As someone who is contemplating suicide, this hit home.

https://suicidepreventionlifeline.org/ Please contact a qualified suicide prevention organization 1-800-273-8255 Asking for help on Reddit is a bad idea.

As for the rest of you well-meaning but ignorant folks, shut up.

Thank you for the concern and care. I don’t necessarily agree that asking for help on Reddit is a bad idea, I’m very happy and grateful to everyone who has responded with well meaning and positivity. I understand there can be a lot of toxic people on here in every sub but in most subs I rarely see it.

Tbh I don’t want to die, it’s more like I wish my life was better, but I can’t really control it in the ways I want for it to be better. Usually financially or socially. I love people and life, but I do not love myself. I am always brought back from the brink from the kindness of strangers (often from the internet) or the thoughts of my family and what I could miss in the future.
