No idea what to expect. Can't wait. Hope it satisfies.

I'm 15 minutes in and struggling to continue because something about his vocal tone is distracting me. I'll press on and get back to you.

Not trying to be an ass, but I'm struggling to concentrate on this, what is his general message? I have trouble focusing these days. I guess 3 videos is tough to summarize?

Do these videos make you feel pro or against ctb?

My issue with wanting to ctb is because I can't even really comprehend things anymore.

Can someone assist in summarizing his points?

Thank you so much for this post. It does make you reflect about the real weight and implications of suicide. I have pretty much rationally justified my decision but I've been struggling with the moral implications (mainly how it would affect others). I think this will help me to better deal with guilt and all sort of dilemmas that have been haunting me. Thanks again.
