Don’t let depression fool you into thinking your family would be better off though. I lost both my father and my husband, and I am surely not better off.
All of them are about me dying. Whether it involves hurting others or just myself. It's always tied to me dying. I hate it. It is becoming overwhelming. Its like it's becoming stronger. I opened a bottle and help the pills and counted them whilst having one of these thoughts. The whole thing played out in my head like watching a movie with me in it. When it was over I was in the closet holding a handful of pills and the other bottles in a bag. Everything right now feels like too much. There's too much going on in my head. Too many feelings about too much stuff.
