I am trying to write fun novellas with good prose, but for the love of God, all I can ever write about is the problem of suicide, and the farthest I've strayed from his is low brown economics and political philosophies (the pro-wrestling of philosophy) masquerading as actual philosophy. My characters can barely pontificate about anything besides how they deal with their own suffering, like I am somehow repeating time and time again what Camus has already talked about in the 1940s.

I guess it does not help that I have struggled with the problem of suicide myself, and frankly have so much ceased to find joy in the struggle that I'd have blown my brains already had I not given away my one gun.

Everything else just feels unimportant, but I have nothing particularly interesting to add to what Camus has already written.

They say actually killing yourself helps you to understand, you could try it and who knows, maybe the right ideas and the right words will come pouring out.

I see a few approaches to try. Find another space to vent, whether within a different outlet or writing elsewhere. Let yourself see it through and it will be what it is, or turn it into auto fiction and use it to work through your pain. I don't know if you're just writing for yourself or an audience, but you could keep this one and copy it once your mind's off things. Pick and choose what you'd like to keep and what needs changed with a fresh set of eyes.
