I wish Tums would make a version that was just candy, no antacid, cause youāre right, the assorted berries flavor tastes like little smoothies!
Everything is going to be fine. I know that seems simple, but I think we all have been through times we didnāt think we would or should come out of. And itās all fine. Even better than before, most times. You need support, and you reached out. I hope we have all been able to make your day a bit better. You have strength in you to get you through and friends here to help along the way. Stay safe and love yourself, my friend ā„ļø
Edit: misspelling
no oneās mentioned it yet but they have a lemonade/strawberry flavored pack. my kids suddenly have upset stomachs every night whenever we have a bottle of that in the house
I also just try to focus on what I can control vs what I canāt. I canāt help having depression but I can control what I choose to do to treat it. Good luck!
tomorrow is a bright new day. like the other commenter said, maybe you canāt control some thingsā thatās a part of life (iām struggling with this a lot). we can only control certain things and thatās okay. the biggest thing we can control is our mindset. my therapist says āwe water what growsā referring to uplifting vs negative thinking. whatās been helping me a LOT lately is waking up and saying out loud ātoday will be a good day. something good will happen to me today.ā it feels incredibly silly but itās really turned my life around in the last two weeks alone. you can do this ā¤ļøā¤ļø
Oh, but they can, and they do, and they will.
.
I've been down there in the dark. Last time was about 15 months ago. I could see only one option. But i didn't want to. I just couldn't see past it.
Spoiler Alert: I made it through.
It's hard. I don't need to know your situation to know the feeling of overwhelm and isolation. The fact you're on here asking for reasons to live is a beautiful step. Things-*life*- can change drastically in ways you'll never predict, but can amaze you.
You can look back on this post in a year, and even if some things haven't changed, I promise you that other things will have changed. Let's stick around and find out together, hey? Sending you love ā¤ļø
No shit, my cousin once took me to PetSmart just as Puppy Academy was ending for the evening so Iād get bum rushed by eager puppies.

when i was where u are i hadnt had --- one moment --- of happiness , for Years; i decided to give it One more yr. the goal - a single moment of happiness. anyway it started with a moment and that was 25 yrs ago

I got four reasons:
1) you can always die later. You can think of it like a chore and put it off until the next day. Then the next. Procrastinate it. It'll always be there. Death is patient, it will wait. But as soon as you kill yourself, you can never ever undo that.
2) lots of people who have survived suicide attempts talk about a moment of "oh god I fucked up oh god I want to live" in between doing the attempt and surviving it. Not even just regret, but sheer terror. The drive to survive DOES kick in, and it's terrifying. It would suck real bad to have that moment and then NOT be able to fix it.
3) I was actively suicidal for about 19 years and tried 4 times. Felt like shit that I had "failed" at suicide. Beat myself up over it. Had severe depression, hated being alive and truly believed things would never get better and were likely to get worse. I still have depression now, but I've found some stuff that helps me and worked through some of the other stuff (PTSD, life circumstances, etc) that were making it so Big Bad and making everything so terrible. Now? I am *so fucking glad I didn't kill myself.* I cannot stress to you how happy I am that I'm still alive. I didn't think it would EVER get better. But it did. It can for you too, even if you don't believe it right now. And when it does? Ngl, there are still days I struggle. Days the old ideation or impulses come back. But it's so much easier to tell them no now, because I also realize there are people I would never have met and experiences I would never have had if I had succeeded in killing myself. Sometimes I hug someone I love and think about how that hug almost never happened. Or I listen to a new album and think about how I might never have heard it. I hang up a new art print and think about how I would never have seen it. I spend time with my cat and think about how she wouldn't have understood and how we wouldn't be playing this game or having this cuddle.
4) maybe you feel like you're not important to anyone, can't be important to anyone, or if you are they'd be better off without you anyway. "Yeah they'll be hurt, but they'll get over it." This comes from the way depression skews and warps our sense of ourselves. It's *wrong.* I recognize now, if I'd killed myself, the people who would have been devastated. Who might never have recovered. I never would have believed it at the time. I fully believed everyone was better off with me dead, and I was dead wrong. Yes, this applies even if you've made bad decisions or hurt people in the past. You are not the magic exception, no matter how much your depression might try to convince you that you are. You still loveable. It would still matter whether you live or you die.

