I want to outlive this shitty marriage I'm stuck in, sort out my finances, and take back my own life. I'm sick of being called a fucking cunt or accused of hiding money or all the shit he's saying to me, none of which is true. He's a malignant narcissist and I'm so tired of living like this.
If there are people who care about you, it’s not only selfish but also cruel. All you’re doing is passing on your pain to them.

I'll go with what I call the nihilistic safety valve: suicide is a deliberate act, which means you care how your life ends. It then follows that you care too much about something.
Me personally:
Un-alive over 9000 fascist's.
Furry blankets. Great advances have been made in blanket technology in the past few years. Buy a couple synthetic microplush blankets that feel like rabbit fur and cocoon yourself in them. Always helps me. Even if that doesn't work for you, have hope! There is the hope that blankets may be even softer in the future.
Also, have you tried mushrooms?
¡Think of the society that would crumble if everyone that was an impoverished wage slave ended their life! If even so much as a third to a fifth of the world's population did it, everything would be ripping apart at the seams pretty quick.
Because bad times dont last for ever!
The only reason I haven't kicked it is because it would hurt people I love.
If there was some magical way to wipe the memory of my existence from all my friends and families minds I would be booking a first class ticket to hell immediately.
I've done pretty much everything I can reasonably do as someone in my tax bracket. All my other hopes and dreams cost too much and/or seem unlikely to happen at any point in the future so I may as well check out.
To be clear I am not actively suicidal right now, but I really think we ought to let people check out if they want to.
I didn't have a say in being brought into this world and it feels cruel to force people who don't wanna play anymore to stick around.
Because things will get better.
I see it as the height of cowardice. If you feel like your life is truly worthless, that it has no value at all, you're wrong. You can always give your life fighting for a cause you believe in. I continue to live, continue to train, because I wish to die on my feet in battle. If you're an American like me, I've a feeling that battle will be coming very soon. If you aren't...well the world's a pretty violent place right now with fascists rising everywhere you look. I'm sure you'll find a good moment to fight back. Who knows, you might even survive to win, and could change your world enough that hope can live in your heart once more.
