Casual Reminders on a Bad Day

[Startedraining]

1. You are not a failure. You have never been a failure. You are alive and you have your whole life ahead of you, and although that may not seem like much of a miracle most of the time, I assure you it's something to be proud of.

2. Relationships of any kind do not define you as a person. Familial, platonic or romantic. Don't beat yourself up over what you could or should have done. You have to think of what they mean to you right now, and try to understand what they will mean for you in the future. If you have avoidable problems with certain people, talk to them and get it off your mind.

3. Do not be afraid to ask for support when you're depressed, but if you can't, understand that even if you fell into these negative thought patterns by mistake, they can be overcome. You've done it before and you can do it again. It may be harder this time, but you have the advantage of experience and knowing you made it this far.

5. Never give up. Because somebody loves you, and deep down, you love you too. Doesn't matter how much you hate yourself, because in order to hate yourself you need to cover up the parts of you that aren't quite worthy of hatred. The parts that may even be admirable. Thanks to your existence, you while make a difference in a world, and however small that seem to you it may be quite huge to someone else.

6. You have so much power to change. To improve. To make good on something that may otherwise turn out bad. Don't ignore this ability. Throw yourself into everything with as much passion as you can, trying to do the best job that can be done. The only reason you can become a better person is because you're already great.

Pass it on.

Things others have said to help you:

This saved my life once;

“I never got why people kill themselves,
If you want to die, obviously you don't give a crap about, like about anyone, 'cause if there is anyone who loves you, you don't give a CRAP about them, or hurting them, and if there is not, there is no one to really care about hurting.

So instead of killing yourself why don't you just get the heck out? leave the basement, leave your house, leave the country. Go on an adventure, spend your time doing something awesome, like tracking down some terrorists, go be James Bond. Go mess up a shark with a harpoon. Danger? Screw that! you were going up against a 100% death rate before, you're being safe now.

Screw EVERYTHING. Man, now, The World is your oyster.

Sometimes I wish I was suicidal, I'd pull the barrel out of my mouth, point it in the air, start a revolution. LIVE. Move to Barcelona, go to parties, have fun.

And then, when I'm done maybe I won't kill myself because I would have seen just how beautiful the world really is”