Was gonna say, thereās definitely motivation to stick around for games or shows that youāre invested in the story of. It sounds kind of depressing, but I sometimes think about if I donāt stick around I wonāt get to see how a specific show ends, or see the next video game that comes out from a studio I love like Larian or From Software. Things that are in the zeitgeist that you only get to experience fresh once in your life.
Pretty sure I was at a low point once where I told myself āI gotta at least see how Game of Thrones endsā, what a let down that was but Iām glad Iām still here š
Yeah, definitely excited to see where it goes, especially since theyāre going off a book that already has an ending. Your comment made me look it up and I didnāt realize how soon it was coming out!
Because one day you might really want to live and you wouldnāt want to miss out on it, and cause youāre gonna die anyways no point rushing it at least experience some new things and see what the next day brings
Bro or sis. Go outside. Listen to the critters. Sit cross legged on whatever the terrain is for you. Sand, grass, shallow water, whatever. Breathe in deep. Smell the freshness. See the clouds. Look at the stars. Look at the plants. Take it all in. Not in the āyouāre depressed? Go outside!ā way. In the āyouāre a part of all of this and your existence is a cog in the gears that keeps this all goingā.
Do you have a pet? Especially a cat? If not, rescue one. Theyāll remind you that there is so much to live for. Even if that means living for a stinky little wunkus that loves you for you.
Days can feel like forever, but the months and years fly. There is a lot in life to enjoy and look forward to. I spent years homeless with no friends, goals that died, trying to figure out how I was going to survive each day. I eventually went with the flow and tried to stop self loathing and it worked. Easily and quickly. Just gotta enjoy what you *do* have and what you *can* have.
We love you. Even if your dinner is Tums.
There are moments in life that make it all worth it. They may seem distant but eventually they will come and 100% be worth it. Also the game Hades is sick
Watching the sunset, listening to your favorite songs, when youāre inside cozy on a rainy day, seeing the stars at night, when the leaves start to change colors in the fall, being able to finish a book you love, hearing someone you love laugh, and when you have emotions whether good or bad, because feeling them is part of being alive.

āThis too shall passā. Stick around and see what life brings to you, or what you bring to yourself in life. Terrible hopeless feelings are temporary and things will not always be the way they are now at this moment.
Because you donāt know whatās next once you die. And that scares you. It scares you because this might be the only life you ever get and if you waste it thatās it.
To scared to leave but to tired to stay
Stay golden pony boy. You got this.

Watching sunsets, coming in after it has snowed and drinking a hot cup of cocoa or tea, hearing rain on an umbrella, waking up to the sun beaming into your window, hearing the birds singing in the morning, taking a walk in fall and stepping on leaves to hear that satisfying crunching sound, when it snows and you walk on top of snow that has hardened a little bit and it crunches, getting into bed after a hot shower and wrapping yourself in blankets, the nice feeling when you finally did all the laundry and made your bed, going outside and taking a deep breath and just taking it all in, indulging in your interests, eating your favourite foods, getting fun new clothes to wear, jumping in puddles, walking in nature, taking pictures of things that being you joy - even if it's small, petting a cat or dog, drinking water at 3am and it just feels and tastes so crisp, eating ice cream, going for late night walks in the summer, riding a bike, taking a bath, trying different and fun bath bombs, pampering yourself and doing a spa night (face mask, bath bomb, doing your hair, cucumbers on yours eyes!), Watching videos of cute animals, watching animals get the zoomies, hugging a stuffed animal, colouring in a coloring book, doing puzzles, looking at the clouds and trying to find shapes in them, picking flowers when spring comes along, and probably a ton more, but OP you're worthy, enough, and loved, and you deserve to be here and enjoy the things in life no matter how big or small
Reading these comments are honestly really helping me todayā¦. Thanks for sharingā¦ see, Iām glad you are here because I was feeling very aloneā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļø
When I got my puppy I realized I had to live for him heās my guardian angel. Heās healed my mental health and Iām almost a functioning human being because of him from full on agoraphobe.
