I experienced depression that was probably worse than some people who kill themselves. But I was also very afraid of death, of nothingness. I preferred misery to nothingness. At least misery is an experience, at least it's something.
And even if there's something after death it's a complete unknown, why would I want such a major change and throw my life or rather my experience of things into total chaos?
