Daisy, if you're ever wondering about reasons to stick around, contact me, ok? I'll be happy to relay how much I care about you, and how devastated I'd be if you weren't around.
I understand, really I do. You've got sooo much going on. More than any person of any sensibility at all could handle without wanting to crumble. And I understand the pull of suicide as an escape. I tell my therapist that I couldn't bear life if I didn't know I could end it.
But maybe there are ways and ways to crumble. Maybe you could crumble in a way that you *think* would cause more pain than just leaving life would cause for your family and loved ones (include me in that). But you're wrong, you know. No matter how much pain admitting you can't do it all, asking for help, throwing in the towel at work, or going to the hospital would cause, it's nothing like the pain your suicide would cause.
Please remember that.
Because I might need you to remind me of it at any time.
