Breath. Just breath. That will be enough. That will be a start. The rest will follow in time.

I’m sorry you’re going through that kinda shit. But there is a point to holding on, Pandananda. And it might not be for the reasons you’d expected. Maybe it’s like the unknown… like with me. I wanted to kill myself and once I almost succeeded. I didn’t want the life I had… I didn’t understand it and didn’t want it. I was just very unhappy and deeply disappointed with my life. I didn’t succeed at doing it, though. And I ended up meeting a someone very unexpectedly. It turned out that she had severe sleep apnea which can cause a stroke or brain damage if left untreated. She didn’t know she had it. I knew because I have it. I prodded her to get a sleep test done and she did and found out that she had severe sleep apnea. She’s being treated for it now and is much better off… because i didn’t kill myself.

I ended up marrying her.

Please don’t leave 5 minutes before the miracle happens, Pandananda. You’re worth it!!!

You stayed alive and because you did, you ended up saving her life. I get it. Maybe I do have a purpose. I just have to stay alive to find out.

I have been having my fair share of troubles. It is hard to feel valuable and worthy when things seem to constantly knock me down. But… as fate would have it, I was able to get some of that validation I seek simply by helping others. You’re acknowledgement has truly lifted my spirits, pandananda! As hard as it may be to see me as someone struggling…. I am! I often feel unloved and unwanted. Today… two things changed that. My reaching out to you made me feel like my life has purpose… and you reaching back to acknowledge my kindness, validated my value as a human being. So, thank you! It’s so nice when things work out like that.

Pandananda, don't try so hard to hang on that you obscure the purpose you are

here at this time and this place. There's a reason that you were brought to this

community. Go with the flow and you may be surprised by the miracle right in front

of you. We Care dear "_ xx
