Suicide fails are the worst. They thought they had it bad before, but now it's 100 times worse.

This is one of the only things that keeps me from doing it.

Unless you're literally in physical agony, I'd recommend just riding it out however you can. I've been through some shit, but things change. Your experience of being alive changes. When you're miserable, it seems like it will go on forever. Your current experience of being miserable dominates, and being 'not miserable' doesn't even seem like a thing. But life changes, your experience of being a conscious being changes. Even right now you're probably thinking that may be the case for 'some people', but not me. Nope, I guarantee it will change for you too.

This is one of the only things that keeps me from doing it.

Hey, you might enjoy reading some stories from friends and family of loved ones who've killed themselves. Kidding about the 'enjoy' part. It often destroys their lives too. If you hate everyone who loves and cares about you, then killing yourself would be a great way to cause them immense pain, suffering, and guilt.

Do you have a pet?

I have a really big dog.

Dogs are great. What breed is your dog, and what's your dogs name?
