Rational suicide

There are some people who conclude that suicide is the best option after logically looking at their present circumstances and their future outlook. I think sometimes, however, the thought process is missing a piece (or pieces) of possible alternates. Therapy, social services, community support, etc. are often able to provide assistance. However, sometimes due to stigma or other reasons, people don’t reach out for help. So they conclude that suicide is the final and only remaining option. I’m not here to judge. As I’ve been in those shoes and spent some time inpatient a few years back, I had determined over an extended period of time that it was time to call it a life. So while I won’t judge anybody who concludes something similar, I would strongly encourage them to seek out and use whatever resources are available. Suicide is often a solution that is arrived at when other interim steps would work so much better. In your shoes, I wouldn’t leave the world. I’d figure out what is needed to get support and work on that strategy. Don’t set a date because you effectively give up on yourself. Mental health doesn’t run on a timetable. People respond at different rates to treatment options. Above all, keep the faith in yourself.
