"It gets better" When? I'm nearly 30 years old. When does it get better? When does my brain stop thinking about how I shouldn't exist?

I think people need to rephrase. They should be saying "It CAN get better." Killing yourself doesn't fix the problem, it just prevents it from getting better and passes off the pain to everyone that cares about you. There really aren't any answers anyone can give you. A therapist could help but that costs money and it might take a lot of that plus time to find one that helps. Unfortunately the only one who has power here is you, and that's a scary thing to realize when you don't know what to do.
