Aging/Getting Old John Doe 06/24/15 (Wed) 10:54:31 4943bc No.9445

How do you guys deal with the idea of becoming old and withered?

Does it spur you on to try to go through with your desired method of suicide? Does it scare you that with all your procrastination and fear that you may in fact be old and alone still telling yourself you're going to kill yourself?

I turn 24 this year and although it may not be considerably old, I've lost the last 7 years of my life to near daily harassment and abuse and have made the realization that things will never get any better. I'll only get older now, my hair will thin and my bones will ache while my skins sags over my mouth and cheeks.

It really scares me, and while I keep telling myself I'll do it, the fact that I haven't had the nerve or the real means to go through with it in the 23 years I've had to struggle makes me afraid that I'll be making a thread like this 10 years from now.

What's holding you back, OP?

What's stopping you from going to a pawn shop, buying a single-shot 12g for <$75, buying a box of buckshot from Walmart, and instantly ending it all?

I'm a britbong so guns aren't an option. I've been looking into the Helium Exit Bag method but finding pure helium is a big problem or so I've heard.

Single-shot shotguns are legal in Britain.

Really? I had no idea. I do however think that I'd pussy out holding a shotgun to my face, fear of pain, fear of surviving and becoming a potato Lord. So more than anything it's the fear of what could go wrong, the helium method seems to be risk free.

There is a zero chance of survival from a blast to the brain stem. There's no pain, you're instantly dead.

The Helium method, on the other hand; is extremely painful (you're just not conscious to experience the pain) and you claw at your throat and thrash around as you suffocate. It's not just peacefully slipping off to sleep.

I've been falling apart since I was clinically dead for a disturbing length of time in my youth, so I don't give a fuck.

You get used to it.

I'm pretty sure I won't reach the age of 30, I'm 25 now. Probably because of suicide in order to prevent worse, because health.

If you exercise and eat well, the worst of the effects of aging will be mitigated. Many people remain fit and active well into thier 90s. It's really about a life of effort: physical and mental.

Get fit and healthy now while you're young. Take care in finding someone you love and enjoy being fiends with, who shares your values. Grow old together and remain healthy so your lives aren't filled with misery.

It's not as good as staying young forever, but in lieu of that it's quite enjoyable. I'm 40, in good shape, and have been married to a lovely woman who also stays fit for over a decade. We're growing old together and it's very nice.

Protip 1: as you get older, the age bracket of people you find attractive moves with you. There's no way I'd actually enjoy a 20 year old now. Their bodies are fresh but thier inexperience and immaturity is a turn off.

What you want in aging is "compression of morbidity", meaning staying healthy and fit right up until the end, where your metabolism breaks down within one or two years and you die quickly.

Protip 2: find a fitness activity you ENJOY. That's the hardest thing about remaining fit. Unless you're one of those people who really likes the gym, you'll never stick with the gym. I like long-distance hiking in the rocky mountains. My wife likes historical European martial arts (longsword fencing). This is how we're able to keep in shape: each 'workout' is a good time we're looking forward to.

When I was 25 I thought I wouldn't reach the age of thirty either. I figured I'd just stand in front of a train on my 30th birthday.

But I didn't. You won't either.

There is a nonzero chance of fucking up due to the recoil from the gun, ignorance of basic anatomy, and ending up a potato.

Pro-tip. Sleep more. Even an extra 1 hour a day is 365 hours a year. That is literally 15 whole days disappearing out of your year where you don't have to think about this stuff! The more you sleep, the more tired you get.

At weekends I can do 12 hours sleep like a fucking baby.

I'm not that bothered about my 'looks' fading with age. Not an issue as I never did anything with women anyway.

For the most part I don't mind getting older, I care about stuff a lot less. Before I'd feel awful about certain things, now I feel nothing. That is an improvement to me.

I am very pleased at how quickly time is passing and it seems to be getting faster. Even if I never get the guts to kill myself, nature will get me anyway. Don't fucking exercise, that will only prolong your lifetime. Wtf is the point in that? Stay slim by not eating much.
