I need love, I need reassurance, and I especially need friends right now. My grandfather has declined with his cancer... dramatically. I was fired from a job that I had just... fallen for... found my calling if you will... gone. Plus, to top everything off... Im sick. Please... someone convince me not to just... stop trying, give up, and again wonder why I breathe.
I need help, and for once Im not afraid to ask for it.

Don't give up, don't stop trying.
I'm so sorry that you've had to go through all those rough times, but things can get better at any moment and I am sure they will. You want to make sure you're there when that happens.
Listen to happy music, cheerful music. That helps me very often when everything just falls apart, I hope it helps you too.
Just don't give up.

You've been through a lot of painful stuff. But the reason it hurts so bad is that you are lucky enough to have had some really good things in your life. And you will have special things thing all throughout your life--and hardship too. But its your choice--cherish the good memories, or dwell on the old. You should cherish.

I wish I could be with you right not in person. to hold you and let you cry or talk or whatever you need, times will get harder with your grandfathers illness, jobs are hard to find. I lost two because I couldn't hide the cutting forever. One time over 10 years but the next only 6 weeks. Music doesn't help me but journaling does mostly free writing about anything in my head when I get up in the morning. also yard work. anything physical to move your body. please take care and write to me
