>>8986163Don't get me wrong, I do think suicide is a valid option. If life really is that terrible and there really is no hope of it getting better I can totally understand someone deciding enough is enough. Given the fact that depression is also associated with a pessimistic bias though, people often tend to assume that their problems aren't fixable, when in reality they are. Furthermore, as much as it sucks to hear this, suicide will have a deep emotional impact on the people around you. My older brother killed himself when I was 7 and it messed me up. I also got to grow up seeing the impact it had on the rest of my family. So yeah. Staying alive because you don't want to hurt people is not a good reason, but it is a valid one.
I'm not telling you not to kill yourself. Ultimately it's your life and not anyone else's. Just understand this impacts more people than just yourself, and it probably is fixable.
