The main reason why I write here anymore is because I just want to put my thoughts down. Maybe it is disrespectful to the other people here who have problems greater than mine. I look back on it and realized I had a real nice life. A lot of it I felt suicidal, but thinking about it now I can’t find the reasons why. I know other people on here have legit reasons for their desire to die. Legit suffering. Maybe looking back on it I never had that. It was always good and I was too stupid to really enjoy it. Even now all that anxiety and fear that I feel will feel like nothing years down the line. Maybe months down the line. I’m still wrestling with weather or not I should quit grad school. I said that I was probably going to do it, but now I’m not sure. I’m scared. I really am because I don’t know what the right answer is. I just hope whatever I choose, I’ll look back at this point in time and feel different about it. Like it was all ok. I know there will be times where I’m suicidal again. And those points will feel real and full of suffering. At the time they will be. And in the future regardless of weather or I go through with it or not, I know I’ll feel differently about them. I do still think that I’m worthless and won’t amount to anything. That part hasn’t changed. But I was happy being worthless back then. I had a great childhood. I know not many can say that. I just hope whatever happens I find peace.

Your feelings are valid. Your experience, your thoughts, your emotions…they are all valid. You are allowed to think what you think, and to feel what you feel. You are legitimately and genuinely suffering. And you deserve to recognize that for your own sake. You are just as important as the rest of us.
Your post makes a lot of sense. Although I’m currently living in a very tangible, quantifiable hell, I remember days when I was suicidal long before shit hit the fan. It makes me wonder if some of us get premonitions, sort of a preemptive depression, because we can intuitively sense that our lives are heading for hell even though we aren’t there yet?
Like you I kept a journal over the years, and most of it was focused on suicidal thoughts even though I had it pretty good at the time. Fuck, compared to today I had a charmed life. But somehow I always knew it would end this way. Self-fulfilling prophecy? Or just plain prophecy?
