There are many who say that killing oneself is a long term answer to a short term problem...but what if..?

Question

What if the problems themselves are long term? What if every approach and attempt you make to change it leads you back to the same place you started, and a few of those times even worse then when you started?
What do you do when those closest to you abandon you for no real reason? (or if there is a reason, you are never made aware of it.)
What happens when arrogant little snots are given the world on a platter and yet no matter what you do, it never works in your favor.
At what point is one allowed to give up? I pretty much gave what I had and more, and I just cannot do it anymore, the more I try, the less I gain.
Im tired of the hurt, and the bullshit, and the lies.
They suggest that suicide is a selfish act, and maybe it is, but then again you can ask those who know me, and more then a few will say I'm a very generous person, even overly generous. So at what point am I allowed to be selfish?
I am tired of being the disappointment and the loser and whatever I had left is gone

At one point I did care, even after numerous struggles I cared. I dont care anymore, im indifferent to life, I get no enjoyment out of much anymore, I no longer have a desire or drive to be better...
yeah I saw someone for a while and was on various cokctails of anti-deps, anti-anxs, even speed, and you know what it didnt really help that much, over two years of varying mixes and not one brought me back to where I used to be.
We tell those who are terminal or elderly and on their deathbed that its okay to let go, that they no longer need to suffer and that we will move on and be fine without them.
So why is it, we cant tell our living that when life is just miserable, WHY CANT I JUST BE TOLD ITS OKAY TO LET GO??

Answer 1

Of course, if you truly feel that hopeless and you want your life to end now, I certainly can't stop you but I wish I could. Life is very difficult. I know, I am only 33 years old and already disabled, can't enjoy the things I used to love to do which were physical things and outdoor activities, I never feel good and am always in physical pain. I have had my share of emotional pain as well. I lost my 3 best friends within 1 year of each other. One of them to a gun accident while he was playing russian roulette and misjudged the bullet placement. It tore me up and it tore up his family. That was about 10 years ago and I still dream about them and miss them. I so often wish that I could talk to them and ask why? whay didn;t they call me? Life is worth living. The hard times seem unfair and I still am barely making it every month as far as being able to keep our apartment and put food on the table, but yet I still find the strength to go on. I guess it's my faith. Please reconsider your options, don't compare yourself or your life with others, this is your life. I hope that you choose to live and get a new outlook on life. There has to something or someone positive in your life. Hang in there, when you're at the bottom you have no where to go but up. Peace to you.

It simply isn't your time. The fact that you don't understand why things happen as they do, is a reason not to cut it short. The fact is, we spend our whole lives trying to figure it out. And it's likely that your life will encounter disappointments, losses, and betrayals. Life isn't fair,life isn't easy, if it was it would be empty, not special. There would be no adventure in it, no challenge, no lessons to learn, no mysteries to reveil. It's the hard times that mold the person we're to become, and give us a past to look back on. Life is good, have one, they're free, but they're not cheep.
