Family and friends. Going out getting coffee. I hope my volunteering goes well today. Also returning things at the mall.
@PinCushion, im sorry to hear youre feeling down, hopefully things will improve…I find sz tough too, but the right med and therapy can help
Hey, Chordy…long time, no see
Yup, feel the same way
but if you have one person who appreciates your company
then you should seriously stick with it for them.
Even if you don’t know anyone or have any family
I am not certain where this world dumps out into
Two best scenarios is either life dumps into another one
who can offer a very convincing explanation as to why we had to ride
out this existence
Or it dumps out to dreamless eternal death.
Some concerns is that we might wind up stuck in Bardo indefinitely
Or spat back up here on Earth again in a person who is in an even worse and
more depressing situation.
My personal suggestion is to take time out to think hard about what you would really like to have
learnt during your years
Then understand that, with effort, you have the ability to learn it now
and start studying.
Other suggestion is that there are many desperate critters at your local pound who would appreciate you remaining here for them.
My cat is fifty percent of the reason I am still around.

to be valued, simple as that
I had to leave the USA and relocate to New Zealand so that I could be with the one person in the world, asides my deceased parents, who understands and appreciates me.
Always reminds of the lyrics from They Might be Giants song ‘Ana Ng’
“They don’t need me here and I know you’re there where the world goes by like the humid air.”
I’m sorry @PinCushion. That’s such an awful feeling. Are you in a group home?
Yes. I’m in an adult foster care home.
I want my kids to grow into good adults. After that I don’t want to live much longer. Maybe another 10 or so years.
I got a prostate examination lately, and it has caused me to think about what you said about “having more to do before I die”. I feel like I have more to do. I’m hoping I can produce some good writing before I kick the bucket. I’ve been thinking that I’ve got ten or fifteen more years to produce wonders from my pen. I’ll have to wait until after I get a report on my prostate to see if I have more to do. I’ve thought several times that if I had to die soon it would be the biggest anticlimax ever. I’ve also frequented a few near death sites. I think about ninety percent of near death experiences are wonderful beyond words. I’ve got a few things I need to get right before I die, though.
I stood on top of this cliff in Hawaii staring down at the water for an hour. Any thoughts of suicide were gone. My legs shook before I could throw my body off that rock. When I came up from the water and took my first breath I was happy to be alive. I was still scared so I did it again.
Try doing something that terrifies you. It’ll make you stronger. Like sky diving if your feeling self destructive anyways might as well as experience it.
I tried to kill myself while psychotic. I regret it every day, but I was deeply suffering. I appreciate life so much now and will never hurt myself because I love the people around me so much.
