“A semi-colon is used when an author could have chosen to end their sentence but, chose not to.”
In real-life situations, you are the author and the sentence is your life. You decide to use a semi-colon instead of a full stop and from that point, you are a survivor.
We all often face a situation where we are incredibly oblivious, and cannot find a quick fix and till then our mental space gets so disrupted that rather than continuing and finding a solution we want to settle it out by placing a full stop. Although there are some people who can control the urge of giving up everything and fight the negative impulse and rather than ending the sentence with a full stop they use a semi-colon and wait for the better phase to kick in.
A semi-colon (;) is a symbol for survivors of depression, self-injury, anxiety, and suicide attempts.
A few situations are tenacious and keeping calm is not under our control but we can try. It is just a phase of extreme negativity and it will get replaced by a moderate feeling soon. Our brain has a constant shuffle of toxins and the toxin leading to extreme negativity will get replaced by some other feeling, even though it is short-lived we can ask for help in the moderate phase. Taking maximal decisions when we are at our lowest can lead to nothing good for you or the people who care about you and thus keeping calm or just letting the negative phase go is a wiser option.
