Thank you for posting that. I read it, then went back and read it again. Just now I read it a third time. I am unsure if you are leaving the world or just leaving SP for a while. If you are leaving the world I bid you a gentle transition. If you are leaving SP for a break I will look forward to you posting in the future.
I don’t have the history of attempts that you do, but the same lifetime of suffering. I don’t believe there’s any reason for someone to go through it – like you said, how could anyone think a child or infant deserves that kind of pain. It doesn’t serve any purpose.
Some people recover after years or decades of depression. Their stories are the only thing that gives me hope that the pain might not be lifelong. Right now I don’t feel like I have any hope at all – all I can see is the pain getting worse – but I know there’s still some there. I wish I could give you some of that hope, or know how to find an antidote to all the suffering.

Potter: Ooh! It damn well ‘urts!
Lawrence: Certainly it hurts.
Potter: What’s the trick then?
Lawrence: The trick is not minding that it hurts.
Processing your request, Please wait....

Don’t worry about me guys. I’m going on leave. I’m fine.
Best wishes.
Hope you will triumph over your demons. 🙂 🙂 🙂

Either way be gentle on yourself.

I will worry. What do you mean, going on leave?

I’m fine. Just taking leave from sp.
“Going on leave” sounds official. Are you active duty?
