last night i felt extremely depressed and couldnt sleep all night, but even though ive dealt with suicidal thoughts since i was about 13 or so, i would never go trough with it. the mood changes and a day or two later, a year, whatever, you look back and wonder why. if you did end your life [or someone else's, or something equally desperate and permanent!] there would be no looking back in a positive way. also drugs like opiates and coke wreak havoc on your sense of well being...as does isolation. im also really bad at being optimistic, but i just dont see suicide as an option because of how much devastation it wreaks not only on your relationship to other humans but also to God/the universe. death comes to all, no need to hurry the process, and add to the huge amount of pain that is already in life. [with addiction, negative thinking, not only suicide]. it does help hugely to express yourself even if it means being a fool sometimes
this thread as well as a couple others are making me feel optimistic about not going back to hard drugs and possibly ruining my natural sense of self for good. everyone together now, of course...
