Damn!!!
I just lost my post GP!!
I was trying to grab some Johnny Cash lyrics to, well, maybe cheer you a little - but who knows - maybe you don't like Johnny Cash.
You should do!
After all he was 'The Man in Black' - he carried off the darkness - made people happy although he was pretty much well and truly on a downward spiral until he met his lovely wife June Carter the C&W singer. His second wife - first one hated his guitar! Said he would never make money. lol - but Johnny Cash did not care about money - he was on a mission to make people happy, raise spirits a little and carry the darkness for others.
Other people DO carry it for us. We share it - or they share it and we feel better if anyone admits openly and without shame that they struggle with depression. Nothing to be ashamed of!
I'm just SO glad your time was not up.
We'd all feel pretty bad if you went. I mean your family would be the worse - but in some ways we share more with each other here than families.
No WAY would I sit down with my mother and father and chat about suicide - or wanting to kill someone! Anger issues - blah blah - I bring that here and to my cool sponsor who can deal with things.
You got a sponsor GP?
You know that system has to be bought into what we have. Works for AA and NA - you know - you go on a coke binge and phone up the sponsor afterwards - or before! Yes - before is better! Well - suicide thoughts are worse than a coke binge. A sponsor can help there.
I'd sooner be a drug addict than depressed. Its easy to stop feeling bad on drugs - you just stop using them! I envy the heroin addicts I meet everyday.
Anyhow - get a sponsor other than your own head!!
Plenty of nice people here for that.
NO man or woman is an island - though I understand if you need time alone to get thoughts clear.
You have the choice of actually helping yourself GP - some here do not - and live in conditions which make me feel very sad indeed. We are fortunate in many ways - to waste that advantage would make those less fortunate feel more hopeless. It really would.
So - you got to hang on really - you cannot exit this life yet - you got Karma left to pay - so have I - but I got more than you for sure. Like Buddha is onto me as well as JC and all the rest of the Catholic 'stuff' that spins around my head.
So - best wishes and all the luck in the world
And a prayer also - does no harm - I'm not selling God to anyone - you got to buy it yourself.
Send me a £100 cheque - I'll send some 'holy' grain of sand which Jesus walked on. Got like - a million grains - so could be rich if this catches on.
Apologies if your not in the mood for humour.
Regards!
I do hope you read these long posts - if its too much - say and I'll adapt to what is best - one sentence, two - or 200000000 its all the same for me.
