I am of a believe that I will come out of this at some point. I am strong enough to get through the bad and faithful enough to know that there is something incredible around the corner.

I know everything happens for a reason and I will learn from this experience.
I have gone from comfortable and securer 12 months ago, with a fiance and a house, happy (with no social skills and a huge hole inside me) to leaving her and trying to find what is missing in my life. I had a something short but incredible with another person which broke me. And now I am rebuilding and enjoying being alone.

I have a housemate now which has been a huge help for me. Getting me out of my shell introducing me to new and hopefully helping me to be comfortable around people. Kinda putting me in the deep end, but it is working.

And my goal is to be able to move overseas and start a new life. Be able to make friends, start a new job. All by myself. I think that will be very satisfying and I will feel that I have beaten this.

Anyway sorry if that is long and random. but that is why I will fight on

If I could snap my fingers to do so, along with erasing everyone's memory of me - then yes, without a moment's hesitation.

Sometimes, yes. It's whenever I question my dependency on other people, as well as anyone's dependency on me. Because it doesn't exist, I don't feel that I serve a purpose in this world.

I've always wanted to fake my death, fly to somewhere like southern asia (bhutan would be great) and start fresh.

No. I don't even want to think about what that would do to my parents, especially my mom.

Do you mean disappear into nothingness or disappear where no one knows you?

This has always been my concern, too, so my answer is:

So I choose to stay and suffer

I just want to live in my own world, I want to leave society...

I don't necessarily want to die. I just society and it's expectations.
