Please, please don't do this.
Do what? Commit suicide or talk about suicide?
As for the latter, the request is childish, and as for the former, I have yet to meet a person who would even pay the financial cost of living for another person.
Yet, for some reason, everybody feels entitled to judge whose life is worth living - even for total strangers. And why wouldn't you? You get to be morally superior AND you get to have higher social status AND you get the upvotes for being a nice person AND you don't have to go through the suffering AND you don't have to pay the cost.
Bravo. Well done. Thanks for the objective discussion.
You are welcome to die if you wish, although I would probably not want you to. But if you encourage others, in particular depressed people, to commit suicide you can expect some pushback. That's because you are being an asshole.
