Quote:I've been low but I can't imagine being that low. I can't condemn someone but I don't understand it.

 

I can't personally understand those who take their own lives when they have loving families who respect and very much need them -- although with the presence of certain mental disorders, circumstances become a moot point -- but we don't all have that; in fact, some of us have nothing of the sort.  I've "been there," more times than I can count... and as bad as I know it sounds, constant intense substance abuse has always sort of been my only savior.  Subsistence in unending dissipation is my key, but most people don't have that, or don't want that, as pernicious lifestyles can be so off-putting.  "I wouldn't recommend sex, drugs, or insanity for everyone; but they've always worked for me."  

 

I really like the fact that this thread exists, and for the most part I'm really enjoying/respecting the replies.  That is all.
