Who misconstrued your post? I reviewed this thread and in your post I see questions, to which I directly responded, citing my own experience and nothing related to constructs introduced in your post.If you would like your prose to be recognized as a statement rather than as a question, I recommend punctuating sentences, especially those that summarize a paragraph, with periods instead of with question marks. I tend to use standard english expressions when parsing written words.
Who says I am preaching to anybody? This is a place where a phsycian has invited comments about conditions sometimes considered pathological and I took the bait.
You wrote "But if I really believe I want to go as badly as you seem to want to, I don't know why I'd bother to stick around to debate the issue."
Well, neither do I, but then I have never tried to write anything about how you deal with thoughts of death. In this forum, I've written only about my own condition, for which your experience might not be instructive.
Apparently, I am not part of whatever choir you perceive, and I don't sing from any of the same pages as you. Maybe somebody already has an exclusive franchise on suffering and my revelations of my unique condition is an inappropriate intrusion on somebody else's purview. But my perception is that my perspective is mine alone and my perceptions of my condition don't require that my explanations be any more consistent than the condition itself.
