For me fear of dying stops them. Like, I have a mind that wants to take me down, and it's serious. I didn't take it seriously until recently, when I messed up my health in an attempt. I'm Christian and believe God spared my life, which I am grateful for. But now I worry every day about dying any moment, and it's become so real to me. It's not worth it. Ever. Please get some help <3 Deep down you're searching for a solution to your pain. We all want long happy lives, if they could be happy. Suicide ruins any chance of having a long, fulfilled life. If nobody has told you they love you today, I do. Hang in there until things get better. Age actually helps. Life gets better the older you get.
