I had one year. Does that count? She said she was unable to offer more progress as it was beyond her scope. It wasn't about this though. It was about my abusive father.

What about all the good things though. The joy and love you've experienced... aren't you glad you got the chance to live?
So far I am, yeah. Like I said, I think the worst is yet to come.
I do, after all, believe this: "It is not only the ratio of pleasure to pain that determines the quality of a life, but also the sheer quantity of pain. Once a certain threshold of pain is passed, no amount of pleasure can compensate for it." - David Benetar

I'm not suicidal at all by the way. I enjoy the present moment. The bad shit may not happen until I'm on my deathbed with excruciating cancer. I bet when I am I will be thinking "Life wasn't worth this" though.
