The world is larger than what you know now and you can always live a different life. I get reminded of this every time I travel to a different country. Usually there is a perspective shift. Feels like a blank slate, people who don't know anything about you. And everything you know, your history, problems, it's like it never existed. What I'm trying to say there is no need to keep score, there a millions of people out there, and cities and communities with better opportunities. Funny how sometimes it feels like there is no exit, but then a year later or 10 years later you look back and those problems seem irrelevant and miniscule. Try changing something in your life, do things differently. But also it never hurts to talk to a psychiatrist and get an assessment.

It's nice to have the privilege of being able to drop everything and travel. I imagine if everyone had that option at their fingertips suicide would be much less of a problem.

I know people who have been put on sex registries and lost a great deal as a result of talking to a physchiatrist. It would be nice to live in a world where it never hurts, but that's dangerous advice incongruent with some surprising western disclosure laws.
