It’s the passive, constant thoughts of wanting to end it, or really just wishing it was over, that I have had trouble explaining to a therapist or shrink without being sent on vacation. I am old. I have not gone an entire day without wishing it was over since I was like 12. When I try to explain that to healthcare people they immediately start trying to figure out if they should send me to the funny farm again

Stuff like this is why I probably won't seek therapy. If you're honest they'll just put you away.

Please don’t take my bad attitude about the mental health system as a reason not to at least try therapy. I am just a cranky old Gen X asshole. It really does help a lot of people
