didn't do it for the praise guys.

thanks though.

did it because we should all of us try our best to help someone who says they are thinking of eating a gun...or 20 times as many sleeping pills...even if deep down we think it may be a cry of attention.

If your best is be quiet because you aren't sure if you're going to hurt or help...well, unless you're egging them on and helping them load the gun even a little note can help.

Do not be afraid to show some solidarity across the boards. : )

I hope Par takes comfort in your wise words, and keeps taking one more step.

didn't say it to praise you; some things are too fabulous to ignore.

Alas, no magic crystal balls to be had. But ... if you can get them to at least understand what they are feeling is a catalyst for REAL change, and if you can get them to remember when not know what the future holds was actually exciting....

I can't count the times I've thought that, working for doctors, I could get hold of enough medicine to just 'go to sleep', but I wouldn't give the SOB the satisfaction. I know revenge is not our motive here, but truly, living well is the best.

Par4, you are probably hitting your 'rock bottom' and the only thing to do now is look up. If this situation you find your self in is not the ENTIRE reason you are considering this, then you need to reach out for help, which you have done here, in a sense. Reach out a bit farther, and if the help is not what you are seeking, find another helper.
