You hear all the time how people find comfort in finding others that are going through the same thing as them. I don’t. To me it makes me loose hope that there’s and end to this crap going on in my head.
There are sooooo many people with at least some sort of depression or mental health issues it seems like that’s just the way it is. That’s being human. I think it’s totally unacceptable for a race (as in human race) to have that as a norm. It also kills all hope to be free of it.
I’m just supposed to accept it because everyone else goes through the same thing? I can’t. I’m at a total loss as to what to do about it. I wish that people would just be accepting of suicide so that I can end it all and not hurt people who want me to live. They just can’t see that it would be setting me free. I wouldn’t have to live the torture of the depressed mind and when it hasn’t taken over, the fear of when it will come back.
I’m terrified of making plans. Who knows what that day will be like in my head. I hate letting people down. I hate failing.
I’m so tired of fighting the same fight over and over. So what if you win, it won’t last. The cycle is nauseating, and nobody likes being nauseous.

I have no similarities to anyone, so I wouldn’t know anything about it. Most people aren’t depressed or suicidal though. It’s a minority. Though media often distorts the prevalence of minorities.
The idea that those who are suicidal are mentally ill is also an idea we have been conditioned to believe.
that’s something to think about….
It would be nice if people were more accepting of a person’s right to choose.
no need to think about that one. I agree.
Currently feeling the same thing. I’m just tired of fighting it when it just keeps coming back
I go back and forth on my personal views of whether suicide should be legal.
On one hand, people who are suffering for a prolonged period shouldn’t have to suffer for an eternity. At the same time, there is typically another solution. Things might not improve overnight but they can improve to some degree.
I worry about impulsive reactions to having a bad day, relationship breakups, job terminations, etc. These are everyday life events that happen to everyone. Suicide wouldn’t be the answer.
I probably should have said ‘accepted by society’ instead of legal. Whether it’s legal or not is largely irrelevant.
I probably shouldn’t have posted a philosophical post first thing in the morning when the brain isn’t fully turned on.
