 This is literally the easy way out. Men’s suicide rates so high because they never deal or talk about their issues. Burring them will only mask them and help temporarily. 
 When I was at this place in my life as a teenager one day I was at the end of my rope and the thought occurred to me “well I can always take the easy way out later so why don’t I just see how it goes a while longer” and I was never that close to the edge again. A moment of clarity and helping each other find that moment is critical. Maybe just a post on nostr saved a life. 
 Psilocybin mushrooms helped me here.  "I control the gameboard and the piece.  I can stop playing at any time if I wish.  Fuck it, may as well keep playing for now and see where it leads."
