    I’ve been in a bit of pain the last few weeks, my knee giving me grief and my tooth deciding to go nuclear so I made a joke saying " I wish the grim reaper would stop flirting and just kill me already". Didn’t get the laugh I was going for, just the look of concern.

      Wanting to die and committing suicide are totally separate things. Suicidal ideation requires a focus on a method… It’s very specific, often like a specific bridge, or a specific method, like pills or a gun. Take that option away, and overwhelmingly people don’t find another

      Saying “I want to fall off the Earth” is nowhere close to saying “I want to jump off a building”. The first one is an expression of a feeling of exhaustion with life, the second one is a potential cry for help

    If I was president, I’d build a railing around the rim and make the lizard people pay for it!
