I'm not trying to get you to do anything, and I'm sorry for making you upset this is not what I'm trying to say. but you are the one that wanted to end your life as far back as I looked. Just trying to show you that life is good after all the pain. trust me I have been through hell and been where you are at and beleve me more so than you
First: You didn't upset me. I dropped the harsh language to get your attention.
Second: you seem to have discounted what I have said about mental illness. I don't know if you understand what one is or not.
Third: this website has supported me quit a bit throughout the years and I'm looking to turn the page on my life *for* myself as well as my wife and sons.
Forth: it's not a competition. Pain never is. You deal with your pain in your manner, others deal with it in a different manner.
Your pain is no greater than anyone else's no matter what you went through. Some have it even harder, some have it easier.
It's rather arrogant of you to sit there and judge others by how you handled things given the circumstances.
I seek support and to help raise awareness, to give others - as well as myself - a platform to talk about life's struggles in a productive manner as well as perhaps raising awareness that speaking of a mental illness isn't taboo and can be discussed in the same manner as any other illness.
You lost your wife and raised your children by yourself. Good man. Kudos to you. I've lost a wife and a child. I'm still standing, staggered, but standing.
That doesn't make your pain any greater than mine or any less or more than anyone here. It makes you who you are.
Others may not have it that easy when their mind is trying to blow itself away.
