Do you ever feel like your life sucks? If yes, why do you feel that way? What events have lead up to those feelings?
 
Yes, because I have never really had a life, just an existence. Very little has ever gone in my favour. I have already tried to end it thrice.
 
I have those moments, but it's usually linked to my bouts of depression. In reality, I have had a pretty good life, even if different from what I might have envisioned. Success in my own career, good marriage, son turned out well and has started off his career well. So if I feel like my life sucks, it's a pretty good sign it's my mood moreso than my life that's the problem.
 
No. There are things that happen which do suck but I am pleased with my life. I know if I am seeking change, I can do something about that.
 
I guess not. I don't have what I want, but I have a lot. I've worked hard to get here. I could have a lot more if I had a different personality.

Not compared to this time in 2021; six days after Oct. 12th, 2021 I was admitted to the hospital for voluntary commitment after wanting to kill myself.
 
Yes. I'm currently hopeless. I don't even know why I even exist.
 
i accept it since it's the only way to deal with it because there's no changing it.
 
Sometimes.

Some things aren't the way I want them to be. In fact, a lot of things aren't the way I want them to be. I have issues with anxiety I simply wish I didn't have. I am not particularly passionate about my day job. My desires to be a successful writer have, for the most part, went unanswered no matter how much effort I put into it. I'm burnt out a lot and sometimes it feels like my day's off blur together. It can be exhausting and soul-crushing at times, really.

At the same time, I have a wife I love who loves me back. I am twenty-seven years old and I have never been unemployed. I have never lived paycheck to paycheck (at any point, I could be unemployed for a year and, for the most part, survive it because of how much I have saved up) and I own a nice three bedroom house. Those are things that certainly aren't a given and things that I am thankful for. I am educated and have a decent skillset, and I am, for the most part, healthy.

A lot of the things I have, other people would kill for. I realize this, not to minimize the problems I do have, but to understand that I'm, at the end of the day, ... okay.
 
Frequently, because my life isn't my own, my mental health issues constantly drag me down and I have people constantly looking over my shoulder because I have, on multiple occasions, attempted to end my life.
