Discussion Finding a place in this mess

[Reishi]

Look ... if you've been on this forum long enough you know I've made a few... shit ive made a crazy amount of attempts.. they sometimes leading me to ending up in the hospital or just doing my best to forget they ever happened.
I'm not immortal, none of us are but I do know that I'm still here ... and because of that I want to do my very best at helping others figure out ways they can find peace even if I haven't been able to find mine yet . I know it will probably hurt me a lot in the end making friends just to see them ctb over and over but ... for the past year it's been what I've been good at. I ease people's minds before they find a way forward... I lend a helping hand and anyway that I can and for me that's the closest thing to peace I can give myself right now.

I'm mentally ill and I might flip flop and say things that I don't exactly mean but for me ... I want to help ... and I want to honor both the people who are struggling now and the ones who are no longer with us .
I love you all and even if things are shit right now it doesn't mean that people aren't experiencing the same feelings you are. Life is fucked but it doesn't mean we have to face it alone.

Wanting to help others can be a way to take yourself out of yourself. Feeling isolated can allow a sort of narrowing focus of gloom to grow and make alternatives seem unreachable.

You are a wonderful person. It touches my heart to know someone like you exists. It will get easier if you change your perspective on death. Consider this: perhaps death is not destruction, not a defeat.. In any case, the most fascinating and phantasmagorical adventure awaits you ahead. Keep your chin up.

Sadly I can't... I've seen more death then anyone should ever see in a given lifetime and its destroyed me both inside and out.... but thanks for your kind works.
