Hi Tepi
I don't suppose there's a good reason not to kill yourself. If we looked at life rationally we might try to kill ourselves more often. But once it's done and you're dead, something truly lovely and beautiful is killed forever. There is so much humanity in all of us, and in you in particular, and much of that is bound up with our suffering. I mean life sucks anyway, even if you're not depressed. "It is said that the amount of suffering in life equals the amount of pleasure. We can test the truth of this by looking at the following situation where one animal is eating another." (Or something like that) Schopenhauer. You are a very warm and lovely person and I want you to be as well and eventually as happy as you can be on this earth.
love
Declan
