Just a slow trickle
 
Hey All

So, I'm not depressed. Been taking my meds. Sleep is OK, appetite is OK, no thoughts of harming myself..

but...

Recently I have been thinking about when I attempted and cry for about 30 minutes and move on.

Anyone else? 3 years after the fact?

Tears are like waves my friend, they wash over us and help us to heal. Have you read Tear Soup?

It's been 21 yrs since our Michael suicided...and I can still tear up when I think about his huge laugh....they are forever in our hearts.

I'm glad you didn't act on those thoughts. Read Pters words that are stickied to the top of the forum...we learned so much from him. :hug:

More anger than tears
 
When I think of the times I was thinking about snuffing myself it feels like I was a different person and I get angry at myself for being that person. The one I love loved me even as that person, so I try to forgive myself. He is determined that as I change that I make sure I am the same person. We have discussed end of life scenarios and decided to use extraordinary measures to live longer, to be with each other longer. How different and how better this feels.
