	I know not everyone here is suicidal, but for those who might be: I realized recently that I believe in karma and reincarnation, and that this belief is the only reason I haven't killed myself. Does anyone else here have religious/spiritual reasons for not committing suicide? Other reasons?

	I wouldn't want my child to commit suicide. I stay here for my mother and little brother. I don't want to hurt them like that. It wouldn't be right. I also stay for my sister and her kids. They look up to me. There's also the itsy bitsy little tiny bit of hope that things will get better.... :/

	My fear of pain in slitting my wrist keeps me alive. And a bit of hope that someday all these things are going to make sense.

	Well, not that I'm depressed. But I strictly believe that death is death and the end of it all. That is why I don't fear it, because I won't even experience it. And it is also a reason for not quitting on life, you won't get a second chance, so make whatever you feel like until the time comes. When it ends it ends.

	Well, I have failed twice now. After that I sort of figured maybe there was a 'reason' I was still alive. Like I was suppose to help other people. On another side: IF there's a hell, well, I've already signed my soul over. Then again, I think if I failed a third time, I'm afraid I'd be locked up in the hospital for a long, long time. I guess the reasoning varies from day to day.

	my reason... there's two, one stopped me the first time, the other the second. 1. my god, i thought he wouldn't like it if i did. he'd pick up my broken pieces and weep. 2. i know there's a reason a i live. i know there'll be a time when someone will need me and i will live til that moment and make myself the person who can help them. i don't want that time to come and be dead.
