I can relate so hard to this OP. my partner is on the autism spectrum, he relies on me. He's not able to be independent. If I ctb, he's all on his own. Plus we're going to be homeless soon. If I ctb, then he has to be homeless all by himself. I can't do that to him. I just can't. I love him with all my being, and it breaks my heart that that love is trapping me into a life of suffering.
I want to die. But I'm sacrificing a potentially more peaceful suicide to die a much more horrible death in homelessness so that he doesn't have to go through it alone. Although I have a lot of fear that I will still die somehow and still leave him all alone and it's destroying my sanity. I care for him so much that it hurts. And the idea of doing anything that hurts him, is only increasing my survival instinct. Which is making me more afraid, more mentally ill, more in pain and more wanting to ctb. But I can't do that and my brain can't reconcile these feelings anymore. I'm hysterical most of the time now and I cry almost every time I look into his eyes.
