I think if one day processing my trauma becomes too much to handle, I'll bless myself with suicide

[Water-Lily]

I don't want to have to use coping mechanisms, surround myself with "chosen family" or continue for rigorous work to "heal"

Sometimes it's fine to say "I don't want to keep doing this. I'm done"

and "done" might mean ending it all

I feel this so much. I really don't feel like doing so much more work just to be able to live while still having to slave away like everyone else. And even if I managed to do that, one slip up and I would have start all over.
It's just not worth it in my opinion.

I've definitely had this thought in my head for most of my life. Suicide is the ultimate fallback. It used to feel so comforting until I became actively suicidal and realised how risky most methods are. Now, it's more on the level of life problems. It's an option but one that carries massive risks. Makes a perverse amount of sense that dying would end up just as difficult as living.

Both living and dying are hard.

The only thing I say to myself about death, it's the less complicated option. I like the simplicity of death, compared with all the complexity of modern life. It's one difficult decision, then nothing...

That's what I'm hoping too...
