I definitely feel much urgency to ctb/die. There is greater suffering ahead of me if I live and I don't want to go through it. But I also can't ctb without directly and greatly, harming someone I love and care about more than the world, possibly leading to them losing their life as well. And I just can't bring myself to do that as the person I am.
So I continue to exist. Trapped. Trapped by fear and love. Wanting to die, but having to wait for an agonizing natural death.
I definitely understand wanting to die asap. You're not alone feeling that all the time.
May I ask what keeps you here? (No pressure to answer)
Hi,
My situation is very similar to yours.
I don't want to be here and I feel trapped.
I'm having more horrible days than survivable days.
My spouse has a serious, progressive illness and deserting him would be really difficult. But in a way, I never give myself the credibility that I also am broken emotionally and staying here every day is unbearable suffering.
When do I put myself first?
At various times in my life, I have stayed here to avoid hurting other people and that reason it's just not good enough anymore.
I am also here, because I cannot bear more suffering and the methods available lead to suffering.
The word, trapped, is where I am.
