I suppose we all feel the need to justify why we want to CTB. Even if it's to ourselves and no one else. What I don't entirely get is why: 'Ive had enough of this' isn't reason enough (for normies anyhow.) It's surely saying- I find my situation intolerable and I can't see a way of adequately fixing it. Isn't that the crux of the matter for everyone, no matter their individual circumstances?
I don't really get the argument against that. Maybe it is the mental illness argument: It's only your ill brain telling you that things are so shit and unfixable. But, it still kind of ignores our personal experience. Besides- what good does it do if they can't fix our 'broken' brains?!! You don't say to a chronically ill cancer patient- it's only the cancer making you feel this shit. But, sorry, we can't seem to cure it, so you're just going to have to try and stay positive.
I suppose I wish they'd just be honest and admit that this isn't about us. It can verge on magical thinking to believe that a person with long-term problems/ depression/ ideation is all that likely to make some miraculous recovery- especially if they themselves don't have the motivation to try to. I wish they'd just be truthful and say it's about them, not us. They want us to stick around, no matter how bad things are for us.
