Suicidal people. All of us who have lived through being suicidal. We tell people “it gets better”. And people take it as meaning that everything will be ok that life will be good again and you’ll want to live. But what we don’t say is that things will be hard. Life will never not be hard. But the difference is, what gets better is, you realize that life will get good again when you’re depressed. You realize everything will be ok again. You get to a point where being depressed doesn’t scare you as much anymore, doesn’t drag you down and defeat you as much anymore. You know it will pass and you will feel good about life again. You know you will be happy to be alive again. There may not be any happily ever after where you just realize you don’t want to die and everything is perfect from that moment on. But you realize when you get depressed it is only temporary, and that makes all the difference.

@Anna This is my thoughts about being suicidal. At 25 years old when I was suicidal, I was told that suicide was a permanent decision to a temporary problem. Now I am 50 years old, I think that I have lived through most of my life so in 25 years time I will be dead anyway.
It’s sorta like (and can literally amount to) waiting on a spring or spring like day. You will feel better that day although your life will not be exactly what you once hoped it will be. It gets you though the winter.
