I saw someone else say, "All this advice from people who don't know what it's like." They're right. Anyone who gives your advice and says you need to be positive...they think they can imagine what it's like for you, but they're just full of good intentions. I also don't want to live another day, or hear that I should call 988, or talk to my doctor about it. You feel this way because you have tried it all. Even hope can be too hard to manage. Thank you for being honest, and not using humor or false hope to make it easier to swallow.

I just saw you started discussion about favorite movies, love it. I have not thought of "Little Miss Sunshine" for a long time. Going to try and see if can find and watch tonight.

Good day I know what you say when folks say things will get better. Luckily they don't know what is going on with you. I am a retired nurse and believe in giving good information - even though it is hard some times. I do not like to tell people what is going on with me. I was in a serious car accident when I was 13 years, I fractured my skull from ear to ear. I was in a coma for awhile, had many other injuries, I have had brain cancer a few years ago - my neurosurgeon said laser surgery should work. I went through that - and it did clear for about two years then it returned. I decided to get a new oncologist and he decided to do a heavy dose of chemotherapy. Which we did and I have been in remission for over 4 years. I have had three surgeries on my right knee last year. They did not seem to heal. Finally after my 3rd surgery, it did heal. Other things have happened, which I don't want to. I agree that good therapy is to say "We are not 21 any more, and have a great day."
