Well, I beg to differ. I despise the term ‘permanent solution to a temporary problem’. Is it really temporary if it lasts 30 years? Been dealing with mental illness my whole life. Came DAMN close to suicide last April. Threw away a bunch of important items. But the Marine in me said Stay in the Fight. So here I still am.

“Marine in me said Stay in the Fight”

Good for you. I thought about this some more before going to bed last night, and realized that of course not all problems are temporary. I have thought that I hope if I get Alzheimers that I figure it out soon enough so I could kill myself before I put my family through that misery. But... I suppose I would only be exchanging one misery for the other for them?

As much as folks like to joke about this suicide - it is a serious problem for some of us. And most of us I suppose at one time or another. My thoughts are with you.

Just a little reminder.....Jesus loves ya; has some broad shoulders, too. No need to carry all that baggage alone. God bless.
