Venting Words of encouragement/support are a lie

[PizzleYanked]

I've noticed that when I express my CTB desires in depression forums, I always get very similar answers. "Keep fighting", "Things will get better", "One day at a time", "Find God and pray", "Think of your pets", and I find them all a lie. I don't want to keep fighting, I'm tired of fighting my mind. Things will not get better, society is awful, I have no passion for anything, I will never function in society, I don't understand why people stay alive for so long. I don't want to live one day at a time, I want to never suffer again. I'm a Christian, but God isn't helping me with this. My pets are already taken care of by my family. This is all bullshit.

I remember consistently being the 'listener' to so many people on the verge or just in a horrible situation when I was a teenager. I found that in so many cases, there was no encouragement I could give that was honest.

Nobody wants to be guy that just lets someone die. It's hard to admit to someone that such a thing makes sense, even if you see what they see. It's an insidious feature of how suicide and psychologically induced death is handled at large; there is a performance of rejection and disdain towards suicide, but only the most skeletal social effort is spared towards preventing it. It's fine if you live a miserable, painful life, or if you're locked away perpetually in a ward 'for your own safety', so long as you continue to draw breath, so that your death doesn't disturb or unsettle anyone, or raise any uncomfortable questions.

I was told 25 years ago "it gets better". It did not get better and I regret not killing myself then.
