[The only reason Rose is posting this is because she thinks it's going up anonymously, but what's one more effort blowing up in her face when that's all she's gotten for the past. Forever, right! Besides, she didn't actually bother to put back her name in when prompted, so everyone gets to see this post from just another asshole instead.]

okay so hear me out

let's say there was some crazy alien parasite infesting you that wanted to
idk destroy the entire world or something
end all of humanity at the very least
now you could live and let all that bullshit happen
i mean god knows how long you'll even be okay with something like that living in you
but anyways
you could do that or you could... you know, die

what would you pick

also before anyone asks: yeah i should probably get therapy but who doesn't need that on this app

Depends on how active it is and how it affects me.

[blacksong]

activity is... not super active
for now anyways
but let's say despite that it's affected several parts of your life negatively

Then it all comes down to how much you want to suffer... If you know it’ll get bad again and make your life worse... If there’s no way to get rid of it... Is it really worth suffering for? Anyone else will tell you to live with it, because they don’t understand the depth of your misery that this unsolvable problem is causing. I don’t know about you, but I can’t live like that. If living is already a chore, and this parasite is only using you as a vessel and making everything worse... What’s the point in dragging things out?

[Now these are some good questions.]

it comes down to other people honestly
if i died because of this they'd be miserable
and i don't want to do that to them

Then you're stuck suffering. Are you asking these questions because you expect someone will have an answer for you? If you want to stay alive for these other people, then it's up to you to find what will lessen your suffering, because no one else will do it for you.

[ Wow he didn't even mean to give advice, he just finds this #relatable ]

[blacksong]

not really since it'd take a fucking miracle for someone to have an answer for a problem you should only see in movies and shit
but i figured it wouldn't hurt to get opinions at least
example: finding something to "lessen my suffering" wasn't an angle i considered but i'll take it
