Please don’t do suicide John . You are here on earth for a reason. All you have to do is find your purpose then follow that purpose. I once almost killed myself when I was in my twenties but I’m glad i didn’t or I wouldn’t be able to see the world and the blessings that I now have. ( before psych classes)

And only this year did the approve an anticonvulsant specifically for it. Hopefully something good will come from this beside a billionaire pharmaceutical owner getting richer.

I remember my illness started in 2018 I did not want to live like this. Very sad 😢 but not suicidal though. This site has helped in so many ways.
