Why must I keep fighting? Why do I have to keep breathing? Why can't I just die? Why will no one allow that?

Can't they see that I am in pain? Can't they see that I'm suffering? Can't they see that I have lived with this for too long?

Suicide is selfish, so they say. Why must we be seen as selfish for wanting to die? Why isn't it selfish of others to want us to keep living despite the pain? Why do I have to endure this to prevent others from missing me? Wouldn't it just be better for everyone?

I'm sorry . Living ... or existing with severe depression without good help is beyond hard . I don't really have any wise words.
(If the professionals have used the "selfish" card, maybe they are the selfish ones )
Maybe we can help each other here

I have been struggling with these sort of thoughts in the last week myself. There are many nights I go to bed and just hope I don't wake up in the morning.

Why does life seem to be so unfair?

I don't want to put more weight on you by saying this, but let me just say that it wouldn't be better for me. Who else will understand all of my Twenty One Pilots phuns?
I wish people could allow me to do it, too, but they won't and don't plan on changing. I guess, in this sort of case, we have to be the ones who sacrifice for the chance we can get better.
Other than that, anything else I'd say would be hypocritical and/or ignorant. If you need to talk, I'm always here for you.

Thanks for the support and hugs. I just feel so stuck. Why doesn't it get easier?

I'm sorry if this is redundant... I really think with decent help everyone could get "better" if not cured. Sadly some (or most?) public health systems disagree and it makes me mad, their ignorance and callousness



PS if they IRL were a bit more careful with their words .... they are, supposedly, trained......... at least they would be less likely to do harm.
