I wish suicide was easy.

Life keeps changing. In my darkest time when I was getting ready to let go, I told myself that for the moment I can barely keep going but I knew I couldn't handle it if things got any worse. And so I kept going, and it sucked, but I waited and waited, and then circumstances changed without notice and new possibilities opened up out of the blue, in a way that I would have never imagined. Looking back now, it still scares me to think how hopeless and helpless and pointless everything was, how ready I was to end it and I didn't give a shit about who might get hurt by my actions. Now I am building a better life that I couldn't see as a possibility back then. This wasn't an option until it was, there was no way out until there was, but things changed.

It's entirely possible that it will just keep getting worse, and it's entirely possible that there is something better down the road if you can just wait and see. You got through today, try to get through tomorrow. But things will change eventually. Try to hang in there and wait to see where it takes you.

I would never recommend suicide to anyone, even though I believe that it is understandable in some cases. Talk to someone, anyone. PM me if you want to chat. Sometimes a new perspective can help. I can't promise you it will get better, I don't know you or what you are are going though, and I wouldn't presume to know better. I can only promise you that things will change in time. It always does.
