No but I know how she’ll be voting from now on.

[Atticus]

This is very sad. The only bright spot is that she did not take the children with her.

[Gay State Conservative]

I’m not certain just how well,or badly,I’d take serious problems with my vision.

[jmacusa]

It’s called depression. It’s an illness. Untreated it kills. It almost killed me.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Suicide hurts everyone that person loved for the rest of their lives.

Yup. I had a cousin commit suicide in 2004. I don't think his mother will ever be right again. She pretty much withdrew from all social contact for about a decade and only now is showing some signs of improvement.

[KC Burke]

In Kansas City, Fox television channel WDAF lost a young jovial vibrant fellow who was their weatherman from depression. He has a wife and young daughter he delighted in and while some knew he had periodic battles with depression, few understood how bad it could play out.

[Secret Agent Man]

No one is happy. Some are more content than others.

[RedMonqey]

Stupid, selfish self centered woman.

Her life was “ruined” but no thoughts for her husband and young children. She put her children

I will never again pity these kind of people. Never more.

“For some reason the holidays causes deep depression because of past failures. Divorce, etc “

Failures or losses. My wife died in September and some days/nights are really difficult the past couple weeks. It gets worse when you lose hope for the future (that you’ll ever find anyone else, etc.) No problems with my 19 year old LASIK, though.

[HiTech RedNeck]

There had to be more bothering her than the Lasik difficulties and it could be a matter of unfortunate timing. How many people successfully weather the trash talk of the devil?

[EdnaMode]

I’m sorry for your loss.

[EdnaMode]

That is incredibly sad.

[HiTech RedNeck]

This kind of talk could be a good way to beckon Satan’s attack onto yourself.

[rbg81]

You had bad results from your Lasik but did you want to kill yourself over it?

---

Of course not. Even if I ended up blind, I would still want to live. What I did (and still do) is kick myself for ever getting the surgery to begin with. Was promised one thing and it was made to sound almost risk free. It was partially my fault because I trusted the Doctor and did not ask enough questions.

I honestly thought about suing the guy later, but could not find a lawyer willing to take the case.

[Vermont Lt]

Amen. The nursing home should control their WIFI better, don’t ya think?

[rockrr]

Suicide hurts everyone that person loved for the rest of their lives.

How true. My sincere condolences.

Tom Waits’ “Emotional Weather Report”

And a weak pressure ridge extending from
My eyes down to my cheeks cause
Since you left me baby
And put the vice grips on my mental health

Well the extended outlook for an
Indefinite period of time until you
Come back to me baby
Is high tonight
Low tomorrow
and precipitation is expected

Also, it was PRK, not LASIK. Different procedures. The Doctor who did the 2nd surgery (which partially cured me) told me that LASIK would have been a better initial choice for me.
