Why kill yourself if I may ask?

I’m on a crash course for a slow painful death, so I’ve at times figured I’d prefer a quick pop and I’m done, but curious as to your reason?

I am all ears for you, I’ve been through horrible ■■■■, it’s nice to know I don’t suffer alone.

Christmas and the month of December is tough. For some reason stuff goes wrong and depression sets in . . . who knows what all contributes to this.

Are you on medication and have you tried therapy ?

hi Paul, i don’t like Christmas much either. my dad is not here and it makes Christmas somewhat tough, if you’re own your own, try to see someone and not be alone. if you see people and are with family do what you think is right for you. i wish you luck and will be thinking of you and others who are alone.
