Most of the people I've been closest too... so close that I could tell them anything... have attempted suicide at least once in their lives, and I would never, ever think less of them. I would be extremely upset, and heartbroken if one my friends committed suicide, but why on earth would I blame them, think less of them, demean them? I would want to remember all the good times we had, all the stupid fun things we did, being there for them when they needed it, making them feel better when they were down.
Depression can be pretty fu
cking serious, and it really fu
cks with your head. You start believing really fu
cked up things, and it's almost like you're stuck in a black hole not being able to escape. I've spent many days waking up, and going to bed looking at my pill bottles on my night stand wondering if today is the day I will down the whole thing and be able to finally escape.
