      How about this- an 80 something year old widow said "it" in a way I totally get.

    • Close Families & Friends Affected By Suicide

      Beloved boyfriend became unemployed, was rejected repeatedly for almost 2yrs looking for new job,decided if he couldn't support himself, not be a "burden" on society, that he was better off dead, and shot himself July '07. I loved him. Never a burden to me, but a joy.

      Treatments

      Patience Working / Worked
      Absolutely vital. Don't rush into decisions, or comments when people upset you. Wait, and think, and see. Don't let people pressure you into things you aren't ready for, and don't second-guess your decisions once you make them.
      Prozac Considering
      Decided not to take it. I know I can "reset" the two sides of my brain post-trauma without it, and doctor agrees. But will keep it in mind if things get worse.
      Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful
      Went to psychologist 4 times. Resent the expense, but actually believe it was worth every penny. Neat lady, helpful, soothing, and enormously helpful to be able to tell her what I told her. Try it. Trust me.
      Talking Somewhat Helpful
      Some friends enormously helpful. And I go to my guy's grave and talk to him, it makes me feel better.
      Writing Too Soon to Tell
      Wrote letters to my honey in a notebook because there's so much I wanted to tell him. I've pretty much stopped now, but I still talk to him, out loud.
    • Close Twins, Triplets & More

      I'm thrilled to be an identical twin. Born 2 months preemie. Incubator-kept for first many weeks. Full-grown, finally. ;-) My sister my best friend in the world. All you unies (twinless individuals) have no idea...