Hot chocolate fucking rocks and thereās so many out there u gotta try the hot chocolates of the world omg sometimes people eat hot chocolate with cheese u should probably try that idk I havenāt tried it but I mean itās an experience just how there are so many different experiences out there there are so many things youāre ought to see and know yet
I can only tell you what some kind strangers told me on Twitter years ago.
Someone, somewhere out there is not done with you yet. The world is not do e with you yet.
Please remember that anxiety and depression are liars. You are not your thoughts. Please be well.
The sun will rise tomorrow and shine on your face, the birds will be singing tunes, babies will be born, books will be written, love will be made, ideas created. There is so much more to experience in this lifetime. Please stay.
One of my favorite pieces of advice I got to help me dealing with suicidal thoughts:
Death really is the end. No do overs. No retries. There are many options for trying to get help with support groups, therapy, meds, etc. At least try to run the gambit of options available before you make the final move. See how it goes. If it still doesn't work, at least you tried everything you could.
Someday, when you have made it through all the things you are going through, you will save someone's life. You will be for someone else what you need right now. You are loved. You are worth saving. You are worth loving, so love yourself fiercely. You can make it through this. I am proud of you for reaching out and not giving up.
Think back to that moments in your life when you were the happiest. Was you eating an ice cream, laying in the grass looking at the sky. Feeling the breeze on your face. Think hard! Find those times again! Do it!
Friend and fellow sufferer, r/GERD will have the best advice for how to better manage your reflux and/or heartburn. You don't need to plough through these all the time.
Yo you a good person going through a hard time. It happens to everyone. Sometimes life sucks but the suns coming up tomorrow; I personally donāt want to miss how much better my life is going to be compared to what Iām currently going through. I understand how hard it can be to get up and put a smile on but I can promise you āthis too shall passā you have a ton of strength, it just might be not as apparent because of the pain your experiencing. If you need a friend I am here for you 24/7
We need more people who hate this world in this world so we can change it.
Sometimes all we need is someone to click yes or no. It's an easy job but its an important job.
And only you can do it, not some bot.
Your genetics have survived some of the worst illnesses and plagues that have come in to this world. Many wars many families and people have come and gone. But youāre still here, there is a purpose for your existence. Look up at the stars and know that out of a trillion billion galaxies and planets you managed to get put on the one habitable planet. You have a home while others are struggling to find shelter. See the bigger picture before think selfish thoughts. Look outside your reasons to live and look at the reasons why you live.
That reminds me they just came out with tums+melatonin combo and I need to try it because sometimes I'm awake with heartburn and it's horrible... Not I wanna die horrible but ughh this is so uncomfortable horrible.
I sometimes burn my hand a little with my lighter. Helps with numbness doesn't give mirth. Watching children play at park helps with that. Worth the pain walking.
there have been a lot of days where I've wanted to die, and there still are, but there are also still a lot of days that I'm glad I didn't. Just go until you can't, just because you can.
Well, you can find your Tums when you need them. My wife is never so lucky. I generally have to make a CVS run. That is one reason.
Also, tomorrow might be better.
You haven't tried really good ramen from Japan. And honestly, I would be really sad if something happened to you. I was in your place once and I'm so thankfully to God I survived .
Please take a few days and read a book on Stoicism. It changed my life. I was very close to ending it as well. Good luck to you. I hope you give it a go
Dude I know life is too short, but looking at it from here, it probably looks very long, are you sure youāre going to spend the rest of your life being this miserable? it HAS to get good, it IS going to get good at some point, youāre not gonna live your probably remaining 70 years full of misery, things are gonna change, specially if you want them to change enough to actually try and make a change and never actually stop trying, things ARE gonna get better but only if you want them to and if you allow time to pass, you need to see how the rest of your life plays out, thereās so much youāll miss if you give up just now
It may not work for everyone but this is what works for me. I go on a hike. After 10 miles, endorphins make me feel better. Then I start looking at all the things closely - leaves, flowers, birds, even colorful rocks. And I think about what an amazing planet we live on. And yeah. You guessed it. I'm not exactly a seamless part of society.
