wanting examples that don't involve other people here's some of my core reasons: I stay alive to continue to create art, to bathe my body in rivers and the sea, to swim alonside wild fish and be a part of nature. To watch sunrises and sunsets made of protons that took up to 100,000 years just to reach my eyes, I stay alive to show other people what it's like to be loved no matter how much time they're in my life. I stay alive to eat my favourite foods, to get high, to play my favourite games. I stay alive to let my entire body sink into the sound of my favourite music, I stay alive to learn new things and expand my mind, I stay alive to watch the seasons change to my favourite ones, to sit by a campfire on a cool autumn evening, to enjoy a great cup of coffee, the list goes on. It doesn't have to be a few huge major reasons. You can have a base of many tiny reasons that link together and create a stronger base for you to build off of <3

Vivian 💭🌟 :
this is something I try to explain to people. I'm lucky to have found a medication that helps, but before that I had ideation for a very long time. I only thought about the benefit of dying for me for a short period because it flipped into how much better the people in my life would be if I was gone. depression, just like another mental illness, warps your sense of reality to make you think things that are not naturally true. It's illogical, but you don't know it until you're out of it

you gave examples of reasons to stay for others - but can you give examples of reasons to stay for yourself?

This is exactly what I have been trying to tell people for the last 6yrs. Being told to stay alive for someone else is such a guilt trip when you have nothing for yourself.

When I struggled with clinical depression, I was SO resentful of all the people saying shit like “your daughter would be traumatized for life” or “think of all the people who love you, they’d be devastated,” cuz when you’re already suffering, it can really be overwhelming to feel obligated to continue suffering indefinitely, probably for several more decades, entirely for the benefit of other people. Like when the hell do I get to stay alive for ME? Why should I base the entirety of my continued existence on what other people need from me? Thankfully after decades of trying & failing on every antidepressant, mood stabilizer, antipsychotic, etc. under the sun, I finally convinced a dr to let me try vyvanse and my depression went from a constant 7-8 out of 10 to a very manageable 3-4 out of 10. Turns out the main reason I wanted to check out early was cuz I was burnt out and was convinced it was just laziness.

My depression started twisting my load bearing blocks but then I became an aunt and yes while I want to live because I don’t want my niece to grow up without me, I also want to live because I am SO excited for everything to come in her life. I’m so excited to see the person she’ll become. This has genuinely saved my life because for the first time (in my life honestly) I haven’t wanted to die. I haven’t had any bad thoughts in about a year. I love my niece so much and in can’t wait to live a full life being her aunt 💖

Every time I feel myself slipping, I buy a concert ticket. Even a relatively cheap one. Sometimes it can be just any event I'm looking forward to, a theatre show, a movie coming out, a town festival. Just something that means "you need to make it to this". Usually by the time it rolls around, the urge has long gone. Then I just have something fun and meaningful to experience.

Video games is the only reason i’m here. Turns out it’s impossible to find love and community as a gay autistic atheist in a deeply regressive religious country

I like this video and almost sent it to my friend but I think it would be even better if you included some realistic “for yourself”

DamnitJanet :
im understanding why I was so suicidal as a child, I always believed the people in my life would completely benefit from me dying. I'm finally starting to build reasons to stay that don't involve other people, it's still really hard and I use little things more often than not but I'm finally commiting to projects that and hobbies that make me want to stay, I want to finish my game, I want to travel to China, I want to perform drag these are my new main things that keep me here, it can still be hard some days but it's starting to get better
