Just finished watching Cosmos with Carl Sagan

I wanted to remind myself of how small and insignificant I am so that hopefully it'll be easier to pull the plug on this nightmare that is now my life. I don't think it worked though. I wanted to be alive (and still do). How do you self-destruct when you don't want to but have to?? This is so unnatural.

I think part of what that series tells you is how unique and special you are. That is typically what those types of series attempt to show. While the universe is incomprehensibly large, life is so extremely rare. There are trillions upon trillions of planets, galaxies, moons, stars, asteroids, comets, black holes and so forth. Those are common. The mass of this added together absolutely is not conceivable by us. Life, as far as we can tell, wouldn't even show on a breakdown of the contents of the universe. The percentage would be so astronomically small. Then when you examine life, the extreme majority of it isn't self aware. It just mindlessly exists. I am sure some here would probably find that appealing. But, no my friend, you are not insignificant and you are far more rare and unique than you think you are, for better or for worst. I know that doesn't solve your problem and some here will probably hate me for saying the things I just said.

To clarify, no, this isn't a pro-life speech. I simply think it is accurate.

With all my ramblings out of the way, you are free to detail out your problem of why you feel you have to die when you do not want to. Maybe someone here could be helpful and offer some wisdom and safe advice.

One of the best things you can ever watch
