Your Mind Is Lying to You, Suicide Doesn’t Fix the Pain, It Just Stops the Possibility

No lies, life can get brutally hard. There are days when everything feels heavy like you’re walking through sinking mud with no finish line in sight. And when the weight piles up — grief, heartbreak, trauma, shame, loneliness — it’s easy to start believing a dangerous lie: that maybe the world would be better without you in it.

But here’s the truth: suicide doesn’t really solve anything. It only ends the chance for things to ever get better.

It’s not that your pain isn’t valid — it is. Your feelings are real, raw, and deserve to be heard. But the part of your mind telling you there’s no hope? That part is lying. It’s not truth-talking, it’s exhaustion! Burnout! A soul running on fumes! What it needs isn’t an exit; it’s rest, support, and a reason to believe again.

And let’s not forget the impact on everyone else. Have you thought about how much your loved ones would suffer if you chose this route? They are left to figure out how to live with the aftermath the “why” they’ll never get an answer to. It’s not just your life that ends; it’s their peace of mind, their sense of normalcy, their entire world. Oh, and let’s not even mention the potential for them to go online and find an article like this where a professional dares to suggest that maybe, just maybe, there’s a better way.
