    I, too, fantasize about my coworkers wondering where I am, cue comedy smash cut to my slowly swinging corpse

    If/when I do kms it won’t be by hanging but it’s a funnier mental image

        That’s nothing to joke about.

        Like hell it isn’t. For some of us, joking about these things are how we stave them off.

        On antidepressants and in therapy, which is why I am still here. It is funny, though. Imagine it:

        Scene: several people are sitting in a zoom call, with cameras on. It’s dead silent.

        Coworker 1: Should we just get started?

        Coworker 2: Probably, pix’s missed the other meetings today too, I doubt they’ll show up now.

        Coworker 3: I’m starting to get pretty sick of them being so unreliable. I hope whatever they’re doing instead of at least letting us know they won’t be here is important.

        Hard cut to my torso and legs, neck and head out of frame, gently swinging suspended above the ground

        This continues for a couple seconds, letting the shock factor linger, before the Seinfeld outro slap bass starts playing

          Still not funny.

          Really: get help! Talk to someone!

          There are so many beautiful things to live for. And if it’s just very dark humor.

          It might seems funny to think in such scenarios but it leads you on a certain path. It’s the same if with all other topics. The more you think about it, the more you live in this world / scenario. At one time this world becomes so normal that next - potential dangerous - steps don’t seem so crazy, as they might do, judged from the outside.

          So please: take care and try to focus on other, positive things in life 😊

          You got this, buddy!
