i do have priorities, somewhat. getting through my courses i guess... looking for a job simply has to wait, i'm in no condition to be trying to make myself an appealing candidate.
i don't have friends, this is all i have, and my t when i see him. though i don't feel i can be so open or real... i trust him, but we're just starting out, and i'm afraid of appearing pathetic and immature for my age. i guess i've always had that fear... i feel like inside i'm childish, selfish, needy, unresponsible, unable to take care of myself when i've always felt pressure to be mature for my age.
i see my t tuesday. not much point in trying to get it moved to tomorrow.
really, the only thing that bothers me about suicide is its' effect on people. but i have this feeling that i can't escape it even if i want to, like it's my destiny to die by suicide, that that's what all this struggle is leading to. i feel like every time i choose not to do it i'm only putting it off. and if that's so, i want it to be at the "best" time possible... which is now, while my 3mo nephew is too little to remember me and my family have him to bring joy to ease the pain... i'm afraid the chance will slip away, and i'll just end up doing it later, when it'll be even worse than now.
i don't want to do this to them, but i can't bear living! why does it have to be this way?
It does not have to be this way...you can make that decision to change. Yes, you can
A three month old nephew does not have the power to replace you. If anything, it will cause more pain because it will bring back memories of you being that age.

It's not your destiny. Period.
We, and I include myself, tend to use destiny as an excuse when we are hurting and very tired...it's easier to say it than it is to believe others and do what is necessary to Feel Like Living.
If you want to wait until Tuesday to see your T even though there is good reason to call sooner--print out every one of your posts and the replies. That T is your anchor right now, Tao.

The best time possible??
There is no best time possible for it.
Let me share something with you...
My last thought when I was losing consciousness after ODing was, "OS, what have I done!? I want to live but now I can't try and change anyt..." Sickening fear and guilt was all I felt; it ain't no picnic.

Obviously, I survived. I'm grateful.
Hurt my family? Destroy their peace of mind? Not give them a chance to help me?
No one sees these things clearly when they are hurting, no one. That's when stepping out in faith, based on love and care, is the right thing to do.
It gives you a second chance and it gives them a chance

Priorities? Living and enjoying it.
Doing what is necessary to have that prize.
