She cries because she knows I have plans to end it, but I can’t bring myself to tell her she is the reason I’m still alive and the reason I’m so close to dying. She doesn’t want me to die…but the mindset is in place and I don’t know what to do.
At least she cares… maybe you can’t be with her, but would you really put her up through the suffering of her knowing (or finding out) you took your life because of her?, or on the other hand, would you really like for her to be with you just so you don’t end your life?… if you love her i assume you care for her happiness… you should care for yours as well and give another chance to yourself… ending it will only harm you (by not giving yourself the chance to live, you are still really young) and her even more.
Live more… give yourself more time, it’s not like the choice of killing yourself is going to go away if you give life another chance. I think that even if you believe things will get worse you are way too young not to give yourself at least the opportunity to turn things around, and as you say, it’s just a suggestion on my part.
@Keief: From your reply-comment it sounds like the reasoning is that the decision to commit suicide is not always a bad choice, but rather one that requires sufficient knowledge and awareness, so that at certain stages in life it is a bad choice. Have I misread you?
@EK2020: That’s what i’m standing at now, you read me correctly. I do believe there is some things that can’t be overcome and that everyone has a right to do what they want with their life, but if we were to commit suicide at a really young age or without at least living some, you really don’t know what you are missing.
I used to think everything could be overcome other than terminal illness or extreme conditions, but i’ve come to realise we all have limits for what we can endure, so i cannot say to someone “don’t do it, things will get better” and be certain about it. But i sure can’t tell someone who hasn’t gone at least into the “adult” years to give it a try, i mean… you might find something that is worth coping with the pain, you might find something better that makes you forget all about what just happened, or you can find yourself on a situation even worse that you can’t overcome… but the point is that at least you tried.

@keief So what’re you suggesting I do?

@Keief: Thanks for clarify. 🙂
