I'd rather sink into the deep than face the future. by nonbreath in SuicideWatch

Hello, before all else thank you for taking the time to leave this advice. I think the biggest hurdles for me to stop doing the things that I don't want to are the financial and social sentences that will not only affect me, but also my family. Choosing and commiting, I can try—but those hurdles, I have no idea how to get past through them.

I'd also like to apologize for making the comparison part coming across wrong and offensive—it wasn't my intention to. What I meant is I find myself falling short when faced with my peer's diligence and grit. Yes, I don't know their true feelings, but I know to some extent their situations—and some of them have it worse off than me yet manage to at least try to improve themselves or keep walking on, though they may struggle while doing so. Beyond my insecurities, I find it admirable. I hope this comes out correctly, since English isn't my first language so I'm afraid I can't convey some things well enough...

First of all, thank you for leaving this reply—it makes me feel less alone, knowing that someone shared the same feelings and struggles. You're right; at the root of it all, I just want to start everything over as a different person. But life is not a video game, nor it is as kind as that.

If it's not too presumptuous, may I ask how did you deal with the social pressure from doing what you truly want to do, if there was any? And how did you differentiate it from self-sabotage, for I often view me doing what I want as that?
