Since we're on the subject, I don't mind saying, though it is clearly a controversial topic, that perhaps, suicide is a real blessing for some. I'm not talking about the terminally ill. I'm talking about people who chronically suffer like myself - a seemingly "healthy" 30 yr old in his prime, who has given life a lot of thought, and, after much contemplation and reflection (not out of impulsivity), has decided that it's just not worth it.

I have a background in math, and I see life as an equation (sorry for the nerdiness, folks) ... I work my ***** off just to stay afloat everyday (emotionally). What are the chances that all my efforts so far will be worth it, given my problems and my past ? Even if I DO get better, will the betterment be so mind-blowing that it will sufficiently diminish my decades of suffering ? Likely not. My chances just don't add up to bliss.

Thoughts ?
