Well, well said everybody. This is getting to be a bit like a Samaritans bulletin board.

Any uptake on the Woodstock idea???

I guarantee if you do this, that your friends & family will experience all the despair & hopelessness you are feeling now... times 10.

Your solution to the fear of the future, is to pass the buck to your loved ones.

You'll be done, but they not only get to live your nightmare for you, but get to do it filled with the despair, depression & guilt you will lay on their doorstep.

I promise that the pain & despair you feel today, is nothing compared to the pain & suffering you will visit on the people who care about you.

If you knew just how painful it would be for your loved ones, you would gladly accept ANY alternative, even your own suffering.

Or put another way...

What are you willing to endure, to save your loved ones from suffering?

I know what my answer is... anything.
The problem is, of course, that not only is economics bankrupt, but it has always been nothing more than politics in disguise... economics is a form of brain damage.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '
')I got the impression you might be religious? You mentioned earlier that you want to get to Heaven quicker - and I'm not a religious person so I'm not 100% sure - I don't think they let you in if you topped yourself.

Suicide is a sin, and according to DamienJasper’s religion will damn him to eternal suffering in Hell. Therefore the logic of killing yourself to end the pain and get to heaven is flawed – if you are truly religious, then you must believe that the eternal suffering you will go through in hell will be far worse then what you currently experience.

Seriously DJ, read some anti peak oil sites. The situation isn’t as bad as the doom hysteria makes it out to be. No one knows what the future holds.


This kind of thing highlights how dangerous the peak oil doomer movement is. I’m glad most people don’t know about PO.

Aaron et. al. is right. These ppl will never recover. They will be broken forever. Forever. Your folks, your siblings, anyone else that loves you.

If you want to help them, you will get help for yourself. You owe it to them.

DJ, I too suffer from clinical depression/anxiety. But everybody here is right; your family will need you. If you are right about the future you will be vitally important to your family. PO in my opinion is a huge problem for industrial civilisation but it isn't really any more of an individual problem for people than life is anyway. People from any background can go off the rails and fail to cope with life.

The advice about medication is good, I'm on medication myself and it is helping. I'm certainly not religious; believe it or not I think this helps me, I value life, both my own and of all living things, I don't see death as an escape to anywhere; it's merely the worst thing that can happen for all involved - the end of hope.

heh, heh. Must have been nearly a year ago when DJ came on board with his maudlin self-flagellating tales of woe. He was going to do himself in back then, too. Now I see he's 'on the brink' again. Part of the peakoil.com show. Stay tuned for the next episode 6 months from now! Maybe he'll do a lorenzo and tell us he's posting from hell.

More to the point....
Who cares? Hundreds of thousands of people die every day. Quite honestly, I dont have time to feel sorry for every person who dies. And especially if those people dont want to live.
If you dont want to live, save us all your weepy teary eyed grief and go get it over with. Theres alot of other people out here who has this thing called "Real Life" to deal with. If you dont have the intestinal fortitude to handle it, all the better for us. Hell, you'll delay Peak Oil by another 10 seconds.

Self flagellating?

I'll get to everyone's comments in time. I'm busy right now though (my mother just lost her job so I've got to be with her at the moment).

Anyhow, thanks for the input. But I don't recall saying anything about doing myself in 6 months ago. But most of the responses, while well meaning (and appreciated) seem to indicate that no one read my posts closely enough.

Back in awhile. Thanks for the input.

Personally, I don't see where the whole "future might now be THAT bad" idea comes from. Has anyone else here read Life After the Oil Crash? Is Matt Savinar not a well educated and believable source?

Men stand up when there's actually a reason to struggle and fight. This is a futile effort. Maybe in Teutonic mythology it's heroic. In reality, it's pointless.

Spec_op I think you've finally gone over the edge. But you have to be a toughie don't you cause with all those guns you've amassed if you offed yourself what would become of them?

Spear: same to you...sort of.

I'm with Evltre, go talk to a professional cause Aaron has it right on the nose there is no way you could get your family to agree to something as wasteful as killing yourself. Then your mother would likely cry herself to sleep everynight torturing herself with memories of you growing up and saying I love you for the first time.

Families who loose someone never recover. EVER. Either you are depressed or you are in torment, either way there are things you can do. But you have to do them, no one else can save you. so repay your mothers love and take the bull by the horns. and Good Luck

See? It's all luck.

Never recover? No shit, we're all going to starve to death. We're going to lose each other soon anyway. Unless of course you can disprove what LATOC/Savinar says. I dont' see how that will happen. But at least we'll get to say goodbye.

Cry herself to sleep? I practically do that already. Call me a pussy, but this deluge of information has drained my resolve. I have nightmares day and night. What kind of an existence is that?

The same existence you will be choosing to inflict upon your loved ones if you are so selfish. As someone who has just lost a loved one in the last two months, I can tell you that it is the hardest thing imaginable to go through. My loved one died from illness - not such a selfish act as you are pondering. Yet, it is still the hardest thing I have ever been through.

Knowing that you would purposely put your family through that kind of torture means that you are incredibly selfish, have little regard for their feelings, and are an attention whore. Your last big hurrah? Why bother to talk with them at all then? What do you honestly think? They're going to give you their blessing? Get real, man. Go see a doctor, get on some medications, or check yourself into a psychiatric facility, and quit messing about on these forums. You're obviously not listening to anyone here anyway.

Hey Mr DJ!

Seeking help from the internet! Now that really is crazy!

Yeah, life is shit, then you die. You ain't gonna find any logic that says not. So get some proper medical help man, or quit yer trolling!

Albente style gratuitous and largely pointless pic:

Meaningful song lyrics:


We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,
Running over the same old ground. What have you found? The same old fears.
Wish you were here.

Shine on You Crazy Diamond
where you are, how near or how far.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Pile on many more layers and I'll be joining you there.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
And we'll bask in the shadow of yesterday's triumph, and sail on the steel breeze.
Come on you boy child, you winner and loser, come on you miner for truth and delusion,
and shine!


Listening to the poet makes life worth living.

But watch out for the Great Circling Poets - they lure with tales of doom.

You don't know this. I'm as much of a doomer as anybody; but there is no way you can know you and your family are going to starve to death. They most likely have a better chance with you than without as long you get some help with your perspective and mental state. It IS your mental state that is at issue - believe me - I know.

Existence is whatever you make of it; you can find value in your life no matter what it is you do or where fit in or otherwise. The knowledge of PO really isn't your problem - it's not knowing what to do with it because you're unable to think straight.

Has nothing to do with being over the edge. Has to do with the simple fact that I dont have time to feel sorry for every damned person in this world that doesnt have the car they want, doesnt have ther house they want or ends up dead. Do you feel sorry for someone who dies who you dont know, have never met, would have never met and dont even know his name?? Bad shit happens all the time in the world. Its life. Too bad, so sad. Move on.

Now whats rather funny is, most agree we'll have a die off. Most agree we need population reduction.
And yet most tell this guy to hang in there, it'll be ok.
Well I say if there has to be a die off we need to get rid of the weak first. We need to ensure only the best, brightest and sharpest of us survive. Obviously someone who mopes around on the internet being depressed doesnt meet that criteria do they?
