This turned out to be a jumbled ramble, as usual:

A job wouldn't fix my life. Not even close. Especially if I couldn't keep it. In fact, losing another job would be worse than not getting one at all. All a job would do is trap me in "a life that is unfathomably shit but with the ability for me to sustain it". Whereas if I don't get a job, then it makes the case for CTB 100% unmuddy. 100% justified. There is no reason for my life with a job to continue, let alone without one.

If I got a job and kept it, I would live reluctantly. I dunno what to think. I know I am better off dead than struggling to upkeep a life that is obviously above me. At the same time, I have said to myself that if my life improves this year even in just 1 sphere then I will still set my CTB in motion (suicide note, writing down passwords for others, ordering SN), but I will postpone it. I am a broken man. I have been broken for 2 decades. A job would be a tourniquet on a limb that has lost a lot of blood already. Is limping on worth it or is it time call time of death?

When you get to my age, even if I could make everything start working for me by magic-wand, I am still too late for a lot of things. Is anyone here aware that their advanced age makes recovery almost futile? When you're over a certain age, there is no comeback. There is merely coping.

I agree with you that despite the positivity preached in practice you don't always get a second chance in life. Still it's never certain when (or if) CTB will happen so it's still good to have options in life while we still are alive. So I hope you get it for that reason.

Jobs have increased my suicidal feelings, particularly because they deal so much with the general public and cause me physical pain. As if mental anguish was not enough. I understand where you're coming from. I am currently working and feel less freedom to suicide. What has helped me is to simultaneously plan for both life and death. Planning for death completely and then not completing suicide is a circumstance I wouldn't wish on almost anyone. I hope you find more peace of mind soon.
