Bad feelings Quote by Matt Frisch
“The worst feeling in the world hands down is hopelessness, although it is not the only bad feeling. Other bad feelings include death of a loved one, breakups, social anxiety, etc. but the dfference with hopelessness is that hopelessness isn't just a phase or a feeling that happens in an instant, its something that is acquired over a time period of many many many unfair and/or bad life experiences. Suicide would not exist if it wasn't for hopelessness.”
