There is a part in all of us that doesn't want to die. It is why we struggle.
You're here, on an online mental health support group, and you're saying that you want to feel different than you do. that the pain overwhelms you. that looking at the future means looking down.
Everyone here knows what that feels like. And everyone here has made their way to the other side of it. Some of us (me) have made it by coming here to PSB and doing exactly what the both of you are doing. Daring anyone to help them, daring anyone to talk them back from the edge. People here do their best to come through. That's the deal we make.
I guess I would ask both of you to keep on keeping on. Shit stinks, that's its nature. But it doesn't last.
My post here is intended to let you both know that someone in Connecticut is sitting in her room, typing at her computer, hoping she can read a post from you tomorrow. Hoping that when that dark night falls over her world, and she buys her own bottle of Jack Daniels, and when she returns to thinking that her ex boyfriend could provide some sort of absolution, she can come here to PSB, and have the both of you here to help her through.
Stick around. We need you.
