Jordon, I know a lot of people are jumping on you in this thread for what you said but I, for one, understand your opinion and accept that's the way you feel... you have every right to it. I am glad you found your way out of depression. Reading this thread has made me understand you better.

You can add me to the long list of people who have been there. My problems weren't that big, looking back, but at the time they seemed huge and ugly and, honestly, I couldn't deal. I've gone up and down, back and forth, for years... I've found that living my life can make me very very happy and at other times I find myself scraping the bottom of the barrel to see if I can go down any further. I think a lot of people are like this and it can be hard to keep yourself on an even keel.

I think the worst part for me is that I understand what it takes for me to feel perfectly content with life... I have a horrible time translating that into mustering up the courage and convincing myself to go out and do it.

When I contemplated suicide I was very young and my friends helped me. People find strength from everywhere... and unfortunately some find it from nowhere.

Scrambler: I can't even imagine what you experienced. I hope you are okay, and even if you think you might not be... talk to someone about it. Professional or good friend.

I hope the jumper found the peace he was looking for.
