>This is so very sad.I to have "thought" all my probs were not worth living to deal with,Thanks God I have always changed my mind.I guess that is God's way of saying "I am worthy to live"
We all have so much in life to deal with and we have to do what we have to,to get through the day,even though it is not always easy.I would hate to lose someone from this board,we are all here to help each other =o)
I am sorry for that girl and her family,my prayers are with them,and all of you to!!
*May She Rest In Peace*A girl participant at another depression forum just committed suicide. I was stunned. It's hard to read someone's post, and then a few days later realize that person is dead. I was just a forum spectator, not a poster, but it still took me by surprise. Rude awakening. It made me realize that even though many of us are far from being as well as we would like to be, and we deal with all sorts of difficult side effects, we aren't usually in as much pain as that girl was. I've been terrifyingly close to being that ill at times, and I'm sure many of you have too, but I feel fortunate to have never crossed that line. Once again, if friends and family could have understood the nature of the beast a little better, maybe things would be different. May she rest in peace.
