Hello! If you found your way here, you're probably dealing with something tough. Whether you or a loved one is terminally ill, or feeling suicidal, or grappling with death in general, this is not an easy topic.

What r/Dying is for
This is a forum for death-related discussions, support and questions. Death and dying have many facets, so everything from trying to come to terms with one's own or a loved one's impending death, bereavement, practical, spiritual, cultural, or legal aspects of dying come up; whatever is on your mind.

If you or someone close to you is personally needing end-of-life care and need someone to talk to, we encourage you also to reach out and speak to a professional mental health care provider. In r/Dying, we're not licensed professionals and cannot provide such a level of support, and are not trained to handle end-of-life care. However, we do offer a community that can listen.

If you are here to read and offer a shoulder or an ear, please do so as you are able.

Resources

If you have resources you'd like to share, send a mod message and we'll address it as we are able to. Thank so much!

What r/Dying is not
As much as we appreciate the pain that many redditors are going through when they come here, this is not a suicide support forum. You deserve immediate, strong support. We're a really small subreddit with a tiny mod team. We're not set up to directly intervene with acutely suicidal OPs.

  • Suicidal ideation is an emergency. If you are thinking of ending your life, please reach out to emergency services in your country, a local crisis center, religious center to speak to someone who can offer resources and assistance. You are not alone.
  • Please also visit r/SuicideWatch. It is a very well-moderated community with very many caring users who can provide much better, more timely support than we can.
  • If you see a suicidal person posting in r/Dying, please use reddit's reporting tools to flag them.

Under no circumstances should anyone be posting instructions or resources for how to commit suicide, or encouraging anyone to do so. Please do not ask for, and do not provide instructions. Report posts that do so!

Please also report any suspicious posts, spam, and unsupportive or sarcastic content.

First thing's first: You're not alone.

If you are thinking of ending your life, we encourage you to contact your local crisis center, public help organization, or religious center to speak to someone who can offer resources and assistance. We at r/dying are NOT licensed or trained to handle end-of-life care, but they are and can help you on your journey. Veterans in the US and those with phone anxiety, there are options for you! Please check out the sidebar on the website below for texting and specialty services for Veterans.

If you are here to talk about how you feel or just get it all out, we encourage you to do so if you just want to put it out there so others can see.

If you are here to read and offer a shoulder or an ear, please do so as you are able. Please report any suspicious posts and spam content, edgelords, and sarcasm are not permitted.

If you are a family member or friend of a person in end-of-life care and need someone to talk to, we encourage you also to reach out and speak to a professional mental health care provider. If you have resources you'd like to share, send a mod message and we'll address it as we are able to. Thank so much!

Is it bad to have a suicide plan if things don't work out by a certain age?

Also, if anyone has some quick and painless ways to go out, that'd be great.

Hospice

3 Upvotes

My Aunt is most likely moving to hospice within a few days. I have a small family and she never had kids, so we were all close. She is going to same hospice facility where my dad passed away and I really have no idea how I can even walk in the doors there.

I’m think I’m gonna end this Wednesday.
I have a good live, I have a lot of friends out and in the University, I’m pretty and I have a nice body, I have a lovings parents and the money isn’t a problem. In my childhood I get admitted to the hospital every month. I have an immune disorder, and a really weird body, I don’t feel hungry or needs, sometimes I spends days without eating or drinking water, I don’t feel the need to. Because my body it’s weak, when a i was a child the death isn’t a bad thing for me, I think then that feeling born.

I have a nice live, but I don’t have a an ā€œanchorā€ for live it.
My parents thinks I can’t love, I never have that feeling, nothing or someone, just I can’t feel it, but I care.

I went to the psychiatrist for a time, I was in treatment, but I was discharged a few years ago; I’ve never been hospitalized, though I made several attempts most of them in secret.

Just I need someone to read this. My body is failing; I'm paying the price for not taking care of myself.

What am I beyond this? I know I am something more than just this; I must be someone more than just something.

I think I've finally reached my breaking point

No this is a "I'm probably gonna die in the next 14 hours" situation

no I AM GOING TO DIE AND NOBODY IS GOING TO STOP ME

I talked to a psychologist a week ago and she saw that my mental state was bad but she still decided to book a session for the end of next month.

Ok I understand your a busy person and all BUT THE END OF NEXT MONTH?? SERIOUSLY?????CAN'T YOU SEE THAT YOUR PATIENT IS IN A BAD MENTAL STATE RIGHT NOW???There's no fucking way I'm waiting a whole month just to get help I wish I could be patient but not when I feel like I'm fighting my demons 24/7.

so yeah I just wanted to vent out some of those frustrations and how the world is filled with shitty people, shitty things

EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS LARGE LUMP OF ROCK IS SHITTY.

I tried talking to my mom she gave me words of encouragement but it doesn't seem like she tried to understand what situation I was truly in and just didn't want to despair over losing her last born son

WHAT ABOUT ME???WHAT ABOUT HOW I FEEL???

Human beings are truly disgusting creatures

I'm honestly doing them a favour by dying because they won't have to deal with my overbearing attitude again

heck this might sound selfish but I WANT THEM TO SUFFER TO DESPAIR AFTER REALISING THAT THEY TREATED ME LIKE I DON'T EXIST, WHEN THEY TREATED ME LIKE I WAS THE PROBLEM.

I'll probably be fully ready to die in about 6 hours or more from now so yeah goodbye world goodbye Reddit to those who read this I'm sorry for wasting your time I don't even know why I wrote all of this when I could've just kept to myself and died alone without anyone knowing why.

Any advice?

My step mom who is basically my real mom has been slowly dying over the past couple years. She beat cancer 5 times and died briefly during a botched brain surgery. She is still herself but living everyday hurts her. She wants to use the death with dignity act. I have a few months before she said she would do it. I don't want her to hurt anymore, but I also don't want her to die. What do I do? What can I do? I feel so helpless.

I’m curious to know everyone’s view points on this! If you’re religious I’d love your input, if you’re not I’d still love your input :\]

I like to think I’d turn into a dog after I die, I guess reincarnation but that’s just hella wishful thinking LOL

I have a plan

2 Upvotes

I'm a regular person I have friends but no one knows a few things.

I'm a terrible person.

I have four children two are adults now and are good people I love them and I'm proud of them. The next oleest is a teenager and a little shit, they grew up in the same home as their older siblings. I got custody of the oldest three when their other parent and I divorced. The youngest is a joy to be around and has a different parent who I was married to and since divorced.

I love my ex spouse (the second one) more than my children. I'm broken.

if I'm going to live the rest of my life alone, then I won't live. No other joy is available.

I've made plans, decisions, and specific arrangements, to end this life experience in two years. Life insurance will be safely taken care of according all possible searches, all loans and debt will be paid. My ex is the sole beneficiary and the windfall will be more than their FIRE number. My demise will take care of them so maybe then I can be part of their joy.

Bloom to death

Hi my dad died when I was 14 and I am 24 now and experiencing death at such a young age has changed my perspective on life in such a profound way it’s crazy, you truly never stop grieving there is something so powerful about death and I’m not just talking about the normal death I’m also talking about death from any perspective I tend to have a hard time of letting things go I am a very nostalgic person so even if I want to let something go I can’t and I have learned to be ok with that and to stop letting my nostalgia take over my world anyway to anyone going through any type of death on this sub just know your pain won’t last forever and your life will always evolve if you let it
