Tried to kill myself but failed

done.

People who feel suicidal often do irrational things like that.

Dating as a cure for depression is a very bad idea, because one has to want to improve himself if he is to improve. External factors will never change any of that, the decision has to come from within.

But I can't help but to empathize with him. I was there many times myself. Hell, I'm just a few steps away from there tonight.

He reached out, and I do not see it as a cry for attention. I see it as a cry for help. There is a difference. Irrational? Perhaps it is. But people who feel that deep and that desperate should never be dismissed. A truly suicidal person should be directed to proper help, I will agree, Internet forums can only do so much for a man in that state.

He and I need the same thing - a solid purpose and meaning to our lives. And it is out there for both of us.

Why am I posting this response to you? I don't know. I just felt like I could not sit by silently in this case, perhaps.

Since I've got thick enough skin not to really care anymore what people think of me or even about being outed as HFA I should ask that you speak for yourselves, and for Kyle to accept a reasonable compromise of mandatorily finding more than one reason for life. No matter how alienated I get I can ALWAYS build something.

Thanks.

Thanks for handling that, Kip: it was bedtime in my part of the world so I was offline.

Thank you all for your support, but I'll stop visiting WP because it distracts me from studying.

You can still visit WP, but keep it to certain times so it doesn't distract you. Don't stop visiting altogether if possible!

We know it's difficult to find a balance, and all have to make an effort to fit everything in!

I'm similar really in a sense that I don't post because I'm tired when I get home from work.

But you can still come here when you get a break.
