This is something a lot of people don’t realize. Staying alive when you are depressed and suicidal is so hard and actually very selfless. People are quick to point out that suicide is a selfish act. Maybe it is. But I haven’t heard many people acknowledge how selfless it is to stay alive when you’re suicidal.
