People are selfish when they tell you shouldn't CTB because you'll be leaving others behind. It's our choice.

Yeah everyone always wants you to just push on all the time not understanding that you don't see a reason to. I feel like you gotta live just because you gotta i's a piss poor reason. I've found a lot of understanding in this forum thankfully. I hope you find the same. It's helped me to know I'm not alone in these feelings. Also I'm sure youre not a coward

It's kind of weird that with all the knowledge we have on mental illnesses, nearly all people just don't understand why some people don't want to live. I really don't know how to say it, I'm sorry.
If I told people how I really feel, I'm sure they'd ask me: 'Why?'. Normal people just don't understand any of this, and I hate it. I wish I was understood, and that I could talk to someone personally.

It's easier for people to understand stuff like chronic pain, and wanting to stop living because of that, because they can physically see that person in pain, and it's a much more physical and tactile thing to understand than "my brain makes me want to die." People can't quite understand the kind of pain mental illness brings, and since they can't understand it they dismiss it as not being "real pain" or irrelevant.

Those people need to fuck off, for real. I think we are all tired of that kind of crap.

You don't even need to be in emotional pain to understand what's going on in someone else's head. You just need to be a decent human being who doesn't belittle other people problems.

You don't say to someone with ADD to just pay attention.
You don't say to someone with dementia to just remember stuff.
You don't say to someone with asthma to just breathe normally.

Just because working hard makes YOU happy, doesn't mean it will make everyone happy.
Different things make different people happy, and for some nothing guarantees a decent level of happiness for a long enough time. It's not something positive but it's the truth. The sooner we accept it the better it is.

When you ctb or plan to ctb, they'll call you selfish. Like you're not thinking of other people's feelings. The people you'll left behind. They don't understand the pain you're going through because they're not experiencing it. And then they blame you for the way you think. Everyday is hardddddd
