What's worse is when the word "just" is thrown in. "Just let it go."

Oh, alright, I'll JUST let it go, willy-nilly. No problem!

Sorry, I don't mean to turn this into my own rant.
It does seem impossible, and I may never do so. It does make me a failure, until I do it.
There was a therapist that once said "I think you're using your suicidal intents as a comfortable blanket." Sure it's wrong to hold onto these feelings, but when they've be the only thing you have, what do you cling to? I know that means I have to find new things, but nobody does anything with me any more. I have to do everything by myself. What and how do I find new things?
