I so appreciate you posting this...most of you here know that I suffer from this and have attempted suicide. I don't know how everyone feels but yes you SI feel such a sense if relief that it's going to be alright, that you don't have to suffer anymore, that you won't be a burden to anyone...it's not the answer but it is the answer a lot of people choose. I struggle most days and imagine I will for the rest of my life...I hope that like Erica I can help people understand that it's not the person it's the illness!

Speak kindly, Live simply, Care deeply, Love generously, and BLAH, HA, HA, LOUDLY! every chance you get.
