I know this, cause i've already done it in the past. I honestly think once you've done that, your capable of anything. It took me a few years to undo that mental conditioning (more like defense mechanism). Now here's the thing that i don't know. Would i give up? I know i'm capable of accepting the situation , dealing with it, and pressing on. However, in a situation where pressing on is my decision to make and not one made for me, (where quiting was never an option) would i say to myself, "Well, this is it, it ain't getting any better. It's a world of excrement, and it just aint worth the struggle to continue.". Would i say that to myself (and i can see myself thinking it) put my pistol to my head and put myself out of my misery? Or would i fight on? THAT, i don't know.



As an aside, along with us on the doomsday train is National Geographic. If you have an hour and a half to kill, they have this interesting ehh.. documentary? Someone posted on youtube.

"In the year 2210, scientists uncover the ruins of a great civilization - so powerful one could argue it dwarfed anything that came before it. Sifting through the wreckage of cities overtaken by the desert and swallowed up by the sea, they piece together a remarkable story of collapse - the story of what on Earth happened to us."


Yeah, lets see someone doomsday prep for THAT.

Hard to say on the suicide thing in such a situation surely the feeling would come to mind it is a true unknown until one is in that moment having experienced what they have in such a world gone to hell.

I recall that NatGeo show for such a thing no matter if you prepped or not you would sooner or latter be truly fighting to survive to say the least.