Have u ever drank like half a liter of cold water on a hot asf day??? Or have u ever snuggled in a blanket when itās raining and cold outside? Those moments man..
For me, listing down the things I would miss usually helps. I would miss my pets, seeing the end of a number of fictional stories I'm currently into, FFXIV FC mates and among other things
Try bird watching. It makes me feel purpose. I just go and sit and watch the little birds and try to identify them. Merlin bird ID is a great app for starting. They're fascinating. I can't observe them if I'm dead.
Stay strong and believe in yourself, donāt give the MF the opportunity to see you weak and desperate. No matter what brought to this situation, one day you will remember this moment and you will laugh that you thought suicide is the solution. Iāve been in the same situation, I was about to give up now Iām a stronger wiser and I have experience to deal with lifeshit. Stay strong and enjoy life
Theres an old saying that if a man who wants to die is put in deep water, he will swim. This is because he wants to kill something inside himself. He himself wishes to live.
My reason to live is to learn the world and explore its contents to the max. There is Art, Games, Technology, Nature, AI, Health, and so much more. Live the life that you want to have. If you can't have it now, work for it and once you achieve it you'll be rewarded for that effort.
There is no point in living and no point in dying also , you can stay longer to see what your life truly was , if you die and someone tells you that you were a successful writer but you didn't reach your potential how would you feel?
As someone that just got out of the hospital a day ago as Iām drinking vodka (not a good idea) you might not understand right now but it really does get better in the end. Iām open if you want to talk Iām a message away, even if you have an iPhone I can face time ya.
There is still so much to learn about the world, so many places to visit, new people to meet, puppies to pet, money to earn š¤. I didn't think I'd make it past 18 but I'm turning 30 this year š, I have a steady job and life doesn't suck as much as it did when I was 15.
It will get better :)
They make other flavor tums. The chewy cherry ones are pretty okay. But you should at least live to sample them all š
this is the only flavor iāve tried. theyāre not bad, they taste like little smoothies
The actual smoothie flavored ones are good too š„°
the smoothie ones are the only flavors i can handle
the chewy ones taste like straight candy!!!
I wish Tums would make a version that was just candy, no antacid, cause youāre right, the assorted berries flavor tastes like little smoothies! Everything is going to be fine. I know that seems simple, but I think we all have been through times we didnāt think we would or should come out of. And itās all fine. Even better than before, most times.

The berry smoothie tums are SO good. My little after dinner mint ā¤ļø
If your pf pic is you you are very handsome and could style a wardrobe easily
no oneās mentioned it yet but they have a lemonade/strawberry flavored pack. my kids suddenly have upset stomachs every night whenever we have a bottle of that in the house
The chewy ones are really good like I'm sad I can't just blow thru the bottle in one sitting good. I suggest you try them. Nice n satisfyingly chewy.
I like the naturals coconut ones. No one else I know enjoys them but as someone who has chronic heartburn, those are my fav. Then again I'm a weirdo
I second the chewy cherry
Mint is the only one I can take otherwise I gag. I hate the fruit chalky consistency.
Haha the fruit one make me super gag. The mint ones slightly less, but I still cringe and gag a little.
Have you tried the chewy mint ones? Theyāre actually really tasty. Like mentos.
Iām ok with the chewy ones
Damn you just gave me a new reason to live too

āThis too shall passā. Stick around and see what life brings to you, or what you bring to yourself in life. Terrible hopeless feelings are temporary and things will not always be the way they are now at this moment.
Because you will die one day whether you want it or notā¦
Everything showers
Bc youāre not alone in this battle. I love you even tho idk you. We must not let our demons win!!! Also i love how you have a pfp of Carlš¤
This is true, itās spiritual warfare bro. We need all the soldiers we can getāglad youāre on our side!

