Venting I feel like an impostor.

[Nat.]

Every time I meet a new psychiatrist or psychologist and they ask me what's wrong, I tell them that I've always been depressed and that I've always wanted to die. And it's true. Ever since I was eleven, everything has been horrible. But now I'm thirty-four, and I still haven't killed myself. People die every day. So why haven't I? If I'm so certain about it, if it's a rational decision, why am I still here? It's incredibly frustrating.

Right now, I'm undergoing treatment in a hospital because it's a requirement if I want to apply for euthanasia: I have to prove that I've tried to get better. I know they won't grant it because I'm too young and mental illness isn't taken seriously in Spain. Do I want to apply precisely because I know they won't grant it? Everything about this feels ridiculous and humiliating.

I feel so much contempt for myself for not doing it, for continuing to expose myself to this misery year after year. The thought of having to endure another twenty years, or however many more, alive, terrifies me.

If killing oneself was a cakewalk we would not be alive

Thank you for replying <3

It seems so easy for some people, and I've been thinking about this for so many years that I don't understand what needs to happen for me to just be able to do it and get it over with... I'm scared of living many more years and having the deterioration of my body and mind leave me crazy and alone, living on the streets (I don't have any family or a profession), eating dick for 30 euros. I was a sex worker for 10 years, and it seems like the only way to get money quickly if my life keeps going to shit and I don't stop it.
