I've been blessed to live a pretty privileged life. My family has never been in need of money, my parents haven't, to my knowledge, been abusive. In fact, they completely go against the Asian parent stereotype and only ask that I try my best in whatever I accomplish, perhaps because stress pushed my brother under.
I have a group of friends who are genuinely nice to me, who care about me and try to help me. By all measures, I am extremely lucky and privileged.
It's due to this that I don't feel like I should be feeling suicidal. I know people who have gone through so much more and came out the other side, whereas here I am, with an upbringing that was perfectly normal, still feeling suicidal. I constantly feel like these feelings are just me seeking attention, even though rationally I know they aren't. I have no real reason to ctb besides my mental illnesses.
