I think we can acknowledge that the negatives in life outweigh the positives, and we have no control over what choices someone chooses when it comes to their life.
At the end of the day, you are not that person, and they are not you, you have no way of knowing or understanding what they went through and what they continue to go through.
Nobody asked to be born into a life where they have to do well enough in school and then make money just to survive and live. It gets to a point where medication and therapy are pointless if their situation, living environment, or government won't change, and they are basically backed into a corner left with no other option but to take their own life, due to pressure.
Pressure to be normal enough to function and work, or to just function and be normal. What psychiatry fails to understand is that coping your entire life is not living, surviving off of medication and therapy is not living. Just surviving is not living. They don't realize what kind of life you have to go back to when they stop you from killing yourself, they still preach that life is beautiful and say "At least you're alive", barely. They stop caring about you if they're not able to make you "better". They also don't like people who are extremely aware and still think they can gaslight someone.
There's not enough words for me to express my hatred for psychiatry, mental health laws that are meant to coerce, scare, and control people, and anything anti suicide when this world and its people have nothing better to offer besides empty promises and false hope.
I can't describe how much I detest psych holds when I choose to not deal with a life, responsibility, and future I never wanted or asked for. They ultimately made things worse by forcing me to live and "get better".
And God forbid you cut yourself or do any form of unhealthy coping despite them not offering you any alternatives that are guaranteed to work. I will never understand why I get prosecuted for cutting myself when the shit they told me to do instead never worked or did anything.
And who wants to live when your government is literally making it harder for you to? Its getting harder to find jobs and be able to afford school to get a degree thats supposed to guarantee more wealth, all for you to not be able to find a job right after graduating within the next 2 years and be able to get experience. We go to school nearly our entire adolescence, that should be enough to get basic entry level jobs but its not.
So yeah. "Because I don't want to." is a perfectly valid response and a full sentence when it comes to not wanting to live anymore.
