I'm not sure if this has been done before, but when I'm feeling really down it usually helps me to think of the things that, to me, makes my life worth living regardless of how bad things gets. Maybe it's someone you really care about, or a particular passion you have. For me, it's my family. I take pride in the fact that even though we've been through some rough times we've remained extremely close. No matter how bad my life could get, seeing my younger sisters grow up is enough incentive for me to keep going.

So what do you have to live for?
 
i can get suicidal, and have a history of suicide in my family. i know how it effects/effected them, i am fortunate enough to have a loving family. so they knock that idea out of my head fast usually, even my cats do help, i imagine them finding my body and being confused smelling me and knowing that my blood is not flowing and how 'sad' or confused they would be, they get upset enough when i leave the house at all.

something else that really helps is to think back to a point how ever long ago where i was very happy with life, even over the simplest things, and realalize that i havent always been that unhappy. along with those happy memories i remember the bad ones and how over time i felt better, and then worse and then better yet again. its just the course of life and emotion for me, knowing this helps me live out that course.
 
I dont like what my suicide would do to my family. Friends would just move on and forget me. But i think about killing myself everyday.

I've never said this referring to a guy and wouldn't irl, but that's the most adorable thing i've ever heard.
 
I live life for myself, and no one else. Everyone on here and on this earth is the same, they just don't realize it. I love my friends and family, but i'm on this earth do to what i want when i want.

We've all got one life to live. Feeling sorry for yourself and living in the past is a pathetic, sad, desperate waste of the one resource you can never get back: time.
 
School, my little blonde number, family, friends, shit like that wha wha
 
My younger brothers, they are the coolest guys in the world and have had enough bad crap happen to them in their lives, I cant imagine them having to deal with anymore loss in their lives.
 
my horse, maverick - god i love him
i imagine riding him thru the forest - i imagine how he wud not b confused if i was dead cos im the only owner hes known......ive bn his 'mother' since he was weaned at 6 months old from his gorgeous mother, mona lisa, who i sold for 2 grams of crystal meth
memories of all the horses ive had also help, even tho i sold them all for drugs, as well as my floats and horse truck
also knowing how devastated my mum wud b, and my bro who i get on real well with
even how my best friend wud feel
it all keeps me from suicide
i tried to top myself for the first time in ages yesterday - i shud have thought about all this stuff then
thanks generic mind - i think this is a gt post and may even help save sum lives if it can get us thinking!
 
I don't have anything that I am passionate about. At best, I have a mild interest in a few things that I usually get little enjoyment from. The only thing I love doing is getting high. That is one thing to live for. I am usually at least a little depressed, some times badly depressed, but rarely suicidal. I have not been close to killing myself intentionally in the last 5 or 6 years. I have very little interest in anything other than drugs, and to a lesser extent science.

I guess my parents, other family, and my parrot also give me some reason to live. I usually do not feel much for anyone else when I am not high, but I know my death would have a negative impact on their lives. I have had trouble feeling normal emotions since I was like 8 years old.

I have a fear of dying. If I become suicidal, that fear will probably go away. It did last time. Maybe I will never be seriously suicidal again.

I am sure I would kill myself if everyone I cared about died.
 
^ I loved this answer best.

I am living for me. Life is short, and I am living to raise my baby girls. I can do it too. %) But my 12 year old, I am sure, may be the death of me yet, lol. 8) %)
 
After my much, much beloved sister was killed in a really stupid accident by a DWI, and the guy who did it got off with a suspended sentence, I spent about 3 years in a blue funk. A relationship with a Good Woman snapped me out of it.

Hang on, is my advice, if you find life not worth living. You can always kill yourself later.
 
My dad... and sometimes my mum. I cant bear the thought of what i would do to my dad if i killed myself. Though when im suicidal, i dont really care... but thinking of him usually stops me. That plus my pug (dog) would be lost without his mummy. Not a whole else lot i honestly think i have to live for. A few friends, but they come and go in life. My studies and possible career sure, but i dont think a degree will make me happy. Though, usually thinking about what ill miss in life makes me stop... Just wondering what i could have achieved, failed, loved, travelled, everything... the curiosity is too much for me to not live anymore. *shrugs*
