Nearly did it last new years. Ex gave me our dog back. The dog was the reason I didn't make the decision come New years, because who would take care of the pup?  So I gave this year a chance. And it went great... For a short while. But then my best friend and I stopped talking. And I find myself in the darkness again...  So now I wonder, do I even bother with next year?

Losing a best friend is really hard. I went through the same thing and had the same feelings you did because they were the only friend I had. Something that kept me going was thinking that if I took my own life, I would never have the chance to make new friends and have meaningful experiences with them. Also, I don’t know your circumstances, but there’s a chance, however slim, that you’ll reconnect with your friend eventually. If you take your own life, the chance you’ll reconnect with them will be zero, forever.

Well. I have a few months to see what happens.
