Life is shitty. That’s how it is, and it won’t change. I’ve read many many posts on this website, and I can empathize deeply with many posters. Family problems, work problems, relationship problems, it’s all the fucking same. These problems make us feel SO shitty that some of us would rather commit suicide than suffer through another second of it.
Is this fair? Fair to feel shitty for most part of our days? Sleep is the only escape. I don’t feel shitty while in slumber, but it gets to me as soon as I wake. Sleep is great, however it is still a temporary fix and never comes easy. Suicide is a permanent fix. Permanent slumber. Forever.
Life is shitty. No, we are not trying to be happy. We are trying to not feel shitty, which is not happiness, but a step closer. I need help getting to that closer step.

No one here can really tell you anything is going to change, people can try and offer the right words, try and give you a bit of hope etc. But ultimately they are here feeling pretty shitty and considering, or at least have considered, taking their life too. It’s very sad to see that all of these problems are common for so many people… But hopefully it is also reassuring to know it is not just them, they are not alone in this shitty life :0)
I don’t actually think life is shitty, today I think it’s pretty awesome.
I have thought like that for many years, though. But today the sun is out, my shades are down, there’s a gentle breeze blowing into my room, and I’m sat at my laptop in the company of some cool SPers.
