Blimey MN - harsh to delete a thread when someone’s stated how desperate they’re feeling.

@BelleMia if you’re still reading…

My son is a cat - still my child - my son - he is the love of my life.

What will happen to your cat if you go ahead with your plan?

And yes - I have someone in my life that thinks Im disgusting and stupid and ugly.

It seems unlikely that he thinks that about you. If he does, then that says a lot more about him than it does about you.

Like every other person in my life. Because who wants to be in a relationship with me?

You’re catastrophising because you’re very unwell. Please speak to your crisis team. 🙏 The fact that you have had a relationship of sorts disproves your statement that no man will ever want you.

You call it selfish?

I said it’s selfish if you have a child.

Suffering for 30 years is selfish? Fighting everyday to stay alive is selfish?

That’s not what I said.

If your life is perfect, Im really happy for you honestly.

It’s not, and I have felt suicidal many times.

If I was worthy and good enough and something in life?

You are.

Yes, then it was selfish.

Those things don’t have any bearing on whether suicide is a selfish act.

If I die and 1 or 2 people suffer? What then? That is not selfish. To live for 2 people who are happy, and I have to suffer.

My statement was that it’s selfish if you have a child (because of the suffering it would cause, and because I feel that once one has a child, that child should always come first). But you’ve clarified that you didn’t mean a human child.

You mention one or two people would suffer if you died - who are they?

So what now, should I just carry on like this forever? Try standing in my shoe's - and well talk again.

I think you should urgently reach out for help - not just online but by talking to your psychiatrist and psychologist today.
