Shirley: Would you ever encourage SOMEONE ELSE to commit suicide? (I'm not thinking of terminally ill cancer patients, etc.) Because while I'm busy having "suicidal ideations" all the time, friends have felt suicidal themselves and I've tried to convice them it was a bad idea. It's only a good idea for ME!
Also, do you think anyone other than yourself is "worthless"? I've found that while I think I'm stupid & worthless, I'm a hell of a lot easier on everyone else on the planet! If I make a mistake at work, it's because I'm unqualified & stupid. If someone else does, it's no big deal: people make mistakes.
I know what you mean, too, about feeling overly dramatic. But maybe suicide is such a BIG, BLACK AND WHITE way of thinking/feeling that it always comes off as dramatic. I dunno.
