In any case, I am relieved to know there is a place such as this, and I wish I'd known it sooner. It seems obvious now; there are forums for everything, why not this? I'm not sure what to divulge here, it will likely all come out in other threads, at other times... (I am fond of ellipses...) Perhaps some basic information which may or may not interest you, which may or may not be relevant: Susanne 33 New Mexico Miserably separated from soulmate Mother of a remarkable son Occasional artist/poet Trying to finish ironic degree in Psychology Lover of life's many pleasures, yet no lover of life Walking contradiction...

Glad you survived and you will be a great help to many as you indeed know what it is like to feel the suffering of others who you will help. I am glad you discovered this site
Thank you, Alison... It is nice to see that Mods, Admins, and other staff and members take the time to welcome new members. This forum seems well maintained, and that couldn't be more important with a subject as sensitive as suicide. It is truly a pleasure to meet you all.
Thank you, sparkle and Joseph. Ana, I am grateful that we joined around the same time; I feel akin to you.
