Please, give me reasons not to kill myself

I never wanted to be a lesbian. I didn’t choose this. For the past six years I’ve been hurting myself physically such as cutting and starving myself because I felt like I needed to punish myself because of me being gay.

I can´t see the point of being alive anymore.

My mum also constantly puts me down and makes me feel like a piece of crap and it led me to stop eating properly. I was a UK size 8 before and now I don’t even fit properly into a size 6. Being thin is the only thing that gives me satisfaction now.

I want my loved one back, I will kill myself, I can´t bear now.

I love someone too much but my family got me married with another boy. I could not stop that on time. They made too much pressure on me emotionally…

Is artificial insemination lawful in Islam?

I am a 33 yrs old male married 3 years ago but not able to make my wife pregnant. I am just not able to reach orgasm. We have had very less sexual activity too, intially due to confidence issues for me and then from my wife. I don´t know why and I lose interest also quickly.

My husband has tried to suffocate me with a pillow.

Assalamalaikum

I am a 30 year lady and been married for 3 years.
Let me add that I got married to a muslim man of my choice who is younger than me 2 years. Initially my parents objected to his marriage when they found out that he use to drink alcohol. But since i knew or at least I thought he had stopped drinking, i begged my parents to let me marry him.
