Living for others

[Abyss Dweller]

I'm trying my best to be as positive and kind to others as I can at all times.
What keeps me going is that maybe, just maybe my existence had a positive effect on someone. Or that my exit would cause too much pain for some.

Why don't I ctb right now?

Because it would ruin my poor dad who I know did the best he could.

Because I'm trying to be strong for my sister and my nephew who is going through hard times (he has lots of physical symptoms like hair loss and fast beating heart). But they are their own family. They would be there for each other.

Because it would probably upset my psychiatrist and psychologist. Both of them are wonderful ladies who deserve all the happiness. But they are professionals.. they probably dealt with it.

Because maybe.. just maybe I can be a positive force here.. but no, either noone gives a flying fuck or I'm not being helpful at all.

So I'm left with living until my dad passes.

I wish I could cut into myself or hurt myself to take away the pain some of you are feeling. You don't deserve it. I'd do it in a heartbeat.

I understand how you feel. I've spent a large portion of my life staying alive for others so that they don't get upset when I go. It's so hard to sacrifice yourself for others especially when you have nobody to support you. I can fully empathise

i can't relate to you, but i'm very certain they'll all be upset when you go, and i'm sure they would appreciate you trying to stay alive because of them. it's very heartwarming to see someone to want to keep living for others they deeply care about. i'm sure your existence has a positive effect on all the people you know.

I'm also staying for my Dad although, I'm less of a positive force in the world. I admire you for what you're trying to do for your family.

I'm the opposite I guess. I live in the vain hope some day I'll be seen, wanted, and cherished some day. I've practically given up on actively trying to do things for people. It'll never be good enough, they'll always be disappointed. The right people seem to come when you least expect it. I'll try not to ruin next time.

Also sticking around for my loved ones. With my ma getting older I'm not sure how long I'll be forcing myself to hang around.

I wouldn't be so quick to undermine your own passing and how it affects your psychs. You don't know for certain if they've dealt with losing patients before, and even if they did that's still a patient that was under their care that no longer is. I've been browsing mental health professional forums these last few months out of curiosity and the overwhelming consensus seems to be that losing a patient cripples them regardless if it's their first or not.

I admire your drive to be a force for good, even if nobody recognizes it. You sound like a beautiful person. I've accepted myself as being a coarse and mean person who struggles to connect with others, so for that I wish I was more like you.
