I came to NT from PC. I have major depression, treatment resistant with suicidal tendancies. I have had 4 failed attempts. I also have CRPS. Lately the depression has been gaining, my meds losing and all of it is draging me under

Hi Pooh, I hear you. And I think that I understand where you are coming from as I also have RSD and severe depression. By joining this group you will find many understanding people who will give you all kinds of support and understanding that people around you may not have. Lisa

Rushing to catch an airplane but wanted to welcome you pooh to our "family" here...we aren't going to let go and watch you get dragged..

I can only offer you my sincerest empathy on living with chronic pain!!! And my plea that you not act on your desire to have the pain end by killing yourself....those left behind would be forever changed by this action.

Please remember that you are not alone...we "get it" here..we do understand the lure of suicide but we know that it isn't the answer.

Pooh, you were among the first to befriend me here on NT, support me through surgeries, share of yourself, give when you were too tired even to strike a computer key. I feel so much sadness for you right now learning of your plight, and feel as well that I want to reach out to touch you somehow even through chat room if that would help. I know I missed the party the other night, my fault. I want to be here for you now, and to show you your meaning to me/us as a tremendous person of strength, value, heart. Do please take good care of yourself in the meantime, knowing I am willing to reach out and talk through this difficulty. I am in the chat room holding space. Yep, there I am.

BIG HUGS for YOU,
Mark56

Pooh, I hope you and Mark connected in the chatroom last night...reaching out for support when you are feeling so desperate is a hopeful sign...surrounding yourself with people who care is the antidote for depression. I know it won't lessen your pain, but you will know that you are not alone with it.

Thank you Alffe- we did not connect either in chat or pm, so I wait holding my breath for Pooh.

Love to Pooh,

Our Michael would be 52 years old today had he not killed himself in Jan. of 1990. I put this here pooh, because his suicide just about destroyed our family...we survived it but have never "gotten over it".

You do not want to leave this aftermath behind for those who love you.

I hope you'll check in here today.
