Oh! That's totally different from what I was thinking! I don't want to cease to exist. I don't even think it is possible to "unexist" yourself. [Please note: I edited my last post regarding the "choosing to be born" etc.--beliefs and opinions alter with experience and understanding, are usually a perpetual work-in-progress.]

If your goal is to cease to exist, you better think long and hard before taking any action and realize that you simply cannot know whether you can even ever cease to exist. If you want to leave the world, you don't really know what is waiting for you on the other side. The information in Erin's blog doesn't sound very bad compared to things you hear in religions about suicide.
I don't know who or what you believe, but if there is a chance you won't find what you're looking for after death, you should first consider seeking out effective ways to make yourself into a person you like.
And remember this: ONCE YOU DO THE DEED, YOU CANNOT UNDO IT.
You can send me a private message if you want to know how I am "fixing" myself.
