I hope you recover soon. I’ve been depressed in the past and convinced that suicide is the right path. It is not - when you’re mentally ill you lose perspective and people telling you “it’ll get better” or “life is worth living” but thay will seem hollow.

If you find it difficult to understand why people want you to live then maybe think of it this way: what have you got to lose? If you’ve decided it’s over and there is no point, then you might as well try the support and the medication because you’ve got nothing left to lose.

I’m glad I took the support and the meds. It did get better, and that was the route for me to heal and change the direction of my life.

I hope you try, and maybe realise that it wouldn’t be a true decision if you’re too mentally unwell to make a rational decision.
