Suicide Justification

Thinking you could possibly truly know what lies after death is not logical in even the remotest sense and your specific conclusion about it is entirely contradictory to all accepted scientific knowledge, aka verifiable reality. What I'm trying to tell you is this basic premise is fundamentally flawed in an obvious manner indicating you are not thinking clearly and should not be debating(or of course committing) anything as drastic and irreversible as suicide.

This example is from a ted talk, in which David Eagleman at 15.55 explains the relativity of reality. I recommend watching the whole thing.
It seems even harder to dispute when computers can simulate a bigbang.

Nothing about being able to simulate the big bang(and no, we can not do this fully) in any way or anything Eagleman said should make you think you are sure, or even fairly certain that human consciousness continues after death. It is just an idea you like. Seriously. Do not confuse religion or even educated philosophical musings about the nature of human existence with hard science. It is nothing of the sort.

Suicide to me is a debate in logic.
Debates are explicitly prohibited here in SW by the sidebar guidelines. This place is about support. This is a worthy subject, but here is not the right place for it, sorry.

So if I logically decide I should die it's ok?

I didn't mean that at all. But if you want a philosophical debate, this is not the place for it. If you want support and understanding, we will try to provide it.

Think of all the people you'd be leaving behind. Those people would have to deal with your suicide for the rest of their lives.
Please get professional help. If you're thinking of killing yourself right now, call 911. Things can get better, I promise.

Do you see a therapist? If not, please do. Therapy and medication have made a big difference for me, they can do the same for you.

Just try picking it up. You never know, you might feel better afterward.
I know it might sound scary (when I was an alcoholic, I dreaded being sober) but please consider cutting back on the alcohol. Your life will be much better without it.

Because I want to help you and others like you. I'm sorry if it's not working.
