exactly this i'm in that empty moment right now and i'm afraid to admit that i don't prefer this. it's funny because when the storm is back all i want is for it to go away but it feels more real than this dumb baseless safety i feel right now.

Kek, that's exactly how i felt. I'd say throw yourself back in if you really miss those huge waves, do whatever you feel its best anon, even if it means insanity. Better to live in constant madness than to be trapped forever in a false sense of security.

yeah the thing is i'm not actually on any medication it just kind of calmed down after a suicide attempt and now i'm just here feeling emptier than ever

The thing that helps me stay away from suicide is the uncertainty of what will happen next. If i'm this fucked, i dread to imagine what awaits on the other side.

as boring and unpleasant as things feel now, there is also the sense that we are living in interesting times, and am kept alive by the thought of 'i wouldnt want to miss this', whatever 'this' may end up being.

i like to think of life as a difficult 'stunt' to pull off, where as death is not the 'endgoal/achievement/victory', but merely the safety net to catch us should we fall. it would be a cool experience,(falling onto a giant trampoline), perhaps it would even be better than the 'endgoal'.

but we know so little, both about death, and the 'endgoal'

yeah you're completely right the more the days pass the more i accept that maybe i'm entering a new phase of life finally where torment and suffering aren't my main emotions. it's not easy when most things feel dull and i feel like i'm constantly looking for a purpose now. i think i've found something in just wanting to gain a lot of knowledge in the few subjects that really interest me. it sounds like you might've experienced something similar so advice is welcome
