No I am not. There really isn’t anything I am grateful for, considering that death has been on my mind for years.
I'm saying that for some people it is an option, like the terminally ill or those who are is extreme pain on a daily basis and they simply cannot...
I'm kind of numb to the subject and thought of someone killing themselves, because the thought has been in my head for at least 5 years right now....
That doesn't really tell my why. Why one bothered to continue onward. Things could have easily gone the other way so your logic is pretty much...
That doesn't really answer the question as to why one would choose that over death. It also doesn't explain why you got out when death would have...

Gratitude practices don’t work, period. In my case it’s not about gay being wrong like it was for you. I’m trying to seek advice, but I have to...
I wish I knew where to start.
This is a reply to the attitude of gratitude I read about and they suggested to make a new thread instead of hijacking another. To be honest, I...
Except it isn’t about being gay or queer for me. That was never what it was about. It’s because I don’t act in such ways that I’m alone. I usually...
I don’t think an attitude of gratitude solves the serious philosophical questions of existence.
