In reply to Why does suicide seem like an option?, posted by Partlycloudy on March 22, 2014, at 19:51:44
I don't know if you mentioned suicide in the subject to draw attention, but while it is always an option you have to make a pact with yourself that it is never an option. In the dark depths of depression it seems like the only option. I first wished and literally prayed to die when I was 7-years old. I had elaborate plans in college, and when my marriage failed I considered all manor of violence to myself and others. I considered myself a coward each time for not being able to accomplish the act. Healthy, I realize that self-preservation is a strength, and as clichéd as it sounds, for you this too will pass. But I do not try to minimize your feelings PC, for things must really suck to be thinking this way.
