This thread really hit home tonight. I actually had a 'discussion' with my priest today about suicide. It mainly consisted of me saying that although my friends and family would be sad at first, they would be better off without me to drag them down. He, of course, said that was untrue, and that, as a priest, he had enough experience to know that suicide ALWAYS hurts the friends, family, and even acquaintances of the victim. I didn't want to hear it b/c it means that I have to try harder to stay alive, but I think it's probably true. I just struggle so much with the feeling that I am such a burden to everyone...
