Why the instinct to survive?

As someone who contemplates suicide every day, and several times a day sometimes, I can tell you "why" I don't end my life: my sister would be devastated, and so would my friends the rest of my family. It's as simple as that, but that's just me. The best answer to the question, "what is stopping me from ending my life?" is "what has stopped you from ending it until now?"

Quote:It's a stupid question if you decide to make it one.

I don't think the people asking me these questions are stupid... I think it's an honest response to really horrible things happening in life... Good grief!!!

I'm pretty sure you're the only one getting heated here, and I don't think anyone called anyone else stupid...
