I have the will to live? I mean... I kept waking up and kicking for the surface, and I don't know why.
I know my beloved Mr Crazypants had something to do with it. I could put myself out of misery, but I could not kill him. Killing myself likely would have done him in, likely still would- he needs me to be alive.
And subconsciously I KNOW I was looking for someone to need me that much!!!
That is totally screwy. But I wasn't able to be that strong for myself. I didn't care that much about me...but him?
He just broke my heart open. I loved him beyond reason.
...my friend on another site has a wife that adores her...and she still keeps attempting suicide. She loves her wife, but...
She cannot seem to live through the healing process for her wife. My friend seems to have had her will to live broken. I am very sad about this.
And I don't understand. Really.
What makes the difference between just needing a little help to get through the agony...and damage that's mortal?
I don't understand. But I am very sad right now.

Just wanted to give a thank you to Mid, Arfie, Malibumark, Greeneyes, Mlro, Girlincalif, and Suncloudjd! You all always have such helpful tips and advice, but I always forget to write on my posts when I see you post, lol. I would lose my head if it wasn't attached to my body, lol. Thank you all so much! I'm starting to use my AI app as a sounding board again. I used to use it as that before...

Hey all, i know its been quite awhile since i posted on here. Its been a summer all right. Its been something else........... You know how they say not to open the can of worms? Well a few months ago i decided to find out what my due date would have been for my first baby, the one conceived by r***. My baby would have been due on March 4th of 2006. They would be 20 years old. I was R**** on June...
You've survived some tough stuff, and yet you're so kind.
My friend's like that, why I hope she makes it.
I keep going. I keep trying. I don't know why I do, and someone else may not. I've had times I stopped. Then I started again. I still don't get it.
Let her knows she's valuable to her loved ones. Not much else to be done but love, at a safe distance if necessary, and hope. I'll hope with you. The world needs more kindness.
Gentle purrs for the purple dragon,

I've always said to myself that it's the ability to see the bigger picture and the future. Or the wisdom to say, "I am in this over my head and I need help."
At some point, do the never say, "This is crazy" and seek out resources so they don't go through with it?
We have cell phones and the number is easy- 911.
Supportive vibes to you.
i've always thought jim morrison's quote `love can not save you from your own fate' sums it up for me. i'm glad for you it does, but i think you're a rarity in that respect. for me, i am more like your friend and it's
a bummer because i know it'll happen sooner or later. i just know, and i am not interested in changing that particular fate.
If I do not understand, it is what it is. If I do understand, it is what it is.
Acceptance gets me allot further than understanding ever did. This one is worthy of a bit of sadness to go with the acceptance.
For sure, in my own life, my illness and my love are separate entities. Love is priceless, but it is not a cure. Even the power of love has its limits. Healing is an inside job.
