It's beside the point but I feel the urge to write it. Traumatizing people with ones suicide always has a bitter taste to me. (No offense meant Lady Butterfly. It's just my opinion atm.)
I get it. The message is: I feel horrible and despite that I keep going. Still...
Don't worry, suicidal people know. In fact, chances are they're extremely aware of it. Maybe they even despite themselves even more due to it
It's just that they suffer so much, that suicide still seems desirable
The best description ive seen is that its like being in a burning building standing at a window. Jumping out would be committing suicide. For some people the pain from the burning building grows so much they cant take it anymore and jump.
I think I didn't describe clearly enough, what I meant to say. I didn't talk about the fact that someone feels like or in fact can't be helped and continuing to live is just insufferable. And the decision to commit suicide hurts friends and family. I don't judge anyone for that - as long as I didn't walk in their shoes I can't.
What I mean is, that some decide to kill themselves and hurt/kill/traumatize people in the process. How do I describe it, without naming it? You know: Trains. Or high buildings. Ghost drivers.
Amateur. Walking into traffic is how I cross streets of Mumbai.
That's because it's the right thing to do.
I was there and the cars, the trucks and everything in-between, are everywhere except their own fucking lane!
Everybody was in a hurry like all of you overslept and are now late to the class.
