What is holding me back from suicide is being scared of the pain and scared of a possibility of going to hell (I know one day I will get over this and commit suicide anyway). What is yours?:
-fear of pain
-fear of death
-fear of hell
-guilt towards family/friends
-hope that it will get better

Fear of pain
The prohibitive cost of medical care in the U.S. It’s a double edged sword. If I survive, I’ll be hobbled by debt in so many ways. If I don’t even attempt, I’ll probably die from a preventable illness before I’m 40. Path of least resistance.
Guilt towards family and friends. I am quite useful/ wanted/ desired/loved by them. If love and kindness cured us I would have been cured long ago. Instead I am working closely with therapist to avoid guilt over an untimely departure. What a strange guilt. All the guilt would be before the deed and none afterwards. And still my hand is stayed.
As a single mom with 2 children under 5. Will they be properly cared for?
