“I want to die “versus “urge to survive.”

One of the popular search terms on Google is, “I want to die.” Very sad, of course, when you consider that (over) life is actually an automatic desire of a living being. Whether you look at it from a religious or spiritual point of view, or from a scientific, evolutionist background: 'I want death' goes against all logic.

Nevertheless, there aremany people, who (once or regularly) seriously think of suicide. People with mental distress, who see no other way out, for example.

The night brother of the rehabilitation department where I was admitted, did his rounds and noticed that I couldn't sleep. Where others of the night shift always asked if I wanted some extra medication to be able to sleep. He left, but came back a few minutes later with a cup of tea to listen to my story on the edge of my bed. Finally, to pray with me. May say: I slept well afterwards (since times). From this side of the screen I wish you too: Happy blessed Christmas and a prosperous but especially Healthy 2022.

Is really really bad. But is becoming more common because sometimes people really don't know how to move on now. You wrote a good article

The searches like this are very sad, we must take into account that the rates have risen, causing more people to look for this

If you don't believe in God, then I think the question of whether you are for or against God is irrelevant.

It's almost normal to see people feeling unmotivated, but that's a lack of emotion of something that fills them.

It is true that the survival instinct must prevail in humans, but there are cases in people who lose a loved one or have feelings of guilt due to certain situations, which motivates them not to want to live, but we must be there to listen to it and give encouragement to that depressed person and show them that life is beautiful and worth living

Well, we must also understand that there are people who are going through a difficult time, many times it is not just looking for an alternative, it is that the roads are closed and only that one remains, which is not the good one but when you are lost you...

It is unfortunate to see that they seek this without seeing how beautiful life is, they are people with negative thoughts who do not seek God.

Well written blog. A listening ear that is given on time can indeed be life-saving in this regard, and perhaps in several respects.

The truth is sad, we must ask for hope for all those people who cross that feeling kisses and hugs from a distance

Depression is a terrible thing, and many people suffer from it, and they manage to do things they regret.

What a nice post this is and indeed this search term is unfortunately more common than we would like. A listening ear is so important, but also really listening and not half.

I wish those who have destructive thoughts of dying should read this beautiful post with kind words of consolidation! ❤️

It is very bad that this is often looked up and that you will find a satisfactory answer to that. For you, God is the answer to that bright spot, for others maybe not.

At this time of the year, I can quite understand that people are craving that decisive step of self-destruction. I also follow the thought which @Dichter in de dop Jeroen den Harder because that's how it's unfortunately a daily event.

Regrettable, I wish we could somehow provide support to these people. Whoever decides that he wants to die must have problems of great magnitude.

Ik kan de mens soms wel begrijpen die deze zoekterm gebruiken, de maatschappij verhardt er kijken weinig mensen nog echt naar elkaar om.

(Helaas) mee eens, Jeroen.
