Floating towards the edge of the universe

I recently stumbled upon a book-length suicide note by an aspiring philosopher named Clayton Atreus who became paraplegic after a motorcycle accident and committed suicide about 2 years later.
Even though Clayton talks about the extreme difficulties that paraplegia inevitably causes and thus deems life with paraplegia not worth living in his specific case, his thoughts and deep analysis can be applied to ordinary able-bodied people, too. Long story short, his notes may help you come to terms with death much more easily. I definitely recommend giving it a read if you can.
I should warn you in advance that the book contains very disturbing details about paraplegia and life in general. It might send you down the spiral of a full blown existential gloom if you are in a worse state of mind than most of others in this forum. He's being brutally honest in topics that the majority find appalling, so viewer discretion is definitely advised.
