i mean, this is how i see it:

those people may not ever get a chance at living a long life... and i do- but i just don't want it.

These two are hard to compare. There is a big difference between life ending by choice, or life being taken by force. You could be very suicidal, and if you fell ill and life was being threatened to be taken not by your choice, you might feel very different about that death, but does not change your feeling of taking it your self. It could change it, but doesn't have to.
Other people's lives and deaths don't really dictate what my time here should be nor the length. Would you feel guilty for living to 90 if the life expectancy is 83?
Not trying to tell you sui is ok, I believe that lies with the individual. But that you need not feel guilty, and like Blue said, to extend some compassion to your self.
