Do you think your suicide could be prevented ?

[ForgottenAgain]

I think mine could. My life derailed when my mother died young and her death could have been, if not preventable, at least severely delayed. Hadn't she died so young, I know my life's path would have been different. I doubt it would have prevented depression, but I'm confident I would have been in a better state.

Currently, I think my ctb can be prevented, if I manage to have a stable life and somehow cure my sad brain. I need some years without misery to have the chance to make a breakthrough. A stable house, that I can stay for several years so I get to feel at home, a stable job for both of us...are the things I want. I don't even care about friendships anymore. I've been lonely for years, I've tried so damn hard, there are no friends to be made. So at least let me have a place long enough to call home and a job that isn't firing people every year...

Maybe! Certain material conditions like having a partner and not feeling the same social isolation would help but I don't think they'd ever improve the main reason I'd like to CTB which is all the different ways I'm deficient just as a human being. It's the same reason I'm still suicidal despite years of therapy + interventions, no amount of talk therapy can change that there's a baseline of me being quantifiable lesser than others in key ways of functioning (IQ, relationships, creativity, social functioning, etc etc etc). I would maybe have a reason to stay longer but it wouldn't change what makes my life worth less to live than a normal person's.

I think the timing could be potentially delayed, but I'm tired of pretending I won't be dealing with my mental health issues for the rest of my life. There will never come a day where I won't feel like this-- the severity might change, but the suffering is the same. I've been asking myself, how many years should I wait before I can comfortably say I gave living my best shot?

Maybe, because it does depend mainly on a person, and if I can keep on believing in that person and in us. Time is also a factor, whether I'd be able to keep myself going mentally and financially for as long as I need to keep the belief alive. Up until then, everything just seems wrong, my world is upside down and incomplete, I have trouble focusing and getting through days, it's like sand running through an hourglass.

MIne is inevitable ...

STEVE HOLT!

(Sorry, I don't mean to be insensitive, I just couldn't resist. Wishing you peace!)

If someone years ago had showed up i think so. If someone had genuinely sat with me when I was at my lowest back then. If they had screamed louder than the pain yes I feel I would have had more fight. If the only option wasn't saving myself or giving in. I fought too long on saving myself. I just don't have fight left. I'm giving it to June 17th 2026 to try one last time. But I just feel to weak to see past that date. I can't fight by myself.

Unless I came into this world as a neurotypical with zero mental illnesses and I was better looking and had a less shitty childhood, no. Can't even go back in time to fix that. I was doomed from the start lol
