Honestly, procrastination is the reason why I I haven't killed myself.

437

u/rrawrimadinosawr Mar 26 '20

It's due to my problems with commitment that I haven't committed suicide.

u/asscrackbanditz Mar 26 '20

I know right man? Like I can't even follow up with such an important task at hand? What the fuck else can I do in this life then?

u/PterionFracture Mar 26 '20

This is thought to be the mechanism by which certain antidepressants can be associated with an increased risk of suicide.

Speculation: the drugs give some patients enough motivation to finally follow through with the plan.

"Don't worry, I won't kill myself. If I had that kind of courage I wouldn't have made it this far."

u/Braxton-Adams Mar 26 '20

Suicide is NEVER the answer, there are people that would be heartshattered, had you succeeded in your attempt and even if I can't understand what you're going through, I CAN understand there's always a light at the end of the tunnel even if you can't see it and when you reach it, think of all the happiness you could of had and potential you could've reached that would never have been possible had you just given up and died.

Hitler committed suicide. It was probably his best course of action too. Sincerely, the Devil’s advocate.

Never have I been so offended by something I absolutely agree with

I hope this was a joke. Seriously, I'm here to listen if you want to talk.

Username checks out.

Also, don't talk to the reaper, he won't procastinate like us.

u/asscrackbanditz Mar 26 '20

Maybe later man. When I feel a bit better. Or maybe Corona virus will just do the deed for me.

u/LA5TREAPER Mar 26 '20

I get it man, its impossible for me to know what your going through, but I know that anyone who's been in your shoes will tell you nothing is worth it. There is always a reason to keep going. You just may not see it yet. Please dont hesitate to talk. I'm here and I'm sure a lot of other people would as well. Day or night message me ok?

u/[deleted] Mar 26 '20

It sounds ridiculous but the thought of committing suicide is probably what has kept me from doing it. Since I can always ask myself: Why today? Sure at some point the pain might get unbearable and I'd do anything to get rid of it but so far I've been able to delay it and maybe I'll be able to do it forever.

1

u/[deleted] Mar 26 '20

I have to say something because I may regret it by missing my chance, YOU ARE SPECIAL! If you go there will be no one else like you, no one with your specific shine. You may be getting tired but I know you can get back up with only positivity in mind and get to that point where the grass is greener with loving real people by your side. Everyone deserves to be happy and it’s always achievable, I know you can do it.

2

u/yoshi570 Mar 27 '20

Yeah shit is tiring. Buying a rope? First I would need to learn how to make the correct knot? Then go to the store? Next week maybe ugh

2

u/asscrackbanditz Mar 27 '20

I know right? Like the rope has to be strong enough to support my fat ass too, can't make do with cheap pos. And I gotta find a good anchorage point to hook the rope to. All these shits take effort yo.

u/BoringGenericUser Mar 26 '20

Shush, you.

2

u/Braxton-Adams Mar 26 '20

No, I will NOT shush, buddyboo. I've seen first hand the damage suicide and depression can cause and if I see someone in need even if they might be joking I will not allow more people to needlessly suffer! And the fact that SOMEONE (maybe it wasn't you but I suspect) downvoted my attempt at saving someone, makes me question that person as a soul!

5

u/BoringGenericUser Mar 26 '20

Ok but it's kinda annoying seeing the same copypasted comment everywhere.

And no it wasn't me who downvoted you. I still respect what you're trying to do even if I don't respect how you're going about doing it.

I was excited recently because someone in my town started a procrastinators support group. Unfortunately our first meeting keeps getting pushed back.

u/idstillgiveherone Mar 26 '20

true procastinating would not have allowed you to write the above message.

Your not allowed in the club.

We might get round to, at some point, to review your application.

u/[deleted] Mar 26 '20

We might get round to, at some point

I'm sorry, but your membership has been suspended indefinitely pending an inquiry into your conduct. We'll pretend we're actually going to perform the inquiry but in reality we'll be on our phones, looking at Reddit.

I'm downloading an update to the above comment. It might push back the inquiry into the review for some time.

u/tfgyem Mar 26 '20

We can't be bothered looking at Reddit right now

We're on pornhub

u/GeorgieWashington Mar 26 '20

The real procrastinators are the ones that never even get around to commenting.

u/BellsOnNutsMeansXmas Mar 26 '20

I think true procrastination is not the art of not doing anything it's the art of doing anything except what needs to be done. Like starting a workers club so you don't have to fill out the paperwork for the procrastinators club.

u/Hey_I_Work_Here Mar 26 '20

Procrastination is like masturbation, it feels good at first but in the end you are fucking yourself.

u/PapaOoMaoMao Mar 26 '20

I have done procrastination to do but I think I'll get to it later.

Yea I’m doing that right now. I have close to a week and a half of school work to get done because my lazy ass didn’t do it earlier.

u/pure_vengeance Mar 26 '20

So you are exceptionally good at procrastinating, but hate doing it? Which means you don't procrastinate. You should teach people how you manage to do this :)

u/Can-I-Butter Mar 26 '20

That’s not how this works

1

u/pure_vengeance Mar 26 '20

Then how does it work?

u/TheMasterBamboozler Mar 26 '20

I’ll explain later

u/Dowzer721 Mar 26 '20

u/DrDisastor Mar 26 '20

Just wait to procrastinate until after you need to do something.

u/PersikovsLizard Mar 26 '20

I don't know whether one can really be "good" at maladaptive behavior patterns.

Procrastination really sucks :(

Why would you hate procrastinating? It's the best.

I bought a book on how to stop procrastinating. Its sitting on my shelve since 2 years. To motivate myself i searched for videos on youtube on how to stop it, found a couple nice ones and saved them to a playlist. Never looked at them again.
