7. The purpose of including these entries is to offer first-hand insight into the day-to-day struggle of someone living with depression, and the thoughts that circulate in their brain that elicit strong negative emotions.  www. cocapsychotherapy.com

8. As the days creep on, I’m becoming increasingly aware of my negative effect on people. I watch my partner’s disappointment in me grow by the hour, my mother’s sadness deepen with every visibly  www. cocapsychotherapy.com

9. I have been trying to figure out the best way to end this. Do I: Drown myself – they say it’s very peaceful (but how would ‘they’ know) Take a ridiculous number of sleeping pills (I like the sound of this one – drifting into an endless sleep…but what happens if it is just a terrible nightmare I can never wake up from) Strangling myself – this one seems tough to do…I experimented with it a bit, but the actual situation is incredibly stressful. I feel like my own rape victim. Slit my wrists and bleed out…not a fan www. cocapsychotherapy.com

10. Basically, I am aware that the reason I actually don’t go through with any of them is because I have no idea what to expect once I achieve my goal – obviously – but still, the unknown is more scary than escaping this world that I am no longer fit to survive in.  www. cocapsychotherapy.com
