would it REALLY be so bad if i wasn’t here anymore?

okay bare with me here. i’ve dealt with feeling depressed for most of my life, honestly from when i hit puberty which unfortunately for me was in my preteens. i’ve thought about ending my life for that long too and it got to a point where ive just picked an age where i’m gonna do it. partly due to bullying and honestly just my natural disposition im a very insular person. i don’t have a wide circle of friends, i keep my feelings to myself and take on a supportive role in any friendships i do have. im somewhat close to my family but any sort of conversation about feelings is quickly dismissed so ive given up on talking to them about how i feel.
despite feeling so low i’ve managed to achieve most of my life goals, did well at sport and well at studies to the point where i’m ticking off my last hurdle which is a phd. these are all things my parents wanted me to achieve so once i’ve finished my phd why can’t i just.. go? i’m so tired of never feeling accomplished, of the constant hollow feeling in my chest and the urge has been so bad lately as i’ve been under a lot of stress.
i don’t have many people in my life so there’s not a lot of people will miss me anyway, plus it’s one less per

Real talk, the intention might be solid, the rollout less so and that’s where it gets complicated Hard to say where this lands long term.

this solves one problem while creating another which is why the comments look the way they do That part stands out. Feels like an opening move, not an ending. Others will probably see it differently.

From a neutral view, this feels more about execution than intent This could age very differently in a week.
