I've contemplated suicide before, but never this calmly. No depression, no anxiety, just a calm assessment of what might constitute the best option.

And sometimes, you really get to that point, you know? I've been there before, and I expect I'll get there again.

I'm not going to give you stupid platitudes about how you shouldn't kill yourself and things will get better and blah blah blah, because who am I to tell you what to do with your life, and I'm no psychic so I can't necessarily tell with all certainty whether things will get better for you or not. I hope to hell that they do, but life is a bitch. If you feel like the peaceful finality of death is all you have to look forward to, then, well . . . like I said, who am I to stop you? I'd miss you, but I'd rather you were happy and at peace.

Please note I am not telling you to kill yourself--I'm suggesting that you do what you feel is best.

That is an astoundingly sympathetic response, the likes of which you rarely see. And of course you're right, you don't know whether things will get better or not. Life is a bitch. A fucking horrible bitch.

This reminds me that I wanted to pipe in when one of your friends made this comment on a recent post of yours:

Things will get better for you. You just need to look at things as a lesson. Your learning slowly by slowly and things will get better if you focus enough. Always be thankful for what you do have and always do good things for others. What you send out comes back!I really wanted to take her to task for that, but I figured it wasn't my business and it wasn't what you needed to hear then. Still, I'd like to know on exactly what she's basing the statement that things WILL get better. I wanted her to understand exactly how spectacularly unfair it is to suggest that a person's hardships are simply a consequence of their lack of learning, their failure to focus. I especially like the idea that "what you send out comes back ( ... )

I'd like to know what people base the assumption of "things will get better" on as well. I mean, it's fine to believe that, hope it, wish it, dream it, whatever--but it doesn't always happen.

I try my best, man. I really do. I'm not gonna spoon-feed you some stupid feel-good platitudes because I'd wager a guess that that's not what you want to hear right now, if not ever again. I don't like it when people do it to me, so I'm not gonna do it to anybody else--unless that's what they want, since, y'know, some people are super sensitive these days.

Sorry for late reply. :(
