Are you guys listening to this person? He's in serious trouble and people are saying things like "man the fuck up"?? "Stop worrying about other people??" Wouldn't he have done that if he could? Who would choose NOT to do that?? If he killed himself would you say he was "selfish" and "weak"? I don't know if treating the anxiety with drugs will help or not. (Btw, there are non-addictive ways to possibly treat anxiety with drugs; I agree that going on a benzodiazepine could easily lead to addiction; they should only be used short term of for acute things like panic.) **But when someone is saying they want to commit suicide every day, that they just don't have the balls to do it,** it's a serious situation that is unlikely to be changed by "deciding to think differently." And, yes, anxiety drugs have helped some people who stutter. It's not a crazy thing to try when you are this desperate, this low.
