I came across an older article on The Mighty that spoke to me, especially this paragraph.
I purpose another way to view those who battle suicidal thoughts: They are brave and perseverant every moment that they continue living. They are strong for dealing with their vast internal turmoil day after day and year after year. They are selfless for sticking around because people rely on them and they know their death would be a burden to others. They exude hope in each moment that they continue fighting. Sometimes the burden is too much and people don’t have the resources, circumstances, support, or will to continue on, but this isn’t their fault No one gets to choose whether or not they have depression or how depression will affect their mind and body.
