Daily Prompt

Dear Shelley,

I am so proud you made it to 100 years old. I am currently 30 as I am writing this, and honestly, I don’t see myself making it another 5 years. I am sick of the never-ending drugs I have to take just to not kill myself, and every panic attack I have I always think to myself “I can’t take many more of these”. I’ve already tried suicide 9 times in the past 14 years but have failed every time. Clearly, there’s a part of me that wants to live very badly. You clearly figured it out, and I sincerely hope I learn what it is very soon.

Congrats on winning against your severe depression and suicidal tendencies. When the time comes, I hope it is painless and quick. Please say hello to Tango and Charles for me…and any other pets I have lost in the next 70 years.

Happy birthday!
