    Life-ending does not solve the negative emotions felt when feeling hopeless.

        No.

        I don’t think dead bodies experience feelings.

        There is lot of pressure in situations of hopelessness and to make the decision to end one’s life in an attempt to experience the alleviation of that pressure is futile, because there is no experience at all after death. So, for self-sympathetic reasons it is preferable to steady that grip on dear life as much possible.

        With help there can be a better understanding of the feelings of hopelessness, even or especially when those feelings have a very material foundation.
