Over the past year, increased regulatory pressure in multiple regions like UK OFCOM and Australia's eSafety has led to higher operational costs, including infrastructure, security, and the need to work with more specialized service providers to keep the site online and stable.

It's like I can't decide if I want to keep trying or just end it. I've tried so hard already. But it feels like nothing's changing. My partner says I can't make any progress if I keep considering suicide as an option. I feel like I keep getting closer to giving up every day.
I think your partner is onto something. The most helpful thing for me was spending hours practicing thinking of all the worst things I could and NOT considering suicide as an option. It was hard. I did a lot of that work during a 3 week psych inpatient stay and it stuck with me. Even now, months later I still have that ability to block the suicidal thoughts.

Amidst all the darkness, it is great that you have your partner who seems to genuinely care.
If I am interpreting your message correctly, you seem to be feeling as if in a limbo. This is how I have been feeling lately - a toxic mixture of fatalism and optimism. Not enough strength to face life head on (too many disappointments in a short period of time) but at the same time a refusal to believe that there's only bad stuff coming my way... It's as if the universe, for some reason, wants me to understand that I can't die, but I can't live either... As if I've reached maximum entropy and don't know how to reset. I don't know...
It seems that the wisest strategy is to hold on and hope that things will get better eventually. This has happened in the past. This time I am so conscious about my suffering and not so naĂŻve about people anymore, and this makes it uniquely unbearable. But still, if I can't CTB (too hesitant and unmotivated, perhaps afraid), I guess I will try to wait it out, the same way you do with some illnesses.
I hope that sharing these feelings of mine helps you in some way.
