What stop you from killing yourself?

I considered an overpass near my house but then thought of the trauma I’d leave for whoever hit me. And the inconvenience for whoever had to deal with the scene after.

I thought of that as well. What would be the least traumatic way for others but not leave me alive. I didn’t come up with anything and fortunately life got a lot better.

More afraid I wouldn't die.

Also that. Paralyzed. Brain damaged. Worse than now.

I told my therapist today. She walked through a few questions and therapied me. I’m still at home 🙃

Yeah, that's a very bad idea - you could even cause an accident that takes someone else's life.

This is a good point. I can’t do that :(

Saw the aftermath of someone who did this in front of a semi years ago …it was brutal and that driver was someone I knew from work, he hasn’t recovered. Hell, seeing the aftermath still haunts me and I just had to drive past it…

Glad you’re still here.

This is raw, but very good perspective to jolt me out of this train of thought. Thank you so much ❤️
