I don't have any funny comment to add, but I'll say this to anyone that may need to hear it:

You are loved. Please don't choose a permanent solution to a temporary problem. It does it gets better. It may not seem like it's possible, but it is. Ask me how I know.

Not all problems are temporary, and some problems only have a single solution.

My brother felt the same way. About 6 years later I did as well. Not a day has passed that I haven't thought of him. I'm thankful that I'm still here and I really wish he was also

Have you seen the state of things? The world is rapidly approaching WW3. In the US and got laid off in December, now this loser is making things more expensive and finding a job is harder than ever.... Sometimes it really isn't worth it.

Don't let the loser win. Your existence alone is revolutionary.

I'm not hear to argue with you about anything. I just gave my personal testimony regarding suicide. Sorry it that caused you to feel some type of way, as believe me, that was not my intention at all. I just wanted to help someone who might need to hear my story.

Some people don't seem to realize how fucked humanity is, we're on the downfall of the current empire and things always get ugly at the end. So why stay here to see it all and suffer? Better to exit now and be done with it...

Well, my brother took his life nearly 20 years ago, and the state of the world and this country wasn't perfect, but it was in a much better place.

Most of my problems revolve around money and if it's gonna ruin my life, I can just...not be a part of life at all.

It got better for you, that doesn't mean it always gets better. It really depends on the cause of someone's suffering.

I just posted my very personal comment to help people, not start a debate.

Not trying to either, it's personal to me too. Someone close to me had to suffer, and it never got better for them. Not through lack of trying either, it juat didn't get better. I think they will be happier now having moved on.
