And in regards to people who have committed suicide who seemed so happy, I myself am a walking contradiction too. People always wonder how I can be laughing all the time and cracking jokes... It's because IDGAF anymore. I have to laugh because if I didn't, I would cry. As one doctor once said to me- Megan, the reason you're always so tired is because you've been treading water your entire life, you expend all your energy to keep your head above water and you can't pause to rest because if you did, you would drown in a sea of your own tears. Sorry for the long post, but I feel so passionately about this subject. We should all have the right to die with dignity. Please be considerate of the suffering of those loved ones you have lost, for one moment put aside your own pain and consider the suffering of others...
