This was a bad week. My depression plummeted downward, and I began to think about killing myself, but did not make any concrete plans to do so. The support I received from my friends at Daily Strength made me realize that I was about to make an irreversible mistake.

That\'s exactly what I do when the suicide thoughts start creeping in. I figure I\'m almost half way through life. I can stick it out. You are further ahead than me in life. Congrats!
I had a good, good friend commit suicide. Although I understand the depths of his pain and I am glad he is at peace, I miss him greatly. I didn\'t realize how much I would miss him. I would miss you like that, Jim. I don\'t wanna miss you so I\'m glad to read you are hanging in there. I mean the thoughts don\'t last all the time, right? They might come in at night, or after a new awesome burden to carry like freaking scoliosis, but they go away.
Sam, these thoughts come to me when I am way down, feel worthless, and think that my life is hopeless. I felt this when I learned about the severity of my scoliosis. It seems like another needless burden when I am dealing so many other things right now.