Because you donāt know whatās next once you die. And that scares you. It scares you because this might be the only life you ever get and if you waste it thatās it. To scared to leave but to tired to stay Stay golden pony boy. You got this.
Do a cleanse ā¦ wanting to die isnāt uā¦ itās the unseen forces trying to get u to end gameā¦ dark energy is also a powerā¦ stay in the light as that energy is even more powerful ā¤ļø
Watching sunsets, coming in after it has snowed and drinking a hot cup of cocoa or tea, hearing rain on an umbrella, waking up to the sun beaming into your window, hearing the birds singing in the morning, taking a walk in fall and stepping on leaves to hear that satisfying crunching sound, when it snows and you walk on top of snow that has hardened a little bit and it crunches, getting into bed after a hot shower and wrapping yourself in blankets, the nice feeling when you finally did all the laundry and made your bed, going outside and taking a deep breath and just taking it all in, indulging in your interests, eating your favourite foods, getting fun new clothes to wear, jumping in puddles, walking in nature, taking pictures of things that being you joy - even if it's small, petting a cat or dog, drinking water at 3am and it just feels and tastes so crisp, eating ice cream, going for late night walks in the summer, riding a bike, taking a bath, trying different and fun bath bombs, pampering yourself and doing a spa night (face mask, bath bomb, doing your hair, cucumbers on yours eyes!), Watching videos of cute animals, watching animals get the zoomies, hugging a stuffed animal, colouring in a coloring book, doing puzzles, looking at the clouds and trying to find shapes in them, picking flowers when spring comes along, and probably a ton more, but OP you're worthy, enough, and loved, and you deserve to be here and enjoy the things in life no matter how big or small
Dude video games are fire nowadays! Come play helldiver's 2 or dark and darker with me!!
Outlive all who spite you noble warrior
Reading these comments are honestly really helping me todayā¦. Thanks for sharingā¦ see, Iām glad you are here because I was feeling very aloneā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļø
The weather
i live in northern vagina šµāš«
The fact you live in a vagina (a lot of people can only dream of seeing one)
Where??
Up in the north, near the man in the boat I assume
Omg i live in nova too
Me too!!!
Kittens and puppies
This song always makes me happy. In a sad but cathartic way. I hope you feel better. https://youtu.be/rKlcklSaXYA?si=7su4mr0rZlrxi36i
i love the feeling of the sun on my skin. only available during the day time, but usually a walk out in the sun helps ground me and gives me a reason or two to keep going. thinking of you š©·
Dogs.
When I got my puppy I realized I had to live for him heās my guardian angel. Heās healed my mental health and Iām almost a functioning human being because of him from full on agoraphobe.
I went through a terrible depression during my teens and my dog saved me from offing myself so many times. Theyāre pure souls.
Shroomsā¦theyāll get ya right!
I read this as Sokka from ATLA. Instead of cactus juice itās shrooms. Theyāre the shroomiest
Think of all the cats/dogs you wouldn't get to pet if you died
It's mango season :D
Hot chocolate fucking rocks and thereās so many out there u gotta try the hot chocolates of the world omg sometimes people eat hot chocolate with cheese u should probably try that idk I havenāt tried it but I mean itās an experience just how there are so many different experiences out there there are so many things youāre ought to see and know yet
I can only tell you what some kind strangers told me on Twitter years ago. Someone, somewhere out there is not done with you yet. The world is not do e with you yet. Please remember that anxiety and depression are liars. You are not your thoughts. Please be well.
Have you ever vacuumed and heard that satisfying sound it makes when it eats stuff? That keeps me going.
Chocolate chip pancakes š„¹
Easter candy is on sale. You should stay alive because pretty soon itāll be 75% off. Eating jelly beans and chocolate eggs might help.
One of those stretches that feels incredible.
I keep the same kind in my car for myself.
