Where are you – Monica, Alluvion, JennyA & Jentttar?

Hello, Alluvion, try to feel our arms around you.

Yes, yes, yes, Scotty, beam us all up to somewhere that we can be together and leave the rest of the crappy world behind. We would build a community the way it should be, not the lousy way we’re forced to “keep acting happy” for.

About getting together; fantastic idea. One problem would be that wherever we went, the property would belong to someone who wouldn’t allow us to meet there if they found out why. Don’t want outside family members calling Jeff Fieger for a class action lawsuit if anyone died during or after.

Also, probably impractical for many of us due to financial and other circumstances, but WE are people who should be in each other’s lives, because we truly WANT to understand one another. Not like a shrink or counselor who’s only answer to everything is “and how does that make you feel?” I can’t believe they get paid for that crap. My cat’s a better shrink than any person I’ve ever talked to. He actually does listen and I KNOW he loves me. He can tell when I’m down and tries his best to comfort me. He’s the little boy I talk about and I can not bear the thought of abandoning him.

There are support groups of many kinds all over the place now, though I’ve never heard of one targeted to folks who are considering suicide. I think what’s in place now are groups for “depression”. Our contributors are facing much more serious issues than “my prozac just isn’t working like it used to; and where did you find those shoes?”.
