Knowing other people that suffered like you and endured the same pain you’ve felt is very comforting, having this much people that actually understood your pain better than yourself. I like hearing honest things like “if it doesn’t go your way you can always pull the trigger” than “its going to be okay, stop thinking about depressing things” because you know it’s reality and that’s where its going to end. At least reading other’s experiences made me realize that there is still a chance and that I can still wait for tommorow I was able to endure this shit for 13 years a couple more days wouldn’t hurt.

Kindred… How could you. This is low even for you.
I’m torn on this subject. Like you said, there is comfort in knowing you’re not alone. But then it just reminds you how severely messed up the world is. I suppose I can find comfort reading about people in history who were depressed and still made a huge difference in the world. Like Abraham Lincoln or Beethoven. But hearing about others who, like me, are just waiting to die, that usually makes things worse. Would be nice if some ex SP members would come back and let us know how they beat this.
I think it’s only worth being alive if you can expect good things to happen in the future.
I’ve fucked up my life sometimes and thought it was over, but even in the darkest moments I could rationally get to the conclusion that good things could still happen. The problem then becomes judging if these good things are worth all the trouble, and even though most of the time I believe they are not worth it, I still keep going. That’s why I think my hope is incomprehensible.
I’ve seen your comments around. I like them. Would be a pity not to be able to see more of them, so I hope you are able to see the possibility of good things in your future.
Yeah but only a couple and that is where we draw the line
