Help Having really mixed feelings..

[DegenerateLoser]

Is eighteen too young to take my own life? I really have no intention of living as I lost everything but at the same time I am really young and I feel like I am wasting away so much by committing suicide at my current age.

I really need help coping with the fact that I am only a young adult and my life is already coming to an end.

You're an adult and no one can tell you what to do as far as suicide. I will say as an older person your life is going to change a lot if you give it a chance. Suicide will always be there always be an option. Maybe you should consider trying to live?

No, imo there is no such thing as "too young" to decide you want to end your suffering. However, if you're having "mixed feelings," then I would say it might be worth reconsidering; when I made my last attempt, I was as close to 100% certain as a biological organism with a survival instinct can get. More to the point, I felt utterly at peace with my decision. At peace with all that I would leave behind, at peace with the void I was heading towards, and at peace with how much I had lived up to that point. I believe you're "ready" when you feel that kind of peace. So if you aren't there yet, you might need to give it some more time.

I agree with what was said about you being an adult, and that in the end, the decision to end your suffering is yours alone to make.

That said, I also think that if you're feeling uncertain or confused about this kind of decision, I probably wouldn't go through with it just yet. The option to catch the bus will most likely still be there later on.

Life can take some unexpected turns, and time might lead you to a better place if you're willing to hold on a little longer. At least, that's what I can say from my own experience.

Only you can decide if life is worth living. I was just a child when I tried ctb for the 1st time on the night of my 13th birthday due to physical and verbal abuse and neglect. Honestly, from my earliest memories, I knew my life was and would continue to be hell and I was NOT wrong. I also can honestly say I never had any hesitation about ctb, even as a child. This is what makes me think perhaps you can salvage things because you have that hesitation. Your life, opportunities and resources may be different. I wish you peace and happiness wherever you can find it.

I agree. My only issue all these years has been accessing a method I prefer (even now as an adult) but, even as a child on my first attempt on the night of my 13th birthday, I had NO HESITATION after years of abuse and neglect. The hesitation here tells me there is hope in some form/way. I hope there is.
