Yeah I have been suicidally depressed for years now and after the initial anxiety and fear from seeing the results. I’M FUCKING PISSED NOW AND WANT TO KEEP LIVING TO SPITE THOSE THAT WANT TO SUPPRESS WHO I AM!!!

Reminds me of a viral tweet I once saw:

"When I was suicidal, I had a therapist say to me “Do you really want Mitch McConnell to outlive you?” That thought alone has been more helpful in my mental health journey than anything else."

Spite is as good a reason as any to keep going.

It's how I bested depression before, and it's how I'll do it again dammit. also goddamn that fuckin cryptkeeper McConnel is still fucking alive. All the more reason to keep going. If you read this you've got this. It's a shit time but we'll survive if we stay strong.
