Taking your own life is a waste of a perfectly capable human being, whom despite their faults, only allows themselves to be stopped by mental blocks and the like.

(or boyfriend if that's your preference) We might not get the job we want, or the grade we wanted on a test, and we might be bullied or feel like we don't fit it.

The fact of the matter is, our weak points, our faults, life's challenges, our personal struggles, all of it - all of it makes up who we are.

How we face our demons and overcome life's troubles not only will define us in our future but it will also give us a sense of accomplishment, relief, success. If anyone who eventually became famous had taken their life in their darkest hour the world would be a depressing and boring place.

Yes mental illness exists and it can be damn hard to overcome but while the mind is a powerful tool capable of making us submit it is also a strong force in the opposite direction, which when used in the right way, is an even more extraordinary force.

Ultimately its your decision what to do with your life. End it if you must but as many people can vouch with me on this. if theres is even one thing left in this world you want to do, see, or accomplish then perhaps you should wait. You have nothing to lose right?

ps: I typically dont post about serious topics here but this one is important. The chances of major depression returning after having it once goes way up. And after that goes up astronomically. Case in point, if you have had real depression before chances say most likely it will return one if not many more times. I say this not to scare someone but to say learn everything you can from the trouble in your life. Without low points and trouble the ability to enjoy the good things does not evolve. For a person stuck in a dark hole for months, having a walk in the park on a nice sunny day can make them feel wonderful. Simple things, one step at a time.
