Please don't do anything rash. It's not worth it. None of us actually know what the future holds.

Thank you for your concern, I appreciate it, and I hope much good will come your own way no matter what.

But it really doesn't matter to me anymore what the future holds. I know I'll be unfit for it, that there will be no place for people like me in there.

There comes a certain point in life where everyone around you just looks in a different direction than you do, and when you cannot bring yourself to look in the same direction, you know you're finished.

Consider for a moment that since you're having suicidal ideations (your words), that means you're in some form of crisis right now, and as such your frame of mind and thus perspective is unreliable currently.

Therefore, the best course of action is to not make any permanent decisions based on that faulty perspective.

Yeah I read that quite a lot before. I respectfully disagree. Past a certain age if someone vividly wishes to end themselves and sees no hope whatsoever, it's for good reasons.

>Past a certain age if someone vividly wishes to end themselves and sees no hope whatsoever ..

There's innumerable people who have fit that criteria, didn't do it, and are thankful they didn't.

I sincerely hope you will be one of them.

Thanks, I sincerely hope I very soon won't. But nevertheless I appreciate your warmth and your help, take care and godspeed for your own struggles friend.
