What makes you tick?

What makes you tick? What makes you want to live and go on with your life instead of just stopping it and dying? Is it because of some promise in a  religious book? Or is it that you have life goals that you want to complete before your death? 

I've been having some... trouble... the past few days and I am really interested in the responses.

In the context you are asking, what makes me tick is the urge to gain pleasure.

There's not many reasons I want to live. I'm kind of like a recovering alcoholic in the regards of me just finding one thing to do the next day to make life worth living. The biggest factor preventing me from ending it all is maybe curiosity. I always want to know more than I already do, and would never kill myself if I thought I might learn something.

When I need an immediate meaning I freerun, or I teach free runners in training, or I eat junk food.

There is so much about the universe to learn, and there is so many places in it to run, so you should never feel the need to kill yourself. That site I told you about has an abundance of information so you got that.

Exactly! I'd never have to end because I'll never discover the beginning of existence or how life came to be. If I could find that I could rest peacefully, but since I can not have to live.

I don't really want to live to be honest. Without going into my whole life story I am prone to severe depression, and only a feeling that I'm "here" with some purpose, big or small, drives me. Hopefully, one day with that, it will get better.

Have you ever tried talking to someone, perhaps a professional... it scares me when somebody tells me they don't want to live...

I was talking to a therapist for a few months, but that didn't help much. It was in fact, probably making it worse for me.

How can I support you? .

Ask Yeshua in prayer. He always answers those who have a relationship with him.

The universe wants me dead. I'm to ornery to let it have its way with me ;)

Life is enjoyable, simple as that. I'd rather exist than not exist, yes that is based on desire. so what? I eat the candy because of the deliciousness of the candy, does not make the deliciousness any less subjective does it?

If you are have MDD, you should perhaps look into a psychologist or something, I have a friend with MDD, he talks of suicidal thoughts and it scares me to be honest... If you do have MDD as I know that you may not, I'm just saying if you do, the best way to avoid those thoughts as I have heard from others with MDD is to find things in life to distract yourself. My friend likes to skateboard, my other friend whom is less wise IMO does a shitload of drugs...

it sounds like me and your friend that do alot of durgs get along pretty well.... just kidding kcick his ass and send him to rehab

no kidding right... there are some drugs (not many) that I am honestly ok with, and I don't think are hugely consequential but the drugs my friend does... ugghhh it scares me, I hope he outgrows it to be honest.

What boils my blood and makes me want to tear shitupmore than anything else is police abusing their power and getting off scotch free, taking away the lives of people who really weren't doing anything that harmful

FUCKING GOD DAMNIT PISSES ME OFF

you really really really want to know what makes me tick..... the whole damn world

Lack of proof.

Hope of enlightenment, and the thought that I can make the world a better place.

That is so... ringard.

The desire to serve Yeshua, get married, and get laid. .

Do you ever ask Yeshua in prayer about what his plan for you is? Did he say that getting married and getting laid was his will?
