Beetle: Reading your post, the one thing that strikes me close to home for me...you mentioned alcohol abuse. I can remember driving around late at night trying to decide if I would check myself into the hospital, or go home and kill myself. Fortunately, I would usually just get tired of it all and go to sleep (and try it all again tomorrow). From my experience, drinking really made my depression (and other conditions) worse, and then the rest of my life just kind of went down with me. Don't know if that's what you're dealing with (for me it's never just one battle). But you mentioned it...
I can't tell you what to do; I'm not you. But I know that it's hard, living with a mental condition as well as drinking. Quitting drinking scared the bazookas out of me...but I never really wanted to die; I was just so tired of living. Getting my drinking out of the way has given me a better chance to get my "sanity" under control.
Again, I can't tell you anything. You know yourself better than anyone else. But you might think about it sometime. It isn't as impossible as it sometimes feels, and you wouldn't be the only one who knows that sort of pain.
Just hate to hear anyone hurting. Thanks for letting me ramble...
