    THE SHIT is a mindset.It may not be suicidal thoughts, but they’re on the path to them. It’s a point of desperation where you really feel like there is no hope or help left in the world. To feel utterly ALONE.

    Many people have been through significantly more traumatic events than I have, but they had close support in those times and felt comforted by them. Not everyone gets that comfort in those times of need. That’s THE SHIT. The understanding that you really are just a flesh bag hurtling through space and the only way to make it better is to help others.

      God, Cruelty Squad goes so fucking hard. I fully recommend it.

      I have definitely not been through the shit then. I have mostly had support.

      The understanding that you really are just a flesh bag hurtling through space and the only way to make it better is to help others.

      I really like that conclusion.
