May I join in? Not wanting to hi-jack/deflect attention from the person intended for this post nor am I a newbie trying to be "chummie" with any of you, but I thought I'd also try to join in looking after Raggie. You can check out my profile but FYI and to be less of a stranger, I'm Filipino(foreigner to you Stateside guys), 29 and single.
My reasons? A degree in Psych and more importantly, someone who's always had to battle with depression (sometimes suicidal thoughts) for most of his life.
Raggie, we don't know each other from Adam and I don't dare presume the burden of what you're going through right now BUT that deep, dark empty feeling is all too familiar with me. All I can say to you is I'M STILL HERE and hope that YOU'RE ALSO STILL THERE.
If this would, even in the smallest possible way, instill a tiny bit of hope, one more heartbeat or even a chuckle, maybe it would make MY living longer worth it. Like I said in my reply to your last post on taking one's life, we can only make our life more meaningful here if we live for others. Peace to you bro!
