Do I know you? Because that might have been me. I've grown away from his philsophy but, back then, there was moment in my life where I suddenly, said to myself "well I can always end it so why not see if it gets better". It did get better. It wasn't an instant cure, but it was a massive moment of awakening I am sure this book contributed to making available to me.

yeah funny you say that bc I think the book would seem pretty worthless to someone who isn’t in an overwhelming situation

One of the realities of crushing depression is a complete inability to be present in the moment. Man does that suck!

I think about it a lot. like when a paramedic arrives on the scene and they immediately try to calm the victim down just by saying “breathe”.

It's so simple that it seems impossible.
