I heard yesterday that a former classmate of mine had passed on. I sat with him at my HS reunion in September. I felt compelled to go and pay my respects.

Thank you for your post. I know of three suicides in my own family - my nephew, my cousin and I found out that my great grandfather also committed suicide. Depression runs in my family. I don't know what to think either. I just want to do everything I can not to end up that way.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
