Come on Possessed. Don’t be silly. I understand things are tough for you now and you’re tired of it, but that doesn’t mean the only solution is to end everything.

I know you thought treatment for your alcoholism was unnecessarily costly, but did you ever get treatment for your depression? A good person to talk to and depression meds can really help with these things. If you already tried, maybe you just weren’t talking to the right person or using the right meds. I know it can be hard to be motivated mentally to even want to get better, but just know that getting help could completely change your perspective.

If you really do feel like you want to leave your life behind, have you ever considered doing something that isn’t so permanent? If you’re really tired of where you’re at, why don’t you move away? Get a different job? Do something crazy? It’s a big world out there with a lot to offer. To think that the best option for your future is just death is honestly pretty naive.

I’d just say, consider the fact that there’s absolutely a scenario in which you twenty years from now are loving life and are thankful your younger self didn’t let his depression and alcoholism make his decisions for him.
