I’m a twenty year old in college… and there’s a lot that’s happened in the past few years that has made me question life in its entirety. Prior to my senior year in high school, my father was diagnosed with lung and esophagus cancer. It was a difficult struggle to see the dramatic [...]

I realize that there are many of you who are in the same amount or worse pain than I am. I need to tell my story, and hope that someone can help me.
The past five years have been a nightmare for me.  One of my very closest friends died at the age of 48 from [...]

I… really don’t know what to do. Yesterday, I wrote a post that expressed my desire to no longer live, and yet, I find that something odd is holding me back. Between the wonderful comments yesterday and my family actually being nice to me despite me not even saying much to them, I was actually… [...]

I never thought things would come to this… but here I am, writing.
At age 25 I found out that I had to have urgent open heart surgery to replace my aortic valve. I was in 60% heart failure without even knowing it and could have died at any time. I had the procedure done, and [...]

If only I didn’t exist
The pain never stops,
The darkness is closing in
I close my eyes and hope they never open again
I want to scream,
All this rage inside
I wish I had a gun,
To end all this craziness inside in [...]

I’m so very sorry. I’ve made a permanent decision that in 2 months, I will definitely kill myself.
Please, don’t try to change my mind. I’ve made it up, and you all shouldn’t waste your energy on filth like me.
I’ve been living in a fantasy world for years now, and the wall separating my fantasy world [...]
