I was hoping you would see the absurdity in my statement, and then possibly see the absurdity in yours.

I have had close family members and friends suicide. I used to think exactly like you regarding the selfishness of it. Seeing the aftermath of what it does with those left to cope and grieve would be enough for any one in their right mind to be deterred from suicide themselves.

Then when depression and anxiety crept in on me, I could start to understand how, slowly, what starts out as (fantasizing?) gets darker and darker. Luckily I had influences strong enough to give me a slap in the right direction. It is always something I have to be aware of though.

So I do get your anger, I really do. The sympathy for someone dealing with such powerful demons is something I had to learn the hard way.

Anyway, hope to see you back soon, and I hope there are no hard feelings.
