I was thinking the same thing about mine... Maybe you should actually talk to a friend at Starbucks. It's cheaper and there's coffee and pastries. :-) Thanks, babe.

It's a constant struggle. I'm glad you addressed it in such clear, objective way. You rock, but you already know I think that you do. My therapist is like talking to a friend at Starbucks, I need a new one, quick. As usual you've hit it square on the head and shattered the rhetoric about suicide. It's a constant struggle.

I'm sorry that the topic disgusts you, but you're right; the general publish should be more aware of these things. I don't think I'm mentally ill though (mostly because the doctors at Bellevue told me that I was not). I'm just an out-of-the-box thinker... which is like a mental illness, but not quite. And thanks so much for the supportive invitation. I do have a therapist whose entire job it is to listen to me talk, but I appreciate your offer. :-) Thanks for sharing, Jessica.

I remember thinking about some of these points - especially the one about being selfish and the whole "temporary fix" thing. There is this whole ripple effect that happens after someone kills themselves. Suicide is such a taboo subject and has so many negative connotations with it. It disgusts me. I wish the general population was more aware and informed on suicide, depression, mental illness, etc. I really appreciate this post. It's nice to see things from someone else's perspective. I personally believe that things happen for a reason and I know I cannot go back in the past and change things. And honestly, I wouldn't. If it was meant to happen, it was going to happen regardless of my efforts. Sorry for the ramble! I am very opinionated and vocal about this subject because it hits so close to home. I hope things begin looking up for you.
