When you get to the point where you are thinking "well at least it's better than the alternative", that's not a good sign, even if it's true.

some people might want to do the alternative. I have lost friends that way. I hope never to lose any more by their own hand. Its just leaves a gaping hole in your heart the size that a mac truck could drive though.

When I am lying in bed.. I wonder what could happen while I sleep. I try not to think about it and roll over and bury my head in my pillows. I want to live a long life ...and not have to worry about it all the time.

Sounds like a Buddhist concept I have heard before. Yes, this is true. Shosan sa reru kamisama! (Kami sama be praised.)

Sorry, just trying to make myself feel better.

Sometimes my depression creeps up on me. I'm a little better now.

Thanks

make sure yours is worth catching.

after all, life is what you make it. don't like your life: change it. it's not easy, but nothing worthwhile is ever easy to do. You have to be a friend to have a friend. always put other people first. when life gives you lemons, make lemonade.

hang in there.

I don't know what would work for you but working some volunteer activity and political work into my life has helped me ever since: go wash dishes at the soup kitchen; help fight a toxic waste dump in the town down the road; make phone calls for a candidate; write letters to try to free a political prisoner somewhere; teach an illiterate how to read; register voters, whatever ...

No matter how many folk tells theyself contrary, truth is, ain't none of us here permanent no how; we all just passin through and everbody gonna draw that losin card some day or other, like it or not, so ain't really no reason not to keep tryin and to keep on pickin oneself after gettin knocked down: in fact, there ain't no other way down the trail
