Personally I have been struggling with unhappiness for many years.
I have been a member of this site for over a year.
At the beginning of this year, I purchased SN.
Now...of course of many reasons killing yourself is very very difficult. Even if your life is horrible. I originally wanted to die when I was 27 (last year, I am currently 28). But the survival instinct is strong and there are a couple 'what ifs' holding me back. Now, although depending on how bad things are I could and may well decide to go any time, my current 'cut off point', is 37 years old. If by them I do not manage to have enough in my life to keep me living...a partner, children, a job a livable salary. These type of things which I do not currently have. I do not feel like I will continue with my life. I feel as though 37 is a pretty reasonable age which if you don't have some of these things by then it's probably getting too late, and I personally don't intend to plod along in an existance with nothing good in it.
What is your 'cut off point" and why?
