Today, after feeling suicidal because I saw him with another woman, I found myself on the freeway in the dark, speeding, crying, hoping I would wreck. A minute later, a deer bolted out in front of me. I hit the breaks so hard I nearly rolled the car. And I sat there in silence, thankful to be alive. MMT

There's your sign. It will all be ok.

be thankful you didn't hit a person or another car while speeding. It is selfish to let your feelings threaten everyone around you.

Sod off #2, how insensitive can you be? You're more than likely the person who picked NTMMS OP, I'm glad that horrible situation turned out for the best, hopefully your life is a lot better.

No, #2 is right, thought it could have been phrased more sensitively. I can understand why OP would feel so upset, but everyone who feels suicidal should know they deserve to feel good and get help for it. Furthermore, in life no matter if bad things happen to us that weren't our fault, it's still our responsibility to heal from them and not take out our emotions by putting other innocent people at risk. This is coming from someone who has been the innocent victim before.

I understand what you mean, I thought I wanted to die and then I got into an accident and realized just how much I want to live. However, I wasn't the one recklessly endangering others. Imagine if you had hit a small car full of children, and demolished them without a second thought. Depression should be treated professionally. My best friend killed herself, and it ruined our lives realizing if she had spoken to a therapist or asked for help everything could have been okay.
