All Comments on 'Why am I still here?'

Two things I strongly recommend, talk to your friends AND get some counseling.

Another, don't write about it, words sometimes take on a life of their own, if not for you than others. Noting "moniker".

Life ends soon enough. Suppose reincarnation is real, what do you come back as?

Perhaps you are still here because you are simply supposed to be here.

You may not know why you were ever here in the first place, never mind the "still" of it, but in reality that only places you alongside the rest of us; even those who presume to know the answers to such questions.

For what it's worth, I vote that you hang in there.

Five.

In answer to a comment this is not a suicide note. I have a medical condition that causes chronic daily pain (no cure, yet) that makes things just a bit more difficult than I'd like. I do talk to friends, family, and professionals to deal with these thoughts and problems and I strongly encourage anyone else out there who may have these same thoughts to do the same. I know I didn't really address that part so wanted to make sure I did encourage seeking treatment. This was just something that was running through my head at 2 am that I literally wrote in 15 min and posted on a whim. Thanks again for your comments and encouraging seeking treatment for depression.

*aLiar

For what it's worth, I have a genetic spine disease that one day is going to stop me from dancing; not to mention it's incredibly painful. *Warning; this sounds trite* Sometimes, people are like grapes; you stress them and fruit gets good. Although, I'm really sorry that you felt this way, even if for only a moment. The good thing about the internet is you can meet other people who are in pain... which may or may not help. I'm sending you a hug all the way from Spain.

I'm sorry to hear, not without some sympathy. Writing of these things is probably a bad idea.

I would also like to point out "Liar" is the name of a poet here of note.

So "aLiar" may cause some confusion.
