Oof. As a sufferer of mental illness, I will admit I was drawn in by the trigger warning. Mostly because I wanted to see if I could relate. I could.

If it weren't so potentially the worst possible solution, putting people who think they don't want to live anymore into intense survival situations and giving them a real chance to choose would be such effing therapy. The terror is wondering what you'd choose, even then.

Well executed, my friend.

Beautifully written. The descriptors really transport the reader.
