So many beautiful souls here

and it’s so painful to see you in such despair.

That this must be our cross to bear, what brings us together as perfect strangers. The black dog on our shoulder. Wish it could be anything else for all of us.

I spent all night last night reading through posts and comments. When I came in I was crying for myself, hoping not to feel the end of my rope once more. I went to bed crying for others, hoping they can somehow find their way back up their rope, and if not, that they can find in death the peace they so crave and deserve. I am so touched and inspired by the sensitivity and compassion on this board. That in and of itself really helps me face today.

Must get ready for work now. I hope that I am not condescending here; I realize there are many views on suicide and not all of them are negative, which I try to respect. My view on it is personally negative and I try to defeat it, but I understand that that is just my perspective.

I just hope we can all find our way somehow. As sugary as that might be to say. I mean it.
