The living IS the reason. I can fully understand your not wishing to be a part of the process, though. (((hugs)))
I am recently encouraged by the research results regarding depression..from two different areas... HELP IS ON THE WAY we only have to hang on until they get it to us!!!
My T asks that I hang in with him until he finds something that helps me with my depression. HE has hope that it's out there... Now what a shame it would be if we all gave up the day before someone found the answer for us???
Try to stop asking the question, and distract yourself otherwise. Things won't always feel this bad.
