>>433279214I'm not OP, but I'm 40+ and have a few things to say.
I've been suicidal more times than I care to remember. I have so many health problems, it would take me a month to list them all. I was once confined to a wheelchair, so sick that I alternated between fearing I would die and wishing I would die. I'm also bipolar. I've experienced abuse in my childhood, bullying at school, getting screwed over by countless people (even many of my doctors), I've faced death on more than one occasion, and that's just what I can think of, off the top of my head.
So I feel I'm more than qualified to tell you that yes, it does get better. If you're healthy, then *you* are far more qualified than I am to keep plugging through life. As I once read right here on /b/...
"Instead of killing yourself, why don't you just get the fuck out? Leave the basement, leave your house, leave the motherfucking country. Go on an adventure. Spend your time doing something awesome, like tracking down some terrorists. Go be James Bond. Go fuck up a shark with a harpoon. Danger? Fuck that, you were going up against 100% death rate before, so you're being safe now. Fuck EVERYTHING, man, the world is your oyster.
Sometimes I wish I were suicidal. I'd pull the barrel out of my mouth and point it in the air, start a revolution, LIVE. Move to Barcelona, hit the bars, band some chicks. STD's, who fucking gives a shit?
And then when I'm done, maybe I wouldn't want to kill myself, 'cause I've seen how beautiful this world is.
"
