Perhaps that person should focus on surviving in spite of the things listed above rather than dying because of it.

There is a selfishness to suicide, it can plunge the people left behind into the very same cycle. Can you really hate someone that much that you want that for them?

For me personally, suicidal thoughts is a luxury I don’t have. Too many people are counting on me to get up, function, earn and provide. I barely get a moment to think of my own pain, I’m preoccupied preventing pain for a handful of people.
