Heather,
I know this will come across as rude and disrespectful, which it probably is, but I'm in that kind of mood and I think you, my friend, are in need of assistance. Please don't think 'my friend' means I think of you as a 'friend' - I don't really know you, I just call everyone that. It's a quirk. Anyway:
You're suicidal? Don't even consider it. Okay, consider it, but don't follow through. There is a lot life has to offer, a lot of beauty, even if it's just pictures of the Horsehead Nebula or things that are not even of this earth. Think about it logically too. Some of the best people in this world have been depressed at one time or another. And many of them survived it.
So don't lie, march right out there into reality and sort yourself out, if only for purest stubbornness. Get to a hospital. Get medical attention.
I might not be your biggest fan, but believe it or not, I care what happens to you. Because we're all in the shit together, my friend, all struggling through a life that makes no sense in a world our species long ago fucked up. I care that much that I, with my usual eloquence and arrogance actually felt so strongly I had to swear. And I don't, not much. Only in periods of strong emotion.
Heather, it is a beautiful life, and if your life isn't like that right now, you have to make it that way, not wallow in a pit of shadows, torment and self-pity. If I had the attention span to ever be depressed, I would hope someone cared enough to rant nonsensically like this online. And I hope you realise how lucky you are that we, the pulsing, secret heart of the internet, even give a monkey about you, whereas there are others like you who have no one. There is a way out of this tunnel, this cave, this prison, and it does not involve death, no, it is simpler than you can imagine.
Please Heather, think logically.
Please do the right thing.
Yours sincerely/truly/however-I-should-end-this-ly, Rebecca Marshall.
