Oh...and I too definitely do not agree with LFL about flirting up a storm with females around you. In your state of mind right now, that is a HUGE recipe for disaster (no offense LFL).
No offense taken, but you are taking it out of context in that you make it sound like I suggested he go flirt up a storm in his "semi-suicidal" state. That was hardly my advice. If he was not depressed and also confident about the continued work on his M, I would still stand by those statements. But right now he is in dire straits.
I'll ditto that I think checking in with his doctor is good advice.
