Thanks so much for the reply - I checked a few times today and had resigned myself to perhaps not getting a reply, which is OK, but it's much nicer to get some feedback.
I hear you on the work concentration part - some days I just stare at the screen, but I have, for the most part, been able to compartmentalize things and keep going in my new job. I also over analyze everything and want to solve everything with logic (I'm a software guy).
Thanks for the support and encouragement. The suicide stuff is in the past now (for good I hope) and I feel like I'm on the mend, but it's really slow and painful.
Good luck in your own situation and much appreciation for your note.
