I'm so happy and life is wonderful. If I ever feel sad, angry, hopeless, fearful or anxious, I will follow the advice 99 out of 100 people give me- fake it! If I keep doing this , as I have been my entire life, eventually all negativity will cease to exist. Thanks for the great advice!

You might like to consider removing your post as talk of suicide either real or imagined is not allowed on any of the H/U forums.

I removed my post in relation to suicide. I am sorry to have exposed others to my negative emotions. Sorry to my therapist, family, friends and pastor, and people using this website. My SISU - a Finnish term meaning lasting, independent strength and courage is failing me.

Well talk of suicide is not banned per se, but saying you are going to do it and asking for help with methods etc. could trigger others and the admin could either put a triggering warning on or even delete it.

If you are not sure the best thing to do is report it to the admin and let them decide. x
