I've mentioned before (as many others have) about the guilt I feel about leaving loved ones behind. But there's another form of guilt that plagues me.
My life is not awful when compared to many others. I have a decent job. I'm married. I have a cute puppy. My mother loves me immensely. I have never been abused. I've never been homeless. I've never suffered with addiction. Yes, I've had my struggles, and honestly they are more than I can bear. But so many people seem to have it so much worse. And they persevere.
Sometimes, I feel like what right do I have to take my life when others have had things so much worse? What right do I have to complain? I feel immense guilt about it, and I've come to believe it's one of the things holding me back from ctb. Does anyone else feel this way?