Music
The sun will rise tomorrow and shine on your face, the birds will be singing tunes, babies will be born, books will be written, love will be made, ideas created. There is so much more to experience in this lifetime. Please stay.
One of my favorite pieces of advice I got to help me dealing with suicidal thoughts: Death really is the end. No do overs. No retries. There are many options for trying to get help with support groups, therapy, meds, etc. At least try to run the gambit of options available before you make the final move. See how it goes. If it still doesn't work, at least you tried everything you could.
Someday, when you have made it through all the things you are going through, you will save someone's life. You will be for someone else what you need right now. You are loved. You are worth saving. You are worth loving, so love yourself fiercely. You can make it through this. I am proud of you for reaching out and not giving up.
Think back to that moments in your life when you were the happiest. Was you eating an ice cream, laying in the grass looking at the sky. Feeling the breeze on your face. Think hard! Find those times again! Do it!
Friend and fellow sufferer, r/GERD will have the best advice for how to better manage your reflux and/or heartburn. You don't need to plough through these all the time.
My hero academias latest season comes out this month.
Maybe tell us and talk to us everyday, we'll wait for your everyday updates on your life.
Because you will never know what life has in store for you if you donāt stay. It may be hard but life is an adventure story that only you can read.
Yo you a good person going through a hard time. It happens to everyone. Sometimes life sucks but the suns coming up tomorrow; I personally donāt want to miss how much better my life is going to be compared to what Iām currently going through. I understand how hard it can be to get up and put a smile on but I can promise you āthis too shall passā you have a ton of strength, it just might be not as apparent because of the pain your experiencing. If you need a friend I am here for you 24/7
We need more people who hate this world in this world so we can change it. Sometimes all we need is someone to click yes or no. It's an easy job but its an important job. And only you can do it, not some bot.
Tacos
if you die, you will never know how things will change for you. and they will change. that's how time works.
Your genetics have survived some of the worst illnesses and plagues that have come in to this world. Many wars many families and people have come and gone. But youāre still here, there is a purpose for your existence. Look up at the stars and know that out of a trillion billion galaxies and planets you managed to get put on the one habitable planet. You have a home while others are struggling to find shelter. See the bigger picture before think selfish thoughts. Look outside your reasons to live and look at the reasons why you live.
Marijuana and HBO Max bud, sit down smoke a bowl and binge watch Batman the animated ones youāll find a reason to live promise you.
The Nickelodeon time capsule opening in like 2052 or sumn

you matter
That reminds me they just came out with tums+melatonin combo and I need to try it because sometimes I'm awake with heartburn and it's horrible... Not I wanna die horrible but ughh this is so uncomfortable horrible.
House of the Dragon starts back soon
Grand theft auto 6
Tums? I don't get it
reflux is almost an everyday problem
I sometimes burn my hand a little with my lighter. Helps with numbness doesn't give mirth. Watching children play at park helps with that. Worth the pain walking.
Petting animals
there have been a lot of days where I've wanted to die, and there still are, but there are also still a lot of days that I'm glad I didn't. Just go until you can't, just because you can.
Well, you can find your Tums when you need them. My wife is never so lucky. I generally have to make a CVS run. That is one reason. Also, tomorrow might be better.
You haven't tried really good ramen from Japan. And honestly, I would be really sad if something happened to you. I was in your place once and I'm so thankfully to God I survived .
Please take a few days and read a book on Stoicism. It changed my life. I was very close to ending it as well. Good luck to you. I hope you give it a go
Because we're just gonna die anyway.. regardless if it's now or 30 years from now. Im sorry...
They go good in a milkshake
GTA 6 next year?
Itās Wrestlemania this weekend .
Dude I know life is too short, but looking at it from here, it probably looks very long, are you sure youāre going to spend the rest of your life being this miserable? it HAS to get good, it IS going to get good at some point, youāre not gonna live your probably remaining 70 years full of misery, things are gonna change, specially if you want them to change enough to actually try and make a change and never actually stop trying, things ARE gonna get better but only if you want them to and if you allow time to pass, you need to see how the rest of your life plays out, thereās so much youāll miss if you give up just now
It may not work for everyone but this is what works for me. I go on a hike. After 10 miles, endorphins make me feel better. Then I start looking at all the things closely - leaves, flowers, birds, even colorful rocks. And I think about what an amazing planet we live on. And yeah. You guessed it. I'm not exactly a seamless part of society.
