Caring People

Suicide is a thought many of us have or have had. People say "Don't because the people who love you will miss you", "Your life matters" or "You're intended for great things". What happens when you know those aren't true? When you've been abused by your family and due to self doubt haven't been able to make stable friends? When you know your life doesn't matter because you don't have anyone close enough to actually care? Can someone truly care for you when they don't really know you like that? Many come to this site because suicide is close to the surface but the thought of actually taking their own life is... to hard? unimaginable?

Yes, it is possible for someone to care for you without having met you in person. Thank you to everyone here who encourages life to go on. I have contemplated suicide several times recently and have come to realize there are others who have been where I was and cared enough to take time out of their days to say an encouraging or kind word. You may not hear this enough but it is greatly appreciated by those of us in need.
