I am fortunate enough to have a handful of people around me that care about me and would be devasted if I CTB, I really don't want to inflict emotional distress or trauma/regret upon them and I cant internally justify hurting them. The thought of them feeling regret over something that I never even talked to them about (Ideation) really gets to me.
On the other hand, I also have this hope (false or not) that I would be able to enjoy life again and if I CTB, I will never get to do that.
At the same time, as I'm sure you are all familiar, it just simply hurts to keep living.
I guess what I am trying to ask is has anyone managed to come to peace with leaving their loved ones traumatized and not allowing hope to overpower your ideation?
