I think that for many of us, suicide is the ultimate escape.
My therapist said to me recently that he heard a quote that reminded him of me: "Dying is easy. Living is hard."
The first time I remember feeling suicidal I was shocked to actually put words to the feelings. But I was just so tired of feeling so low -- I felt useless and didn't know how to help myself. But I also couldn't understand how it had come to this - what had changed so drastically?
A friend said to me: "perhaps nothing has changed. But you've carried so much for so long that you just can't take one more step with that load." That's how I found myself in therapy.
Whatever is going on for you, I hope it gets better soon.
