What is the best age to commit suicide?

[irememberinnocence]

For all the people saying around 30 I feel validated. I am around this age and feel more determined to end my life than ever. I have experienced so much of what life has to offer and that is also how I know I've had enough. I've actually experienced some awesome things too. But because of my physical illness and my increasing isolation I know it's all downhill from here. So I'm getting out before it's too late. I honestly feel very uncomfortable with the idea of young people killing themselves. At that age I was suffering a lot but I kept giving life another shot. I experienced a lot of things, and made some impact on the world, despite all my struggles. Now I really feel much more comfortable with my imminent end, not the act itself, but just finding peace. This is all my perspective. What other people do is none of my business. I'm just speaking for myself. It took a lot of courage to reply to a post after being a member for a year. I know my time is creeping closer and I feel that it's killing me mentally more to not speak honestly, so that's how I got the courage.

Edit: Just to be absolutely clear, I'm not saying anyone SHOULD kill themselves just because they reach 30 and things seem unbearable. I'm saying it's my own personal best time for my own personal suicide. It's a deeply personal decision after all, weighing up one's own quality of life versus one's own non-existence.

But isnt resouces for survival should be used in favour of those who procreate and their offspring. Unproductive elements of society are a drain on resources with no evolutionary benefit for continuing existence. I know this sound eugenic but isnt it logical reason to die?

Pre-modern society around the world was based on the tribe. Not on procreators and their offspring, but the tribe as a whole. There's evidence in the remains of prehistoric people that people who were aged, infirm, and crippled were cared for.

If people who only cared about themselves and their offspring were most successful at surviving, then that's what would have dominated. But it isn't, that's actually a pretty modern way to live, and a couple hundred years is nothing in evolutionary terms.

Think about it this way - if the only people who were able to contribute to the welfare of the group were parents and their offspring, what happens to the offspring when one or both parents are incapacitated or killed? What happens when a parent is a shitty human being and doesn't take care of their kids or harms them? The kids don't make it to adulthood and those genes don't get passed on.

Having people in a group who aren't actively involved in making and raising their own kids is good for the group as a whole, it means that there are people who are able to devote themselves to other tasks that the parents aren't necessarily able to do, and it also means that kids have other people around to help them to make it to adulthood and be successful at navigating life enough to reproduce themselves.

In adulthood, we're providing that kind of mutual support to each other right now. It's a positive thing, and a worthy contribution to make to society as a whole.

If a person is suffering from major depression....how are they even able to follow a process?

One should wrap umbilical cord around his/her neck and leave this place asap!

Kidding, I do not encourage unborn babies to suicide.

Não vejo lógica em estipular uma idade para o ctb. A vontade de partir não está diretamente relacionada com a idade da pessoa, mas com o estado mental, físico e emocional.
Não temos a visão clara do futuro, temos uma breve previsão. Nada é para sempre, as coisas podem mudar. Temos que dar tempo ao tempo. Esperar o melhor e se preparar para o pior.
