Suicide is not really about wanting to die, it’s about wanting pain to stop. Identify the exact nature of your pain, find others who beat that pain, and ask them to teach you new solutions. Some pain can’t be stopped and only adapted to, but so many live in needless agony.

I am realizing that I have not dealt well with chronic pain for the last 10 years at least, and need to come up with new approaches, because all I have done to deal with it is use unhealthy coping mechanisms, and eliminated activities I love/d.

What kind of pain is it? Joint, back, muscle... other?

and now, from most recent, being hit about 8 weeks ago, while stopped at a stop light, I am going through another set of invasive procedures.

I’d make a joke about cars being the problem, but wow, this is awful. No wonder you’re struggling. This would send me into a tailspin. What are you doing to keep yourself going?

I have 4 kids and a wife I love. Need to get back to where I love myself too. I have defined my life by pain and disability. Just truly realized that a few days ago. Came up with a long list of what I used to do or curtailed due to things. I have not added things to my life.

Huge bombshell moment. Sounds like you’ve got a plan for the war.
