Your life does not belong to you. It belongs to God. However awful things seem now, you cannot know the future. All you can do is escape one kind of pain to go to another you do not know. God told Israel when they were a mess that he had plans for them to give them a future and a hope. Trust God's word. This isn't theoretical. I've battled depression leading to despair since a young age. When I came to realize my life was not mine that was be beginning of putting up a stop sign when my thoughts started going in the wrong direction. Over time the sign has become a wall.

Why should you kill your self? Answer this question.
If you want to kill, then,you should kill bad habits in you, bad phrases of your memory which are haunting you, bad attitudes, bad behaviors, and that very thing which is provoking you to kill yourself.
Killing yourself is an offense, it is a murder, for which you will be accounted for in the life after death, if you have any religion. If you don't have a religion, search those things which make people happy.
Now if you are bent upon killing yourself, then go for a selfless social service of any kind you choose, may be you donate your body organs to needy people. Think is twice. Never go for such an option. Be wise. Live a happy life. Give birth to babies who may be better off than you are.

Because you only get one chance at life and killing yourself would ba waste of a perfectly good one. I bet it's not as bad as it seems, I thought about killing myself once. I thought it was pointless to be alive why do anything if we all just die anyways and achieve nothing. But then I thought why would I give up my one life that I can never get back when I can just have fun and not worry about anything that happens as long as I'm happy. That's when I decided that it is not worth it to kill yourself because I would be wasting my life, and for all the pain it would cause the people around me. And I know that you have at least one person who cares about you, just think about them and what they would do if you killed yourself.

My best friend killed himself.
That was 35 yrs. ago and I still think about him.
I'll never know what he would have been,could have been or looks like or anything today or ever.
35 yrs. of "what if".
It might not matter to you but it sure as heII matters to others.
Please consider the impact that poor choice would have on your loved ones.
Think of it this way- YOU CAN NEVER NEVER NEVER GO BACK. Done. Over. Gone.

This might be controversial but, in my view, principally because it is selfish. You might not value your own life; you are entitled to this view, although chances are that you would be wrong and should try to think positively. But there will certainly by many around you who do value your life, who would be deeply distressed should you take it.
It is no use resorting to God on this. One might as well assume that taking one's own life is as much God's will as being run over by a bus. But, if you are really thinking about this practically rather than intellectually, (i) think of those around you and (ii) find the value in your life for your own benefit - it is surely there.

From ‘River Out of Eden’:
“All organisms that have ever lived—every animal and plant, all bacteria and fungi, every creeping thing, and all readers of this book—can look back at their ancestors and make the following proud claim: Not a single one of our ancestors died in infancy. They all reached adulthood, and every single one was capable of finding at least one heterosexual partner and of successfully copulating. Not a single one of our ancestors was felled by an enemy, or by a virus, or by a misjudged footstep on a cliff edge, before bringing at least one child into the world. Thousands of our ancestors' contemporaries failed in all three respects, but not a single solitary one of our ancestors failed in any of them.”
Were you to kill yourself, that would all have been for nothing.

Killing yourself is the most selfish act on the planet.
It isn't your choice of when or how you go.

for certain questions there are no answers. did you know that?and I asked this question from myself a few times..but i think not respecting your life is foolish, read some Nietzsche,Decartes, Aristotle, Alex Haley and see the movie Amelie( a french one)...it is not even sure you are living..maybe its just an illusion...answers are not necessary in life they are make believe

Because it would be unwise..... you can't be sure that everything is not going to be worse for you after death... face the known devil called life with some courage rather than thinking of embracing the unknown one called death!

because you are not doing as bad as you think you are. somewhere there is somebody having a rougher time than you, but not giving up and working as hard as they can to turn things around so why shouldn't you give the same effort with your life
