      there’s a reason my username is shortened from the Latin for “I want to leave”. I don’t necessarily want to die, I just don’t want to be here anymore. Unfortunately for us both, leaving society as a whole without dying is rather difficult.

        Lately, I’ve been rationalizing it as “I don’t want to die, I want to WANT to live.”

        Still figuring out how to make it happen, but at least now I’ve got a catchy slogan for it

          I feel like one of those Chinese bears they keep in concrete cages to milk for bile.

          Therapy and a more positive outlook on life is not gonna solve my problems.

              It helped me insomuch as it helped me verbalize my grievances. Did shit to address them, only I can do that, and I can’t do shit about them.

        You can, unless your teeth or something else becomes a health problem you can’t fix.
        That really is the most important thing stopping me even if there’s but a small chance this will happen.
        It’s a game of luck, you could live to 90 if you go to a fertile area without extreme conditions.
        I’m sure there’s plenty of those people out there.
        You obviously won’t hear them or of them.
        And you can get a disease while in society and still die because there is no cure.
