Whether or not your suffering is justified or not is up to you. I don't have any say in it and I don't really see it as an objective topic but that's once again why I ask to what extent are you willing to intentionally suffer in the vain hope that you might be able to change your life in ways you thought were not possible. You know, by channeling that suffering make it worth something. Obviously I have no idea what you've been through, and it's with that I'm assuming a worst case scenario. And to be honestly i worry about that as well (having a low IQ) but worrying just causes unnecessary suffering and I've decided if given the choice, I want to suffer for something that brings meaning.
I mean well btw, I'm sorry if I came off strong or if I sound ignorant or up myself but I'm just genuinely trying to help. The sum of all my life experience has gone into that. And I hate seeing people suffer needlessly
I am sorry for misunderstanding you. And I am sorry for being unkind to you.
I spent much of my life pursuing the answer to your question. My suicidal thoughts began when I were eleven. I had faced abusive from both family members, people of authority, and my peers. Before that point and after. I continued to live because I believed it will get better. I still believe for the vast majority of people it will get better.
This life had other ambitions. It got worse. The bullying and the abuse. Pain begets more suffering. It is an extensive story I told on occasion. I channeled my pain and it gave only more painful memories. The worse affect is if things somehow did change the memories of the past have remained with me. Quiet moments are taken by reliving the past. I can never feel safe. Even as I have isolated myself from the outside world. From the majority of people in my life. I am still there.
This forum has extended my life. The day I made this account I was going to overdose on medications I stolen. I could share my self harming, and feel safe knowing someone out there heard my story. Twelve years of self harming and pain in silence. I do not need to do that anymore. To get the pain off my chest has made life easier to continue.
I do not have an answer to your question. I do not know if continuing will amount to anything. But here has made it easier to try to continue to keep living. One day I may be able to give you an answer.
