I'm here to lurk and see that I'm not alone.
This might be my first post on this board.
I'd love to leave everything behind, except for what it would do to my family and the few friends I've got.
Why not go to my friends and family for support?
I'm a grown man now. I've got a job, and most of everything on my surface looks normal (no gf though). I don't want to be an emotional black hole to them for the same reason that I can't kill myself. So they get to see me sad sometimes, but they can't ever know how I want to leave everything.
As for secretly loving the pain I experience; no, I don't think I'm that fucked up yet. Though, sometimes I get in a bad situation and it is interesting in a detached, intellectual sense.
