I had my big breakdown in November but I'm fine now. This is no reflection on anyone, nor an attempt to trivialise what a lot of you seem to be going through, but suicide seems to be a recurring theme here. I know there are plenty of reasons people would feel like ending it, but I haven't seen so many people in so relatively small a group feel this way. I only ever felt suicidal once, and the only reason I could come up with for not ending it all was that I wasn't insured at the time, and Karen would get nothing. At the time, she was relatively able to take care of herself so I didn't have the additional guilt trip of leaving her on her own.
But that is literally the only time I've seriously felt that way, and I hope never to again. I sincerely hope anyone (Blank, Steph) who is feeling like this, or has felt like this, gets or got over it, found a way through and found something to live for. I honestly don't know what to say that wouldn't sound completely trite, so I'll say something completely trite: whoever you are, if you're here, you matter and we would miss you, so please don't do it.
