ELA, stay with us, please. We don't want you to leave us. Your small victories feel like ours too.

At work this week, one of my young co-workers lost his best friend to suicide. The guy was only 20 years old & being young, he saw no way out. As one gets older, realisation develops that there's always going to be bad times but there WILL BE many good times too. The young man's father found his son hanging in the garage. The father & mother are wandering around like zombies, my young co-worker is trying to do all he can for the parents but he's devastated too.

Sweetie, you're still young & while your problems *have been* overwhelming (I'm not trying to belittle the magnitude of what's happened to you), most of your life previous to your illness sounds like it was good. Even if the illness takes a couple of years out of your life to properly lick, you'll have decades ahead of you full of joy, friends, love & family. Please give it all a chance.

Maybe with the failed attempt, things will really get rolling to button down what's at the source of all your troubles. Please roll your burden onto others to help carry. I know they want to help.