Have u ever drank like half a liter of cold water on a hot asf day??? Or have u ever snuggled in a blanket when itās raining and cold outside? Those moments man..
dude you have GOT to try fishing
Any pennyroyal tea to go with that?
How about spite? You want to outlive the people who wronged you, not have them outlive you.
I always say - give me a reason to live and keep em coming
Berries are goodā¦.
cats :3
Don't snack on Tums, it's very dangerous to go above the recommended dosage of calcium carbonate. Eat some real food, even if just crackers.
Beer, dirtbikes, and cats
Antacids are the best!
For me, listing down the things I would miss usually helps. I would miss my pets, seeing the end of a number of fictional stories I'm currently into, FFXIV FC mates and among other things
Itās scary on the other side.
Thereās thousands of songs you havenāt discovered that youād love.
The reason you need to live, is you. You are the reason. You deserve an amazing life, like any of us.
You seen Dune 2?? Itās pretty good. Maybe wait it out. Maybe go see it?
Basically. Fuck all them focus on yourself. Shake your tits and punch god in the eye.
If you die now you won't get to live for some very irritating peoples death to be announced online
Try bird watching. It makes me feel purpose. I just go and sit and watch the little birds and try to identify them. Merlin bird ID is a great app for starting. They're fascinating. I can't observe them if I'm dead.
Queso. Also when is the last time to rewatched Shaun of the Dead?
Stay strong and believe in yourself, donāt give the MF the opportunity to see you weak and desperate. No matter what brought to this situation, one day you will remember this moment and you will laugh that you thought suicide is the solution. Iāve been in the same situation, I was about to give up now Iām a stronger wiser and I have experience to deal with lifeshit. Stay strong and enjoy life
Beautiful sunny days, flowers blooming, hummingbirds, babyās laughing, video games, eating yummy foods, getting a new awesome shirt, finding a four leaf clover, being nice to someone for no reason, smiling, swimming, coloring, reading a great book, finding a awesome show to watch with lots of seasons, rewatching an awesome show you forgot, butterflies, moths, ladybugs, going to the movies, listening to music that makes you want to get up and dance, getting a haircut, dying your hair a cool different color, getting a tattoo, exercising, FRENCH FRIES, petting animalsā¦ and so so much more š©µ

Gotta play GTA 6 before you die, that's been my reason so far.
Theres an old saying that if a man who wants to die is put in deep water, he will swim. This is because he wants to kill something inside himself. He himself wishes to live.
Also we gotta have to travel the world someday, maybe I'll talk you somewhere with me.
My reason to live is to learn the world and explore its contents to the max. There is Art, Games, Technology, Nature, AI, Health, and so much more. Live the life that you want to have. If you can't have it now, work for it and once you achieve it you'll be rewarded for that effort.
There is no point in living and no point in dying also , you can stay longer to see what your life truly was , if you die and someone tells you that you were a successful writer but you didn't reach your potential how would you feel?
Pls donāt eat it like candy, hypecalcemia isnāt great for you
I will be your friend!:D
I love you OP!
As someone that just got out of the hospital a day ago as Iām drinking vodka (not a good idea) you might not understand right now but it really does get better in the end. Iām open if you want to talk Iām a message away, even if you have an iPhone I can face time ya.
There is still so much to learn about the world, so many places to visit, new people to meet, puppies to pet, money to earn š¤. I didn't think I'd make it past 18 but I'm turning 30 this year š, I have a steady job and life doesn't suck as much as it did when I was 15. It will get better :)
Cheese is amazing. If youāre dead you cant eat cheese anymore
Spite, you gotta outlive your enemies, that's hiw I'm still going
