1. Over the course of your entire life, how many people have told you that they’ll “always be there for you”?
2. Where are they now?
My answers:
1. Around 5. Two parents, maybe 3 (ex-)girlfriends.
2. Both parents are 1000 miles away, living a self-absorbed life. Who the hell knows where my exes are, it’s been years.

No one has ever told me that. Maybe some friends high on ecstasy but I dont think that really counts coz when your in that state you are telling everyone, even strangers that you love them. I think my mom feels that way but she never like told me. I sometimes think that it would be better if she didn´t care. I only disappoint her after all…
A bunch of people have told me that; some stayed, some didn’t.
This has been one of the greatest disappointments of my life and is a source of deep, deep sadness, loneliness, confusion and fear. It is encouraged to reach out for support, especially when you feel suicidal, but what is not acknowledged is what happens when you ask for that support, if it is even there at all. And I often wonder why I have to ask when the people closest to me are well aware of my situation.
Thank you for posting.
“And I often wonder why I have to ask when the people closest to me are well aware of my situation.”
That’s the sad truth of the matter. Words are just words, and people close to us (if any) are well aware of the situation. Nobody can hide suicide that well, despite what everyone says to the news reporters after the fact (“We had no idea!”).
1. too many
2. one or two… or three.
This one’s easy:
Zero.
