Fake it til you make it

As someone on the edge, just overwhelmed and wanting an escape, I just told myself "I'm not suicidal" "I want to live." Not sure if it's bad /unhealthy cope and band aid, or even true. But honestly I don't know what I feel right now. I'm very lost. My entire narrative is changing multiple times a day. It's really exhausting to go through this but as much as it's ok to ctb as an adult, it's also ok to want to live.

There can be events and situations that cause immense pain. However, they may be temporary or one might gain the skills to manage or master them. There can be all sorts of possibilities that result in making it worthwhile to persevere.
