Some days I feel powerful and capable of overcoming any challenge.  Today is not one of those days.  It's days like these that I'm glad that I know better.

Today is one of those days where I wish all of us could get together at a coffee shop someplace and just talk, laugh and enjoy the moment.

That's why my crisis culminated on a Friday back in 2008.  The fact that I knew I'd have to be alone for two straight days was the straw that broke the camel's back.

Morning all. We can have coffee here today.
I'm in a dark place but I can see the light, so i drag myself that way. The latest results from a shoot may have made that light a little brighter smile
i love working with him. It's fun to explore the creepy/dark side and have the results be so cool

A few months ago, I met a guy who looked very handsome - muscular blue eyed blonde - you know the typical next door American jock - at a fund raising party. I was actually intrigued about him but he had an attitude with me so I just figured... screw him. However, when the party was ending, he started being nice to me... and I was like, "It's the alcohol." I left. Hey.. he gave me attitude so he gets my attitude!

Yet, I could sense that something was torturing him. I couldn't figure out what it was.

A week later, I found him through Facebook but I was hesitant to friend him. But I learned that he's a registered nurse in ER.

Two weeks ago, to my surprise he messaged me and said hi. I didn't reply back because I was busy as heck. 

Yesterday, he was no longer a nurse, he became a patient. He committed suicide. He's still breathing but brain dead. His life support will be pulled tomorrow and his organs be donated so it's bittersweet knowing that even though he worked in ER saving lives, he is STILL going to save more lives after his death. 

Naturally, I wish I could have known him more and now that he's gone, I am sad that I have lost a potential good friend. sad

That is a sad story Jeff but I'm grateful you are kind enough to share it with us. It brings up a lot of critical issues many of us face in this thread. Every group therapy experience I've had included at least a few people who were very off-putting at first. Rude and mean by choice they built a wall around themselves. As group went on often they would start participating and we would learn that there was a decent person in there.

Jeff, what you have to do is protect yourself from any thinking that brings you down. This young man must have had severe problems that troubled him greatly. Grieve for him and learn from the experience.

My attempt at suicide should have worked but clearly I'm glad I failed. The sadness it caused people I love breaks my heart. Suicide is a difficult subject to deal with. If you ever want to talk by private message I'm happy to do so. My prayers are with you Jeff, the young man and his loved ones.

Hi Star!

Thank you. I really do miss you and everyone else when I go in. I'm pretty good. It was another staph infection in the burn wounds on my leg. One of the doctors was really rude and abusive and that caused me to have a PTSD moment and flashback to the explosion in 1972. It was so painful and uncalled for that I have reported the incident to the state board that oversee's physician credentials. I'm also giving thought of taking legal action but I suspect I won't. I need to live with a forgiving attitude.

Well there ya go, TMI. I miss talking with you Star, and everyone else. Thanks for letting me blabber on.

I love you all!

Tim

Hello my favorite people in the world. Today I want to share a link with you to a website that is filled with helpful information for those who have, or want to learn more about a wide range of emotional issues. The site is called Psych Central.

http://psychcentral.com/

The writers are also dealing with the issue they write about. One of my favorite writers is Christine Stapleton. Her blogs are funny and fact filled. She has a story up about depression and the holidays. I'm going to post it but please take some time if you like to search the site for the areas that are of interest to you.

http://blogs.psychcentral.com/depressio … -go-again/

Holidays are hard for some of us. If anyone needs a friend to unload on I'm always a PM away.

Much love to you all

Tim
