You’re not a coward. Sometimes making it to the next day shows immense strength. If you want to talk about what’s been going on, you’ll typically find some solid support here.
That doesn’t make you a coward. Most people here feel the same or have been there at some point. There aren’t any easy answers. What do you mean by “too much of a coward to live life”?
I’m a coward because I give up at the first hurdle and my life is not that rough. I don’t have financial problems. I’ve never been abused or lost someone close to me. I’m just to weak.
I can’t handle living like this. The thing is I don’t want to be surviving. I want to simply live and that seems impossible.
You haven’t given up completely yet, and this counts as a hurdle. If you had you wouldn’t be typing.
There’s not some threshold you have to pass before you are ‘entitled’ to feel like you want to die, it’s not a feeling that discriminates. This could mean that there is still something vital missing from your life. Actually living as opposed to surviving is not impossible to achieve, just really difficult and a lot of work.

You just explained my life for me

I always think the same about myself.
