31 and pretty fed up here

I'm thinking 30

 

[JustAMatterOfTime]

For me looking back at my life it would be 20. From then it has been totally downhill and now I just exist I don't live.

 

[bloomingdark]

I'm eighteen and honestly don't wanna make it through my twenties

 

[Odwin]

I would say 0, but you often can't get what you want

Absolutely.

weirdly I can remember being 16 and telling my friend how I would probably commit suicide at 28. I'm 28 now. Weird thing is I can't remember being suicidal at any point in my late teens or early twenties, just in the last couple of years. Was it some kind of premonition or dark prediction? i dunno.

i don't think there's a best age, all I know is that the older you get, the less opportunities are available and the more physical decay you have to endure.... maybe 40 is the last point of hope?

Better not to have been born in the first place.
Seriously, it differs from person to person it depends what the circumstances are. I'm 20 and that's long enough for me.

I wanted that sweet exit at around 16. I had evidence enough to conclude my ontological deviation from a slavish, content human being. The kind of inclination that can only cause suffering and that psychs can't treat since it's inseparable from existence. In the absence of answers I've settled on acting irrationally like some self-sabotaging caricature.

If I had just embraced the teenage hormonal chaos I could have actually CTB without all this additional existential fluff appended. It's like I've grown a tumor since then and he's evolved into a sick, jaded old man, who reminds me of his presence with psychosomatic symptoms. A potentially beautiful few days leading up to a thought out suicide were taken from me. That is enough reason for me to spit on any argument made against suicide, from any member of this alien race I'm forced to communicate with daily. That decision was supposed to be my last possession but it was abducted.

Human consciousness is the most hellish thing the universe has randomly devised. It moves on nothing but desire and creates so many cruel games. All of these games are delusion and become substitutes for truth by wide participation. At their root they're enforced by guns and knives. I don't care about some imaginary future where this tribal game is merely a choice. The "pro-life" lawmaking mob is the sneering face of humanity showing its pure disdain and disgust for anything and everything casting shadows of doubt over the tea party.

There isn't even equality in the dying process. Look how many people they're pushing toward some violent method. Criminals in politics backed by the law and excused because inaction in the face of pain isn't a big deal. These are the worst kind. ""Pro-life"" indeed, only we're not all living the SAME LIFE, are we?!

I don't think there the perfect age. You should have well thought about your decision and the consequences. However for me it would have been some years ago i guess.
