You are fighting for your life against the beast called depression. Many of us do this on a daily basis, most of us succeed only to fight another day. It isn't easy, it isn't fun...there's no magic pill to make it go away. I want you to know that you aren't alone and it's ok to tell us how you are feeling and to be very tired of feeling this way.

Melody Beattie wrote a book called A Reason to Live after the death of her 12 year old son, not from suicide but this loss caused her such depression that she reached out to other people in a cry for help...she asked, "how would you respond to a friend who was thinking of taking his or her own life."

It's an excellent book with simple suggestions of things we can hold onto while waiting to feel better.

John Bradshaw, author of Homecoming writes, "Suicide is a hasty choice.
Use your imagination, the faculty of your soul, to find another choice.
