What would be considered an acceptable reason to kill one’s self. My life is not hard by any means. I was never abused or assaulted. I am in good health. My family is supportive in many ways. I do not go hungry nor am I homeless. I do not have many friends, but still have some. So at what point would it be considered acceptable to kill myself? I am lonely often. I am not satisfied in where my life is going career wise. I don’t feel like I’m anything. Where am I going? Every issue seems so minor from an objective point of view. So why do I care so much? Very little bad news seems so big. I’m sleeping a lot recently. I always have this sensation of letting everything fall a part arpund me, but then try so hard to keep it together. I’m not sure what I want.

anything can be a valid reason.
lately ive been thinking that “suicidal” is just the way “we” are. (of course i have bpd which has a symptom of chronic suicidality which would mean only seeing from my perspective, my opinion has a possibility of being biased). i just find it interesting/perplexing that some people can go through the same things in life while one will be ok and the other not. why some people can handle things better while some come crashing down.
basically, you feel the way you do and no matter the reason its valid. if feeling suicidal is a part of you, just like how someone might cry about something while someone else will laugh at it. then thats not your fault but sort of like anger problems you can learn to work within it.
If you want to, for any reason, that’s valid.
I have people who love me, I’m able to work when I want to, I hate every second of my life. The only thing that stops me is that primal fear and the knowledge that my wife would follow me.
Your situation reminds me of my own. I won’t be homeless or starve, but my career is most likely dead. I mostly stick around because there are other people who I can help, but even that is getting harder to find.
Courage, the day you just lived through is one less you must serve in the indentured servitude that some so blithely call life.
If you can bring yourself to do it, then that’s all the justification you need. It takes a lot of guts to kill yourself. thats why I think every suicide is justified, except the ones where they’re so drugged or drunk that they don’t know what they’re doing. I think about it every day but so far I haven’t worked up the courage so that means I don’t have a valid reason. But if I do it tomorrow then my reason was good enough.
