First of all, I am so glad you didn't succeed. You are such a force for good! I know how much joy you bring to people, and I thank God you didn't.
Second, I think that's the terrifying thing about depression. We all think the person has it made...until we realize the awful truth. My classmate Damian killed himself a few weeks ago...and we're still in shock. We all thought he was king of the world...and if he had only voiced to us the pain he was feeling, 119 students would have ran to stand with him and tell him we care.
Thank you for this entry. I'm right now going through one of those low times and trying to just get through it, and reading this entry helped. I'm not at the suicidal edge now, I'm at the "why do I get out of bed?" and it makes me feel better to know people I admire had their days in the Dark Forest.
