I have more acquaintences in cyberland than "true friendships," but that's true in real life, too. True friends are hard to come by, regardless of where you find them.
It's important to realize that a person who commits, or tries to commit, suicide is not in a rational state of mind.
A person attempts suicide because he or she feels they have exhausted all coping mechanisms. With proper intervention, however, they can learn other ways to cope. It is, therefore, never to dismiss "threats" of suicide as idle ones; sometimes it just takes a person a long time to get up the nerve, so to speak.
For someone to seriously contemplate taking their own life is not just a cry for help, it is absolutely agonizing scream, albeit altogether too often a silent one.
It's hard to admit that you might be contemplating suicide and so that's why a lot of people go ahead and do it...to show others they were serious.
I believe it's important for people to speak openly and frankly about such issues, rather than hiding them in shame.
Oh, sure, lots of times. How I got past it was I went to bed and woke up and realized that a new day had dawned. And, being a Christian, suicide isn't an option. Suicide is murder of a human being and I could never murder a human being, even my own self.
And going through a NDE makes you appreciate life even when it sucks the worst..
That's interesting, isn't it? I always had heard that women lose their libido after menopause..well, I'm not there yet, but I believe, if symptoms are correct, that I'm on my way. But if anything, libido is stronger.
Hell, knowing me, I'd still want to do it if I were in a coma, even.

I think I passed "fine wine" a long time ago. I'm more like bleu cheese...old and moldy...hehehe
