Death never turned on me

Is anyone else hanging on because they want to help family? If so, how are you dealing with the horrible urge to die since you can't die before you help them? That's my situation.
The suicidal thoughts just won't go away no matter what I do. I vowed to give myself more time just to see if things can change
(I know they won't) but also mainly my brother needs help and I'd want to make sure he's alright before I leave this earth.
Time being extended however, is crippling me. I've never in my life been in a place where I couldn't escape the bad thoughts, but after four long years and on going, that's where I am. I've finally learned to just tune out the "it gets better" people and learned to be realistic when you hit this point. I'm 25, and the idea of living past 26 is becoming more and more terrifying. Part of me is worried when I take the N I could be found, even if I plan it right. Perhaps that's just my irrational fears because I also fear it won't be painless and I'm a bit worried but I think that's natural with any suicide method. I worked hard to be able to buy N, and so I know I need to just not focus on my tiny amounts of anxiety. Heartbreak and loss of family are my main reasons for committing suicide, and each day it's like the depression becomes stronger, darker, and rips me right under. I wish I was just not like this, but therapy and all that bullshit just stopped working after so many years and my body in terms of meds builds up tolerance QUICK, hence why I've been on so many different things. My body and mind most certainly do not want me to be here, but all I can think of is my brother. I'm trying to hold out to make sure I can help him and yes I know I should just only focus on myself, but he's a little kid in a bad situation. I'm trying to hang on to make sure I get him out of there before I off myself. It's hard when you want to stay to help an innocent child because they're your family because you don't know how long assisting them could take

Ensuring my best friend is in a "good position" after I'm gone is the reason I'm still here. For me, I found that taking out some life insurance policies is what's keeping me alive. Once the last policy passes its suicide clause ill be exiting life, and my buddy will be financially secure.

If you can hold on for 2 years (the time the policy needs to be active for before it covers suicide) than I'd strongly consider it. Your young enough that life insurance should cost you next to nothing.

I'm not hanging on to help him exactly but I don't want to ctb while my Dad is still here. I just don't think he'd get over it and I love him too much to put him through that.

Don't get me wrong- I don't think that anyone who ctb is selfish- or that they don't care about their loved ones enough. I kind of see it like a balance- for those who go ahead and do it- the balance has tipped to a point where they simply CAN'T hang on anymore. I know I'm not there yet (thankfully) and I hope I can just keep treading water until I'm free to go. Still, it honestly is getting harder.

I hope you are able to get to a point where your brother is in a better situation.

This place is starting to feel like a lifeline to be honest. It's nice to be able to talk about such difficult and kind of depressing things without feeling guilty that you are bringing everyone down or frightened that people will start treating you differently.

For some reason I thought it'd be a good idea to have my best friend and another one of our friends move in with my asshole of a dad and myself. I'm afraid of what my dad will do if I kick the bucket and it's very hard to find housing around here. I also just got in a bit of an argument with his girlfriend (She kinda called me out on being toxic and dependent, which was 100% accurate and the truth kinda hurt) and kinda excommunicated myself from the friend group. So now I'm double worried that if I ctb too soon that there will be blame passed around as well as my dad making their lives hell and possibly throwing them on the street. It's been getting bad and I've wanted to CTB for a while now, but now that I've got no social circle my mental state is getting even worse and I'm not really sure what to do about it other than lots of drinking.
