what's keeping you alive?

My children.

I'm still alive because of my values/self-righteous attitude. I've been true some stuff in my life & I didn't really have anyone who who I could really turn to except 1ce. I've learned a lot about things & myself from it & I want to use my experience to try & help others going true something. There is a chance that things for me could improve & in some ways things in my life are fairly comfortable & stable lately so they aren't really bad. And as others have also said there's my family & my chincahilla

Also, I don't want to feel selfish. Because I know that if I were to do it, it would emotionally wreck my mother as she's already been through one suicide (my father committed suicide about 10 years ago), and I know my girlfriend couldn't live without me and she'd at least attempt suicide.

Thank God you will be fine. It's been awhile since I checked WP so I'm sorry this is a bit off topic.

Coffee and my job.

My Parents. I never knew how much my mom did for me until just a few weeks ago. She did everything she could to make sure that I had the same opportunities as NTs. There was no therapy or support groups or Autism Resource Centers in my community when I was diagnosed. She put me in any activity that I wanted to be in or was interested in. That helped me. She also worked with me on issues that happened as a result of school work. She wanted me to have a 'normal' life. It is hard for me to be mad and upset at my parents now. They have done more for me than I ever expected.

My faith.

My children, primarily. Although I sometimes wonder if the money from my life insurance would be more useful for them than my continued existence.

Having Pete Quaife live on in my vintage spirit, is keeping me alive.

I get depression often, but I fear death too much to commit suicide. This world might not be much, but it may be all there is. You have to try and find some enjoyment in it.

My love for music keeps me alive. I would never hear all that wonderful music again.

My mum. I am very close to my mother, and she would be wrecked if something happened to me.
