Scott,
Hey. Life is precious. If you're not wasting away from a horrible painful (physically painful) disease like cancer, there is always the chance that life will get better. In fact, there is always the CERTAINTY that life will get better. Statistics...our good friends!The only time I think suicide is the "right" answer is if a person is gripped with awful, mind-piercing physical pain that really will never improve. When I think about THAT possibility, I feel GLAD that I have the 'insignificant' problems that I do.
I'm not saying that your problems are insignificant. They are not. But life is cool! I love it! Don't you love it?
You're not a monster on the screen. You're our tragic hero, and I'm rooting for a happy ending for both you and B2.
There's no foot in your mouth (or if there is, join the club...I think I and many people here taste our soles on a regular basis! Yummy. Possibly I'm doing it now...I do it so often it's actually hard to tell anymore!)
Is it possible that you DO want Dr. Bob to make a call? Or for someone to make a call? Or for your self to make a call or some kind?
There's nothing I can do over email except say that I believe your life is worthwhile and I hope you keep it. And that I hope you keep coming to Babble.
The turmoil and misunderstanding here on Babble are kind of fun in a way, aren't they? I don't mean "fun" that people feel hurt or misunderstood...but "fun" in the sense that we get to learn more about how we operate and how others operate, and that after the turmoil, there is usually a deeper understanding of each other.
I hope you're well. Don't leave Babble! We're tough. We can take a little upheaval. I hope you can too.
Take care.
