    That evening, someone didn’t get the pizza they ordered. They must’ve been pretty bummed about it. But Anon was certainly happier to eat it than they were upset to not get it, so total happiness increases!

        yea most likely someone just had to wait double the time for their pizza, which can be as little as 20minutes

          The way I heard it was different. I heard the whole family was part of a death cult had planned to kill themselves by ordering an anthrax pizza at a shady pizzaria. Anon shared that pizza with the delivery guy, but as the later started experiencing strange symptoms, anon was unscathed. He called an ambulance in time for them to save him, and while running tests on Anon, they found a so far unknown antibody that made him immune to anthrax and some other pathogens and that could be used to save others. This night, Anon probably saved thousands, both by helping uncover a death cult conspiracy and helping medicine improve. The family that had ordered the suicide pizza went to therapy and came out alright. A raccoon safely gave birth that night. She would’ve been ran over by the pizza guy had he not seen Anon and stopped. One of the little raccoons would later forage a garbage container, throwing out a pipebomb that was on it’s way. This allowed the bomb to be found and disarmed in time, saving dozens of lives, including Anon’s.

      Probably the boss explained something happened and sent them another pizze for free or gave them a refund.

      This is a good saying and sometimes true, but mental illness is usually a forever problem. I don’t say that to disparage it either; depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, and internalized abuse fucking suck and it takes a while to tear down the self preservation instinct to the point where an ending can seem appealing, even if just for a moment.

        This is why we need to legalize psychedelics. When paired with counseling, they can create moments where you can see alternatives, which gives therapy a solid shot at success even for advanced cases.

          I’m 100% with you. I’m my case it’s not just seeing alternatives but feeling them that motivates me. I’ve felt them before, that things could be different from within me, and I want to feel them again.

        Eventually I realized that life itself is a temporary problem in the grand scheme of infinities. That realization kept me alive long enough to develop more positive coping tools.

      the temporary problem of always being a corporate slave until I die anyways, and failing every attempt at running a business or getting a better paying job, etc. Health continually tanking, bloody poop, constant migraines, cognitive decline, way behind on taxes again, feeling stressed out by any and all social stuff, no motovation to do anything yet trudging on for no idea why, nothing is fun, earth is being killed by the ultra rich and nothing is working, the masses are becoming more stupid and only helping worsen everything. dunno probably more. it comes and goes for me. my animals still need me but if I didn’t have them I wouldn’t have the energy for more of this shit. Maybe if it didn’t cost so much to merely be alive, let alone do or have enjoyable things.

    Got stopped by a rando while trying to build up the courage to jump. Told him that my car was broken down and that’s why I was stopped in the middle of the bridge in pouring down rain.

    He got out and offered to help me, despite the fact that it was 3AM and the rain was coming down hard.

    Awkward.

    The car of course started just fine and I thanked him and continued my drive home.

    I doubt he had any idea the difference he made.

    I mean, to be fair he was literally out with a friend. A new friend, yes, but a friend.

    Don’t let your worst day be your last. A large portion of people who survive true suicide attempts tell you they changed their mind as they jumped.

    If you’re feeling suicidal, the solution isn’t to remove yourself from the situation. The solution is to get out of the situation that makes you feel that way. There are people who want to help you do that. Make the call ❤️

      I’ve never been personally suicidal, but if there’s ever been anything that made me fear the idea of ever doing it, it would be “The View From Halfway Down” in Bojack Horseman (both the episode and the titular poem)

        Bojack Horseman would have gone down in history as legendary if they had let that be the last episode. I didn’t particularly like the final episode. Maybe i just didn’t get what it was going for but the build up to what seemed like bojack dying alone through every fault of his own would have been an extremely fitting end for the series. Just my opinion tho.

        I can’t rewatch the series because of that episode punching far too close to home and because i didn’t like the actual ending. Epic episode instant existential spiral.

          They were following the pattern of every other season where the penultimate episode is the one that goes for maximum dread and then the final episode pulls you back from the edge a bit. Personally I love the final episode. It wraps up a lot of the stories while still leaving the question of Bojack’s mental health open-ended.

        Ha, I didn’t make it very clear, but yes, the solution is not to remove yourself from “them” but to get “them” away from you, whoever or whatever those aggravating conditions may be

        I’m not a charity, but there are many, when you decide to be strong and change instead of weak and taking it lying down.

          I’m on an island. I’ve called every charity in my city. None of them can help. You have no idea what you’re talking about if you tell people they can just leave the situations that cause them distress.

            I said it’s what’s needed. I stand by that.

            I didn’t say it was always easy. The fact is it’s often hard.
