All the time spent contemplating suicide .. if spent otherwise might change things. Yes ... there are many negatives in life ... but there are as many or MORE positives. When a negative comes to mind, chase it away with a positive .. thought and/or action.
It is really not hard to do. Spend your time solving what you can, coping with what you cannot, and know that what you cannot fix NOW, you probably can later. Then .. spend some time CELEBRATING the things you HAVE solved.
Ending one's life is simply NOT ON THE TABLE ... not an option ... not a possibility. Give all that negative time to the trashcan .. and DWELL in the positive ... both actively and passively.
Give yourself a break.
