Welcoming Death?

[xXoblivionXx]

So I've been feeling a bit depressed lately and Recently one of my relatives was touched by cancer and that got me thinking. If I ever got cancer I don't think I would fight it.. I would just accept it and wait for death :/

Part of me feels the same way- if I got diagnosed with something terminal? It'd be a helluva relief. I wouldn't have to keep fighting for something I'm not totally convinced is possible to begin with.

But part of me also feels like the will to live in me would paradoxically start to kick in, and... I'm just glad that I don't have to face a terminal diagnosis at this point.

I'm not sure if it's about being diagnosed with a terminal illness but more or less if death came my way I wouldn't try to live... Like I want to die but I wouldn't do it myself

If I was in a situation where I thought I'd die, I'd probably just let myself go as well. If I had time to contemplate what 'dying' meant, I'd probably panic. (Say someone had a gun to my head vs being diagnosed with cancer. I don't know if that makes sense.)

If I got diagnosed with terminal cancer I guess I'd calmly await death too, I guess I'd ask for strong sedation to stand the pain and just wait for it all to end. I haven't been able to calmly expect death when pointed by a gun or something... must be instinct.

truthfully thats kinda how i feel im not afraid of death at all i would let it happen if something threatened to kill me but then again most the time im suicidal so yeah probley why

[audiophile5]

I also feel like this. I'm not suicidal, I don't plan on taking my life, but if something happened to me, I would not fight to survive. Why should I? To come back to more pain?

A friend of my family who I know vey well is suffering from cancer, she has for more than a year now and all the time she's had it they've been saying she only had a week left to live, but she's still there. Her death is certain but she's still going.
Think of all the things you have to do and the people you have to say goodbye to, and the thing is, once you face death, you start to sant to do the simple things, like taking a walk or eating at a restaurant.

Dying doesn't hurt, I should know. Its as simple as going to sleep and forgetting to wake up and heading to a bright light. It's sad that one of your family member's have cancer, BUT you also have to remember that you may not get cancer, If you did , there is ALWAYS a possibility that you could be a surviver.

Im afraid of death. But im also suicidal. It doesn't make sense but thats me.
