There have been times in my life that I seriously wished for death,...if only to escape the unbearable pain caused by the events occurring in my life at that time.
Somehow, I managed the strength to keep going. And now I am very glad that I did. With the passage of time, things in my life changed...my relationships changed, circumstances changed, people changed, I changed - everything changed.
That's the one thing you can always be sure of - things WILL change. It is the nature of the universe. It is guaranteed.
As the planet revolves and time passes, everything you see, feel, touch, taste, and hear will change in some way. Now only lasts an instant - this sentence you are reading is in the past before you have finished reading it.
What you are experiencing will not - can not - last forever. Just keep on holding on. If for no other reason - continue to live so that you can witness those changes.
In spite of what you may tell yourself and others - you do NOT know what the future holds. You know this is true deep down - you can't be sure that tomorrow will be worse - there is a chance that when things change, they'll change for the better. If not tomorrow, then next week, next year...in 5 years...who knows? Out of a lifespan , a few years are nothing looking back. Might they not be worth the wait?
Aren't you even the least bit curious to see whether something miraculous and beautiful will unfold?
You'll never know unless you stick around.
