I was reading the posts of the last few days, taking notes for a massive reply initiative to many, when I came to this. My first thought was: Are meds currently involved? If so, which? Followed by knowledge of episodic history of juvenile, adolescent and recent manifestations. BC, I noticed earlier that you said that you were a "long way from home," and was going to reply... Yep, there it is in my notes, post #12563. Many here are a long way from "home." We've been all around. Perhaps we were once in the same town at the same time and didn't even know it! I'm swapping coins with a fella in California and come to find out he's got a niece livin' in my current home of Gainesville, GA. And, Friend, My "home" is wherever I am, as long as I'm with Friends. Therefore, I have many homes. Tnet is one of my homes. Because you are my Friend as well as many others here. I can identify with your thoughts; Many of my maternal side have attempted/committed suicide. Including me. More than once. Some would ask, "Why?" My reply was, "Why not?" The word "tomorrow" holds so much promise to those who will seek to achieve goals. The same word holds dread and loathing to those who feel "no gain, only more pain." A persons' environment also plays into their state of mind. Do you live in your car? Do you live under the bridge because you have no car? I know of both of these situations. And maybe one of the most important aspects of a persons' "well-being" is diet. Lord knows that I've had my share of popcorn and ramen for dinner, and, have even "dumpster-dived" behind a restaurant for the night's dinner. I could go on, trying to relate and offer "internet advice," But I'll not. If you wish to communicate further, in confidence, please PM me. Here, Always for my Friends, Scott
