Especially if your existence is a constant failure... When you own nothing, you have no future, job and no woman wants you (and you still a virgin as an old adult)... Recently I've feeling suicidal again, I don't think I have the courage to do it, which makes this worse,I can't even stop this from messing with me.

Sorry if you are bothered by this but I'm feeling really rotten. Just... Don't tell me to get help, that's not a possibility. I'm getting tired of just waking up alive.

Nothing but empathy for you here, bro. Try some drugs. Not the shrink drugs, but some psychedelics. There is some inherent risk with HPPD, but you're already wanting to opt-out of life, so that could be acceptable. Read up on set and setting, do the prep, find someone experienced that will trip sit. And be prepared to feel overwhelmed, possibly from profound thoughts, and for some very honest introspection and soul searching. Totally okay to sob your heart out. Psychedelics are not a panacea, but they can be a tool to help you out of the local minimum.
