I went from being a happy kid that smiled all the time, enjoyed drawing and had several friends to a pathetic adult with no talents, passion, creativity, friends or a job. Just a worthless and unlovable failure. And recently it's gotten so bad that I've started cutting myself and contemplating suicide. I just don't believe I have what it takes to get my life together, sadly.

If you kill yourself, fascists score another win. Would you allow them that?

i hate this reasoning. i'm also depressed, borderline suicidal and my suffering is a consequence of victories the fash have already won, not some glorious revolutionary struggle. prolonging that suffering isn't a w for me or anyone who isn't a torturer and ending it (preferably by improving my material and social conditions rather than death) would be mercy.

suffering isn't inherently virtuous
