I wish I could just acccept my circumstance as my destiny and be content with just living until I die, enjoying the things around me. But I don't. I just don't have the patience anymore. So if I'm living a life that I do not enjoy...why live it at all? I know most people won't "get" this way of thinking, but if I'm so unhappy and just want to be free of this human existance why shouldn't I be able to just go. There are tons of people out there who could benefit from my freedom from this wretched shell. Its my intention to donate all of my organs, tissue, blood, etc., which is a good thing right? Is it so crazy to think this way? If we hate our jobs we eventually quit them right? Why can't I just quit this? Yes I know friends and collegues, etc. would be affected by my death, but they would surely move on. You know the expression "you have to take care of #1 (meaning yourself)", Well the nicest thing I could do for myself is to leave this world. Is that so crazy? I really just want to know if anyone understands me.

And here I thought no one went through what I went through. I have been through the same thing; same thoughts, same situation, and same feelings. It got so bad that I actually tried to take my life. The first time I tried, I didn't learn but when I ended up in the e.r. for the second time, it changed everything. I used to be a real rude; unkind person but that experience changed me. Right now, you feel that you will always be this way because the pain is so unbearable but I promise you that you won't stay this way. We are all here for a reason but, for some of us, to find our purpose in life is extremely hard because of the circumstances. But I promise you that you will find peace without dying. Yes, I am still very depressed but I am a changed person and I am changed in a way that I could make an impact on someone's life if I had the chance. You are not crazy at all. That doesn't make you a bad person and that doens't mean you don't have a right to live. Life probably seems so meanigless right now because of all the pain you are going through. But, from life experience, I can almost guarantee you that your life will start to change for the better. Never give up hope and never loose sight of your light. Death isn't going to make it any easier either. Your problems just won't go away if you die because you won't be able to rest in peace because you'll truly see how much you've hurt the ones that care about you and love you.

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
