If you’re suicidal the rules of what’s good for you change. If you’re in a state so bad that you want to discontinue your own life, anything that will make you want to live is good. Even if in other situations it would be seen as unhealthy, shameful, childish or obsessive, if it’s going to make you want to live for a bit longer it’s the correct choice. For instance, self harm is bad, but, if it’s the choice between that and wanting to die? Allowed. Skipping all work/chores/studies and spending a day in bed or bath or or the floor would usually be frowned upon, but if you’re suicidal? The right choice! Dropping anything that makes you want to live less is a good choice, and completely avoiding anything that makes you die is great. It doesn’t matter if everyone thinks you’re avoidant or lazy or irresponsible, fuck them, you’re fighting for your own life here, and they’re interfering. Their opinions can take a hike.
Only thing that is still not okay is trying to control someone else with how you feel. Making suicide threats to someone, making them feel as if your life is in their hands now, still not okay, not permitted. But anything else goes. Your life continuing is worth more than anything in the world being done, and more important than any social rules being obeyed.

Sister signs share the root of their fatal flaws.
Loneliness- Selfishness v. Co-dependence
Because no one cares for you, you must care for yourself above all else.
Because you can’t care for yourself, you need someone to remind you that you’re alive.
Depression- Apathy v. Despair
The depth of your sorrow renders you cold, complacent, and numb.
The depth of your sorrow makes you burn with agonizing despair.
Boredom- Chasing v. Fleeing
You run after anything that brings color to this dull, grey world.
You run away from the burdens that drain the joy and color from life.
Insecurity- Self-Defeat v. Contempt
You’re afraid to try. You make excuses and keep yourself down.
You’re afraid you’re not good enough. You bring others down to compensate.
Arrogance- Narcissism v. Hubris
You’re in love with yourself. Everyone should love you, too.
You’re in love with your own vision. Everyone should follow your example.
Fear- Anxiety v. Disassociation
You fidget, obsess, and worry, worry, worry about what tomorrow brings.
You escape, detach, and tell yourself that nothing matters anyway.
Remembering my grandpa today. His old photo albums are filled with pictures of smiles, friends, and girls. I like to think that after 5 years of war and hunger he had his share of freedom and peace, was able to enjoy his youth.
He would’ve been 96 today (May 2). Rest in peace grandpa, I love you.
