    So sorry to hear it. I’ve had my battles with depression too. And holy shit antidepressants. I gained 30 lbs and got vertigo so bad that I fell out of chairs.

    That said, my little brother killed himself 19 years ago, and I can tell you that it still wrecks our family every day. Suicide doesn’t solve anything.

    It took me a long time but eventually I found a good therapist to work with and things got better for me. There’s lots of purpose to be found in life. The fucking capitalist pigs do all they can to take it from us. Fight back, make things better for yourself and others, and don’t let the pigs win.

    Call a help line if you feel like hurting yourself, and you can always reach out here if you need to talk. There are lots of comrades here who have faced down the same dark shit you’re feeling.

    You are strong and can do this. I send you solidarity and love.
