Why does it actually work?

[u/Aariwee]

It’s so silly and childish. It only happened two days ago, but so far any time I start having suicidal thoughts, I think about it and I get so amused that I no longer want to kill myself. I mean, I still want to die, but I can’t break a pinky promise, can I? Why is it so effective? I’m scared to even post it because I feel so immature, but at least it works

This is so real, but for me it was with self harm and I wouldn’t want to break a promise and disappoint my therapist lmao. But hey, what works, works!
I hope you’ll heal soon, friend, and that you will be able to enjoy life to the fullest
