And a pretty good one at that.

    No, it’s by definition not a “good” solution; it’s a last resort. I won’t deny that sometimes there are no other options, but those situations are rare.

    Something to think about, in case you’re feeling suicidal: most suicides are done impulsively, and most people who survive suicide attempts regret making them. People tend to feel strongly suicidal for only about 15 minutes at a time. After that, the feeling tends to pass, so try to remember that if you do feel suicidal. The best thing you can do in those situations is either distract yourself or simply go to sleep, because that will allow time for the feeling to pass.

    If you aren’t in therapy, please consider seeking out a decent practitioner. Even if you’ve tried it before and not felt it was helpful. Sometimes it just takes finding the right therapist for you.

    Best of luck. I know life can be really rough sometimes.
