In the case of the theoretical illusory continuity that we're talking about, it would be impossible to end a moment, since every instant of time is another "you" that can't be disrupted by it. It wouldn't matter if continuity was objectively illusory, because it would be subjectively real to "you". In fact it would allow the "You" you've had your whole life to continue past even a worst case pure disintegration, as long as the information is preserved. The saved information would be all that would be needed to effectively continue subjective continuity on the other side.
But regardless, it's not the thought experiment that makes me uncomfortable (if it were true, I would have died a near infinite amount of times while subjectively feeling just fine).
It's more of your choice of words on life in general (and on transient life).
If I were given a single moment to live, and told that my moment of living would give birth to another being who would remember me, I wouldn't feel horrified, I would feel glad in that moment. Glad I got to exist, if even for a second, glad I got to impact the future, and remember a past. It would be meaningful because I subjectively gave it meaning. In this moment, I am euphoric. Not because of any phony god's blessing. But because, I am enlightened by my intelligence.
but that aside I do not have the professional qualification to respond to suicide ideation, I'm out and I hope you feel better :mao-wave:
