Started with AA, but then I found a more specialized program that dealt with the issues that I was dealing with. Say the hardest point was logically deducing that the lives of my loved ones would be better off if I was gone. You know what I mean? And thinking that my mom and my friends, that their life would be better if I took myself out of the picture.

And for one, I just figured, you know, their friend's canceled. You know, her son is a disgrace. My family's going to think they raised me wrong. And my friends, I'm a social pariah now. I'm a burden. I'm better off dead. And the hard part was, you know, I would read stories in books written by parents who lost their kids to suicide. And they reported feeling a lot of anger after the suicide.

So I tried to think of what's the way I can do it to get the least amount of anger on behalf of the people who would grieve. Because hanging someone will discover you. So I figured drinking myself to death would be the way to do it. And I wasn't able to. Yeah, that was just a dark place. I remember hating the people who loved me because I knew they would grieve and that made me mad.

That makes sense. Like I was ready to go. I had no will to live. But their grief was like, I didn't want to cause that. I didn't want to hurt them. So I was like, I hated the people who loved me because they were stopping me from taking my own life. You know, and it's weird to think that like when I was going through that, if you walk by me in the street, I look like a normal guy.

And so now when I walk around and I see people, I think to myself, you have no idea what that person is going through. It's crazy that so many people are suffering in complete silence and they don't wear it on them.

I also thought, if I could write down what I just told you on a piece of paper, and I was to do it, and then they found the note, they would take it more seriously. because they would know that I wasn't lying. Yeah. But then, you know, if you do it, it reduces the lifespan of your parents by 15 years. So I looked at it like I was taking time away from them.

If you have any kind of platform, you know, whether it doesn't have to be famous on Instagram, it could be like if you're a pillar of your community in the culinary world or whatever it is. Just be hyper aware of that and remember that you are inheriting a power dynamic that can create situations where there might be some pressure that you don't even realize is there, but it's definitely there.
