Shouldn't most religious people in theory be excited to die because then they get to experience the afterlife? (lemmy.world)

I mean, I'm not religious but I'm excited to die ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯

(This is a half serious joke. I have a long history of suicidal feelings and whilst I generally do want to live and am not in any acute risk, I wont lie — many days are a struggle. )

Edit: escaped a backslash so my shrug could have both arms.

Hi if you ever wanna talk to someone or feel like your alone do feel free to dm me . This is not just internet formality i'll be genuinely happy to talk to you .

Thanks. I'm not likely to take you up on it because talking about things isn't generally helpful for me, but I appreciate the offer

Its all good its that some people feel more suicidal when alone so i thought I'd offer and you don't have to talk to me about your problem we can talk about anything else . But hey i get it and i hope you overcome whatever that is bothering you .
