I agree totally with shellybean, man. I think about suicide occassionally, and I used to think about it all the time. My depression is getting better but it could always come back. But at least now I know I could never kill myself... and you know what stops me? The fact that I can imagine the aftermath. I'll share that creative imagery with you. Now Henry, take a minute to imagine to imagine what would happen if you killed yourself:
-Imagine the look on the faces of all your closest friends when they find out. -Imagine some of your friends not being able to deal with it and killing themselves like shellybean said. -Imagine other people turning to heavy, heavy drug use to try to cope, maybe becoming murderous or psychotic as a side effect, totally changing them. -Imagine everyone being depressed for years and years afterwards. -Imagine someone that knew you coming back to Laconia again and asking "Where's Henry?" and reopening everyone's wounds.
That probably made you feel worse for right now, but you'll be better off in the long run if you imagine that, since you'll be focusing on the way everyone else would hurt then instead of how you hurt now.
