OK, I'm jumping in here w/o reading the other posts, so forgive me if I echo their statements.
Suicide is NEVER the answer to any problem you have, and you KNOW why! You have SAID IT YOURSELF! There are too many people's lives that would suffer because of your action.
I cannot say the thought has not crossed my mind from time to time, because it has. However, there is no way I can allow myself to inflict that kind of damage on others that I love.
Secondly, your life may be like shit right now, but there is ALWAYS hope (unless you have a terminal illness beyond medical treatment). You never know what new med might be right around the corner that can help your mood.
I went through that a decade ago before SSRI ADs came out. Prozac was a God-send then, and worked for a few years very well!
Don't allow the darkness of life to suck you in, because it will if you let it. There are SO MANY people that are WILLING and ABLE to help you through these tough times. Just ask!
Suicide cannot be undone, just about everything else has a chance. You just need to be open to new possibilities, new ideas, new goals, new hopes.
