The thing with death, though, is that a footprint of your life would still be left behind. Loved ones that would mourn your loss, embarrassing moments that people would still remember. But there’s a third option that’s not temporal like sleep, and doesn’t leave hurt behind like death. If you’re watching this video right now, chances are you’ve flirted with this third option; you’ve had the desire to not exist. What exactly is this feeling? How does it differ from death? And what can it teach us about life?

If you are struggling, consider reaching out to a family member or a professional.

The fact that being born is not a choice is so depressing

I'd be curious to see a poll about how much of the world's population would honestly prefer not to exist.

A big issue for me is, I never asked to be born.
I never wanted to be born, I never wanted to exist, yet I was thrown into this world, a family with a lot of struggles. But no one can choose their parents.

We go to the void and come from it. Desire to not exist is just nostalgia.

I had memory loss from a head injury when I was 15, maybe a week and a half completely erased. Yet, somehow, when my memory returned I was aware that time had passed and could almost feel that my consciousness had taken a rest, it was turned off. I think this is closest I’ll get to not existing, and I’ll admit it was quite peaceful. I felt like my soul had rested somehow.

I often have the desire to sleep because then you have the feeling of not existing or no active thinking which is pleasing.

I'm suicidal, but I also fantasize about never having existed at all. Thank you for making this video.

"And I declared that the dead,
who had already died,
are happier than the living,
who are still alive.
But better than both
is the one who has never been born,
who has not seen the evil
that is done under the sun."

-Bible

I’m too compassionate to bring another life into this world. I work, struggle, and endure for a living; doesn’t mean I have to bring a new life to do the same.

I lost my 13-year-old daughter to suicide six months ago. As a form of self-therapy and means to try and help other people, I've been creating videos in which I explore nature and narrate my journey with grief. Content like this is also tremendously helpful. Thank you for taking the time to share this with the world.

I have never found a reason for “not wanting to exist”. Even when I’m happy, I still wish I didn’t exist. I don’t want to die, that would be the end of my life. I just simply wish to not have been born.

not existing is something I’ve been thinking about for a while now.

in my life I’ve always felt like a side character, and that I was never enough. the thought of all that pain & suffering, the embarrassment, and all your responsibility’s never existing sounds peaceful. but on the other hand, all that you’ve worked for, all of your fond memories with friends & loved ones would be erased from your memory too.

I’m pretty sure most teenagers my age would agree that they have felt some way about this feeling, but never told anyone because then they’d get labeled as suicidal.

The worst part about life is its not consensual

Ur forced into life and then forced to live by the rules of others with no freedom to do what you want unrestricted

Other people created you
Other people rule you

Sometimes I wish I could just take a break from life just rip my soul from my body or just teleport somewhere else
Constantly questioning why this place

I ask why we exist but we never asked to exist we were forced to exist by our parents who created us

They never asked if we wanted to exist they also can’t ask either but if we made the choice to not exist why is that seen as bad

We’re forced to live literally and by also not being allowed to die

You created me without my consent but I can’t die without yours
Why do you have say in my existence and whether or not I can or can’t end it

Why are we forced to live and why is it seen as bad to want to end a life you never wanted
It’s my life not yours but the truth is it isn’t my life cuz my life exists because of somebody else

Whatever pain death would bring others is forced they wouldn’t even feel pain if they or I or both never existed

Especially when people have kids on accident
You didn’t plan and or want kids and now they are forced to not only live but also live with the fact they basically never were supposed to exist

Life quite literally isn’t fair
But at least death is

There was a few years in my childhood where I was genuinely mad at my mom for giving birth to me in our broken family, poverty stricken life, but I got over it eventually.

honestly I don't even like sleeping anymore because I know I'll wake up and I have no idea whether or not I'll feel more miserable and tired than the time I fell asleep or feel somewhat better
