Love, Depression, and Suicide..

[Nobody Special]

Well first of all I would like to say I'm back!!!!!!!!!!!!

As some of you know, I have been in a situation that had brought me to the brink of killing myself several times over the last 4 months.. I still have some things to work out but that situation is no longer a problem..

I would like to thank every one that has been so supportive: Jade, Nicole, Ravenloft, Jeff, Maddog, and some otheres that I can't think of at the moment and yes Bossie Aussie too, tho I know most of you wont believe it,, but yes she has helped me thru this too..

Well I'm working thru some other issues that have been in my life and concentrating on those.. but that is another story.. I can't believe how much this place has changed in the last few months

yes I'm happy to be back and hope not to be gone so long again,,

[Magic Merlin]

Welcome back, NS. You were missed!

 

[Jade]

Nobody


Just remember that you ARE somebody and I am so very glad that you have come to realize the value of life (especially yours!) and truly hope that what happened to you does not "mar" your trust and faith in future situations.

You are such a sweet and wonderful person with so much vitality and love to give. The woman who discovers you as her soul mate will be very fortunate to have an understanding person such as yourself as a companion.

Thanks for the recognition (even though I am sorry I couldn't help you more...) and you know my "in" box is always open.... Take care of yourself...

Suicide.

A permanent solution to a temporary
problem.

[Gingersnap]

Flamingo that was a too glib response to someone's considerable pain. I know you didn't mean it that way @ least I hope you didn't.

Nobody Special would you please change your name. I always read your posts with great interest and I missed you. I never thought that icon matched your thoughts. What about Guyser.

I am very glad you're back!!!!!!

 

[Jeff726]

Welcome back NS!

You and I both went through the same situation with the same girl, and I want to thank you for being so good about it. There were times I felt the same way you did, and we helped eachother get thru it. You are a great friend Eric, and one day you and I shall hoist a beer at a sleazy night spot someday!

Anyways, welcome back NS, a good man, and a great friend.

welcome back...i guess someone finally let you out of the closet on slut boy's thread.

 

[Nicole]

Welcome Back Nobody Special ... Good to see you.

Just remember if you need me you only have to say ... I know you miss our talks, but you only have to let me know ... okay?

You take care of yourself.

 

[Sammyjo]

I wish I could have been there for you...but I knew nothing about all this. All of a sudden, you disappeared. I am glad that you are back...and that you found the strength to get through it. I have been there.

Don't forget to look me up once in a while...

*hugs*
Sammy

 

[Wizard]

Welcome back NS, I also was unaware of the home situation but am glad to see you made it back with us...

 

[Katerina Val-Kyrie]

Hi Hi Hi...

Hi there Eric, I have to agree with Gingersnap, you really should change your name. Everyone is special, including you. How about Somebody Special? Much nicer ring don't you think?

Hi, I'm Kat...you can call me kitkat if you like, others do. I have not had the pleasure of corresponding with you before, but I do hope to change that. Even though, I have not been posting much lately, I am still here, keeping an eye on things. I am never far away...

I too, was unaware of your pain, and I only hope you feel much better about things now...Good to hear that you are doing ok...

Hugs Katerina/Kat/KitKat

Grrrrrrrrrrr!

Platitudes suck. Take it back, YardBird.

Welcome back, Eric. I suggest you change your name to Strength, or Survival or something along those lines because you were able to get beyond a bad situation. Wishing you lots of continued recovery and peace. Nice to meet you, BTW!

[FlamingoBlue]

Ginger& Payne, I have been there....

And that's how I feel. I carry that "glib" staement with me all the time because it helps me to remember how important living life is to me.

I suffer from chronic depresion. Thankfully, I have found help through introspection, therapy and medication.
(Depression can be a killer if it goes untreated). I appreciate your comment but think that it expresses how I feel, even if you and I happen to disagree.

[Bliss]

Blue,

I can appreciate your feelings and am all too aware that depression is a killer. Like all killers, it leaves victims families in its path. Nuff said.

I don't disagree with you at all, but your statement standing alone doesn't look comforting at all.

Okay, now I have to search for the damned Kleenex.


Payne

 

[FlamingoBlue]

Let me tell you something about platitudes....

I believe they get a bad rap. Although platitudes look superficial,they are actually quite deep. You gotta go beneath the surface and THINK about the underlying theme.

Payne, how about a hug to go with the kleenex? And, by the way, I am NOT a yard bird. That's the PINK flamingo.

[Patryn]

Well anyway, NS, I know how you feel. I went through something similar off and on over the last six months or so. Maybe unlike you though, I always knew deep down that I wouldn't actually commit suicide, though I know I felt like it sometimes. Glad you're doing better....it's good to be over it, isn't it?

 

[Bliss]

Thank you, Blue. I'm sorry, when things hit close to home it's easiest to grouch.

I still like blankies and stuffed animals better than platitudes, but if you tell anybody, I'll send a case of pink dye to your house.

 

[Jade]

Jeff

Jeff,

I just wanted to say that I am glad you two had each other during all of that... it really helps when someone "has your back" like that I know!
I am just sad that either of you sweet guys had to go through that at all.

 

[teresafannin]

hello

Hello and welcome back. I am new here, only been here a week or so. I hope to "meet" some more of the regulars, everyone has been so nice, even though I don't post often due to job constraints. Take care.

 

[*Eve*]

Although I'm not sure what has been going on with you, I am certainly glad to see you back. I hope thins work out for you.

 

[Skitten]

Welcome back NS I too was unaware of your personal life, but I am truly glad that you are back because we all missed you. I am glad that you are working things out, and I know that it takes time to do just that. We are all glad you are doing better so welcome we missed you.

 

[Fallen Angel]

Nobody I am really glad you are back. At the time you left I was glad someone out there had a friend in what seemed a time of need.

I may as well get griped at too

It is better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all

The ability to feel great love also lets you feel great pain. It is a battle many of us must at some point fight, whether we control our emotions or they contol us. You have been to the edge and looked into the dark welcoming abyss but friends and family thankfully convinced you to stay. You may be Nobody Special to you but you are Somebody Special to those who know and care for you.

Welcome back!

 

[Nobody Special]

Well thanks to all here at Lit..

You have been more supportive then my family will ever be. (And some of you know that to be very true) but I have been fighting depression for a long time. it was just the events that have happend the last few months have pushed me closer to the edge that I have ever been. And yes I do think all the same things that every one has suggested and payne's suggestion is a good one too.. very direct but still helpfull and true..

It is good to be back, and reassociating and meeting everyone again Hope fully I will start haangina round again as much as I used to.. I do miss you all, but sometimes It feels like I don't have the time or the effort. but hey life goes on anyway.. dispite what happens but there is only one way to make it better for everyone.. and that is to Grin and share, I mean bare, ummmmmmmmm you know what I mean

E

PS. I really have no intensions of changing my SN. it is who I feel I am even tho I don't always feel that way.. but thank you for the suggestions tho

 

[Nicole]

NS ... Get your Butt back here and start posting. Do you hear me???

I can yell and you know I can.

Now chin up boy, post away and try to be happy, we are all here for you.
