Anyone else feels like their life situation doesnt really justify being suicidal?

[iamveryoriginal]

Like i might have had a few distressing experiences but i feel like most people would be able to brush it off and not end up here

 

[spiders.in.my.head]

yeah, i do. frankly, i don't have any right to be suicidal and am all things considered very privileged. but logic and reason have never stopped the shitty feelings. even if i know realistically that i should be grateful and alright, it doesn't change the fact that im not fine.

yeah i def relate. Though again idk if I even know what its like to have shitty feelings, I have done enough to be considered a risk to myself and will probably keep going down this path. Its almost like thats just how ive conditioned my brain to work at this point

Some therapy might be helpful here

No I guess, it's the opposite for me. I believe people will just know my motive without even reading my note. There would be no speculation, just acceptance. Everytime I think about it, I feel ashamed of myself.

I don't think anyone will be surprised when I ctb, but there are many, millions of people who have it worse off than me. I rent an okay house, I'm technically employed but off work due to disability (temporarily, maybe forever), I have a few friends, I have food in the fridge if I could bring myself to eat it. I'm lucky on paper.

Here's what I know:
Over time, we get worn down. And if we don't get the chance (for whatever reason) to build back up (for me it's chronic illness and terrible mental health as a result, with sprinklings of addiction), every little thing is another reason to ctb. Everything is so fucking hard and there's no payoff. I'm able to walk a little each day - today I walked the dog, fell and grazed my knee. Nothing, right? I'm a grown ass woman and it's a knee graze. But It's put me in the foulest mood and I'm looking around for anchor points. There's just such a thin line between what we can take when we have been worn down by life. Some people seem to be able to bounce back. I'm just not one of them.

Sometimes I wonder why the people around me aren't the one commiting. I have a net negative contribution to this earth and I don't get why the people around me aren't bothered enough to commit, and sometimes I feel selfish for being the one who gets to be peaceful.

Yep, not helped at all by my mom saying stuff like "my life was harder and worse than yours but I'm still here, so you shouldn't kill yourself over your experiences because they're nothing compared to mine". Yeah thanks, that makes me feel SO much better and doesn't make me wanna ctb even more (sarcastic)

There's no such thing as needing justification to be suicidal. Human society is shit, that alone is reason enough

 

[alwayspissedoff]

yes, and sadly people will always let you know how good you have it compared to them or someone who suffers more.
my logical side says that no matter the means to how I'm feeling, I'm feeling like shit, I'm suicidal, etc., and that alone should be enough for it to be valid.
but then I think that if I was stronger mentally, maybe smarter, I would know how to put up with the things that happen to me, which makes me feel like it's my fault how I'm feeling for being weak.
I'm in an internal fight between the two, if that makes sense.

There's nothing bad about my life I just dont enjoy it

 

[Forever Sleep]

I imagine other people may feel that about me but, I don't care. My experience and feelings are what I'm stuck with.

There are quite likely many people out there with my negative way of thinking and world view who just get on with it and even go on to do well in life.

Suicide is just my own way out.

 

[Forveleth]

Echoing what has been said a few times here. Suicide is a very personal choice and is ultimately up to the individual to determine if it is the correct course of action. No on needs to justify the choice to take their life, it is their choice alone to make.

On paper, my life looks like the ideal, yet there are circumstances which have made me incredibly miserable to the point where I no longer wish to live. I think this alone is reason enough and do not require outside input or permission.

 

[RosebyAnyName]

I don't think my life situation justifies me being suicidal. I never went through anything normally traumatic like living in a warzone or through a famine, I have a job and an ok financial situation, and I don't have a chronic or debilitating illness. Everything around me has been mostly fine and I think anyone in my position would have turned out fine, the problem is me.

 

[uglymisanthr0pe]

I know exactly what you mean and how u feel. my life isn't so bad, and I find myself pondering that my life is the worst. nothing feels real and everything's so numb. anything good that happens feels like a temporary happiness even if it is big. im losing empathy for this fucked up world. i hate to stereotypical but the world is fucked up. part of my depression is due to what i hear happening around me. it just distresses me even more.

 

[pthnrdnojvsc]

Every human has a right to feel suicidal or any way they want to for any reason as long as they are not violating another being's rights. your thoughts inside your head won't affect anyone else

All actions should be ok as long as they are not violating another being's rights

If I want to kill these monstrous cells they call a human body I'm trapped in , I don't have to give a reason to anyone and it's no one else's business

If I drink Nembutal and die in my house alone I can't violate anything so why is this someone else's business what I do. Why am I restricted from buying Nembutal

Over time, we get worn down. And if we don't get the chance (for whatever reason) to build back up (for me it's chronic illness and terrible mental health as a result, with sprinklings of addiction), every little thing is another reason to ctb. Everything is so fucking hard and there's no payoff.

that makes a lot of sense, i hadn't thought about it like that before. like anything else, i guess humans can also get worn down.
hard relate on the "everything is hard, another reason to ctb, with no payoff".
