When I was in high school, I found a quote online:
Anyone desperate enough for suicide should be desperate enough to go to creative extremes to solve problems: elope at midnight, stow away on the boat to New Zealand and start over, do what they always wanted to do but were afraid to try. — Richard Bach
When I’m going through a rough time, I try to remember that.
If the options I’m comfortable with are no longer options, I try to reach out and choose one that might be uncomfortable at first, but might solve more problems than it causes. Needing to adjust to a new way of living, new support systems, and new challenges are things that I can learn to overcome. Death isn’t something anyone can come back from; if I’m willing to die, I should be willing to live first.

Love it
