that was my answer

what's yours?.

what is your true motivation

is it like mine or is it something deper for you?
What other options do we have? We fight killing ourselves so the only other option is doing what we can to have some quality of life and trying to be a productive member of society.

What is anyones true motivation for life and living? We are born and society tells us how we are "suppose to proceed, do and accomplish before we die."

I always wanted to die and never really strived to live and make a life. Now that therapy as cured me from always trying to kill myself I am now just trying to make enough money to live a life where I have a dwelling to go home to so I can hide as much as I can from society, buy food and pay for amenities and wait until I die naturally I suppose.

This can be where survivors search for mother and father figures. Transference issues in counseling can occur and this is normal for childhood abuse survivors.
