Hey /adv/, a while back I made a suicide pact that essentially said I wouldn't do the deed until my life was good in most aspects. For a long time this prevented me from doing anything too bad but also made me lose motivation to progress to better things. But then I started dating my friend and things have generally improved and the only thing I'd say was left is to get in shape but I'm reluctant because I'm worried that I might try something if I get in shape. But simultaneously I think my relationship partially relies on me getting in shape as my boyfriend prefers skinnier toned girls sexually but says the rest of me is 10/10.
Should I try to get in shape and keep the pact a secret to him or explain my reluctance?

I'm sorry, I'm not trying to mock you but it's usually when they can't provide themselves happiness that people tend to kill themselves. What's the logic behind killing yourself once you've done your best to improve your life ?
Why would follow an old pact that you probably don't believe in ?
What's so bad that you have to kill yourself for ?

Who is this pact with? Why did you make it?
At the time my psychologist refused to give me medication because of unpredictable panic attacks that quickly led to self harm. My therapist and friends kept encouraging me to wait for things to get better etc. And I figured if I still wanted to die once things had gotten better in the stereotypical perspective then I'd go for it but I should respect my friends enough to try and let it get better. I guess I still follow the pact to an extent because I want an excuse to kill myself when the only logical reason I must feel this way is a chemical imbalance and years of stress.

You're quite pragmatic, you describe your condition as chemical imbalance and years of stress, don't you think there is something deeper than that ? Something that keeps you from feeling good. What I mean is : Do you believe you're drawn to sadness ?
You're dating your friend, how's that going ?

I may be drawn to sadness slightly but I believe logically the majority of my sadness is sourced from stress. Dating my friend is going well, the only small issue we have is both of us getting in shape but otherwise we're like two peas in a pod.
