Quite by the by, I've been looking at EM Cioran, to cheer myself up.
Here are some of his aphorisms.....
I do not forgive myself for being born. It is as if creeping into this world, I had profaned a mystery, betrayed some momentous pledge, committed a fault of nameless gravity. Yet in a less assured mood, birth seems a calamity I would be miserable not having known
For a long timealways, in factI have known that life here on earth is not what I needed and that I wasn't able to deal with it; for this reason and for this reason alone, I have acquired a touch of spiritual pride, so that my existence seems to me the degradation and the erosion of a psalm.
There was a time when time did not yet exist... The rejection of birth is nothing but the nostalgia for this time before time.
He who hates himself is not humble.
It's not worth the bother of killing yourself, since you always kill yourself too late.
