10 Reasons Why
You Shouldn't Kill Yourself:
1. Because you have so
much potential.
2. Even if you think that you're alone and that no one will
care, people would care. I would care. I care now.
3. You're better than your disease. You're more than
it.
4. You will miss out on so much. Think about all the good things
and memories you have had. I know you had some. You had good
times with people. Even if those ended, you smiled. There will be
so many people, your husband, your wife, friends, teachers, and
even your own children that you will never be able to meet
because of this.
5. Because you're telling others that it's okay to quit
and give up.
6. The people that bring you down, think about them. Won't it
feel great to prove them wrong? Won't it feel great to be a
rockstar, an artist, a writer, or whatever your dreams are?
Won't it feel amazing when they're 40 and still spewing
out hatred while you're on top and finally happy because you
have pushed yourself.
7. You impact lives. A simple on the stranger on the street that
smiles at me, made my day. You could too by just moving some
muscles on your face. So you impact lives, even if you don't
want to.
8. It's a mistake. And it's really hard to fix. When I
was suicidal and standing on the edge, I kept thinking to myself,
"what if I regret doing this? What if I want to reverse
jumping and go back to the way things were?" But it'd be
too late. I can't turn back the time. I'd be falling to
my death. Full of regret.
9. Cause people care and you are not alone. I have met some
incredible people who actually get it. Have faith. Happy endings
do exist. If you're not happy, then the war isn't over
yet. Keep fighting. And keep pushing. You will give love and get
love one day.
10. Because it gets so much better. I love you and I'm here
for you all.

1. it's no good having potential if you never get to use it. If I'm I'm not going to fulfilled my potential I'd rather die now than at sometime in the future having not fulfilled it anyway
2. I care about the starving people in Africa but I do nothing about it so they end up in the same position as if I didn't care. Caring isn't a nice warm feeling, it costs, time and emotional energy, no one is willing to spend that on me
3. My disease won't exist if I'm dead
4. If I have good memories etc, it's been a long time since I enjoyed them, besides heaven is a much better place than here
5. That's their choice, they tell me it's ok to be to people on a regular basis so why shouldn't I give them a demonstration of what being to people can lead to
6. I don't have dreams
7. Yet another reason that is about them not me, it's time someone else took over the baton and started smiling at people on the street
8. Death is not the end
9. I am alone, very much alone, I've never been so alone, Often I go all day without a conversation other than "large cappuccino please" then all night I sit alone. People don't give a hoot, if they did they would come in and spend time with me instead of walking by smiling their inane smiles and waving their stupid waves, it's only a 5mm piece of glass that separates us but it might as well be a million miles
10. When does it get easier, it hasn't for the last 29 years. ok so at some point I had a wife but now she's run off with another man the only way I can see forward is to go and join them. You might love me but you're not here for me, you might be there for me but like all the others you're not here. In fact most of the people who would call themselves friends haven't even rung since my wife's memorial service in January
I'm sorry if I'm the first response you've had, thank you for having a go anyway. Don't worry, I probably won't top myself but there have been many times when I just can't think of any way forward
I love this song, I'm not a words of affirmation type person but it's almost like Clare is singing these words to me and it's made me cry every time I've heard it (ww.youtube.com/watch?v=emHrsJ93Sr0)
