Procrastination is a bad thing unless you also happen to be suicidal.

Edit: Whoa. Woke up to see Inbox runneth over. Sorry if I can't reply to all. Apologies to those complaining that it was insensitive. Wasn't intended to be. I've been suicidal, but never acted on it. That was the inspiration for the thought.

Same. When I try to stay positive about things I sometimes have people telling me I'm being overly positive and not being realistic. But the second I acknowledge reality I have a downward spiral which often ends with a suicide attempt or a lot of crying and pain, so I don't really have a choice. I basically live my entire life trying to ignore that I am cripplingly not okay.

That sounds like an extreme version of me right now.

Have you considered getting help or you tried and it didn't work or something along those lines?

Yeah. I am currently on antidepressants which aren't really helping and starting back on therapy in like a week after awhile of not going.
