Really stressed and overwhelmed and casually suicidial.
It's not just because of my past, but because I see no future for myself. I only find happiness in videogames and weed and my retail job never will be enough for me to live on my own. Coworker worked there for 20 years and his salary is only $3 higher than me, I was here for a short few years. Raises are rare.
My unrealistic fantasy is that I want to have a wife and adopted children and live in a small town near an urban community where I can buy fresh produce and make vegetable dishes. I want to own a dog to walk in a park and get the love I put in them reflected back to me. I want my life to have some kind of meaning but I feel like a failure on all corners.
I want to be able to freely talk about my abuse, I want to be free. I can't be free physically. I want hope. Please I want hope. I'm not forced to end my life, it is my choosing, and I have it in thought for the endless amounts of suffering I have faced. Suicide is an option. It's not ideal, it's not the best option, and if there was hope, I'd encourage myself and others to take it.
But all I see is gloom, numbness, overwhelming emotions, and lack of a good future.
I don't want to die, but life isn't really giving me a reason not to take the action.
