I feel like I am dying. Or maybe that is just wishful thinking. But I think soon I will be dead and that will be for the best ... for everyone.
Peace,
Maxime

Dear Maxie
((((Maxie))))
You are loved by many here, your death would not be a good thing for anyone.
What are you doing with your treatment? Have you stopped the Parnate and returned to Prozac?
Love
Ed xxxx

Hello Maxime
We dont know eachother very well, but that dont matter. I still care what happens to you. Please try to be kind to yourself. Nurture yourself. Try to look at yourself as from the outside, like how another would see you. Feel sympathy. How would you comfort this person, what would you suggest for her?
You are allowed to feel sorry for yourself.Do you have some close by family or friends? Someone who loves you and/or who you love? I hope so. Go to them or ask them around. It will help.
Also, ring the samaritans, or whoever is you national support line. You're anonymous and can tell them anything. I've used them myself and very glad I did.
If nothing works then take yourself to hospital and tell them them how you're feeling. Don't hesitate.Please keep talking to us. Take care.
Kev.

Maxime,
Please dont forget the advice i told you about postive thinking.
I am right now really having a hard time, but please dont forget those words.
God i feel broke my heart, but you have to still go on. I feel i had faith and it was shattered. I am really hurt.
Please, but if there is anyone that told you that there is upwards to look to, and i wish there was someone there with you. But pray to god, he loves you.
Matt

Maxime:
My heart goes out to you. I have hit the depths of depression many times, and it was hard for me to see anything clear for the longest time.Please do not give up. Fight the good fight. There are many people on this board who have been worse than you or me or both of us put together and got it back together. You can, too.
For starters, just try to focus on simple blessings each day. Waking up. Seeing the sun. Being able to eat. Hear the birds sing. The joy of watching kids play.
It starts with simple stuff like that, and goes onto re-training your thought patterns. That is ultimately the way to healing. You can do it. If I can, anyone can. We love and we care about you. Your life is precious.
Michael

Any word from you is better than none at all Maxime
Although I'm sorry your feeling so terribleAre there any support groups in your area?
Calling a help line seems like a good idea, at least you've got nothing to lose.
You might not feel so alone with itI don't know I'm struggeling to help
Lastly Phenibut does at least raise my mood at least temporarily, without making me exactly euphoric or "high", and it can be combined with MAOIs, it might be worth a try

It certainly won't be best for me, Maxime. My life is richer for having you in it, which I hope you'll keep in mind the next time you want to say something like this. I realize that what I feel, half a continent away from you, isn't going to be a deciding factor in any decision you make, but I hope that you'll remember that someone out here finds life more satisfying for your presence.Let me know if I can help, 'K?

Well, Maxime, I've been trying to find the right words. Racer put it beautifully. Sometimes we need you to nail it for us.

Maxime, have you started the Prozac? Can you hang on until it's had a chance to work?
Your posts on this board of some of the ones I've always made a point of reading. It would be a terrible loss to Babble and the world if you were no longer here.
I understand not having the will to go on. I do. And if you truly cannot, there is no need to feel guilty or bad. That said, please try to hang on. I will pray for you - I have been praying for you.

> MaximeMaxime,
I've just come back out of "lurking" status and started posting again here. But even while I was lurking, I would check in for posts from you from time to time. The thing is, I don't even know you, but I feel deep empathy for you. Although, I admit that what I have been going through isn't probably a drop in the bucket compared to what you've faced.
Knowing your situation and how you keep on persevering really tells me how strong you have been. Your sheer force of will keeps you "still here", and I believe it continue to do so for some time.
It's hard to keep sight of hope when nothing you've tried seems to work, but I believe that there is hope for you. I don't know what your med situation is right now, but there just have to be more possibilities to explore.
I'm also wondering whether there are support groups or anything along those lines in Montreal that you might be able to attend. Having a positive personal connection could be a bit of a bolster.
In any case, you're in my thoughts,
