One thing that often stopped me from suicide was the question about whether I would be going to what I thought--peace, no pain, free at last.
What if, I thought, I end up .... well, you can fill in the blank with a hundred different things.
That nightmarish thought, plus using alcohol to numb the pain, helped keep me around enough years to find some meds that helped.
I am better now. You can get better.
My fear for you, if you did kill yourself, would be that it was even worse there than here.
You could stay around, ponder, talk, post, feel awful, draw, cry, drink, call someone, look out the window at the world, get mad, ...we will be here for you.
