Besides the obvious that your POA is not worth dying for, some of the things that I considered:
Suicide is going to cause a lot of pain to those closest to you - to your family and friends.
Someone has to clean up the mess of your suicide, decomposing body, body part cleanup. To me it is very selfish to just destroy your body and leave the mess for someone else to cleanup. A neighbor killed himself in an apartment I was living in and no one knew what the smell was in the hallway. I didn't know I was smelling a decomposing corpse. Something I will never forget.
Some religions consider suicide a sin and you will not actually die but end up suffering longer - eternally in fact. I am an agnostic, so to me, this is a possibility.
If you read about suicide, it is very difficult to accomplish successfully. If there is a God then suicide was made difficult for a reason.
If your attempt at suicide fails, which most do, depending on the method you chose, you may be left with permanent scars to permanent brain damage.
With time, suicide fantasies will diminish, if you cut the cord to your POA. Admittedly something I have not accomplished. But even reducing the contact has dramatically reduced my suicide fantasies.
When I cyberstalk, I give kindling to my suicide fantasies.
I have had suicide fantasies my entire life, so I know they will pass in time. Of course anyone have suicide fantasies should seek psychological counseling.
I was at the gym recently, working out intensively to deal with the stress, and I had some chest pains. I though, Lord if you want to take me, it's fine with me... But I am NOT committing suicide.
