Open Note to My Best Friend in the world

You are the most lovable, capable friend, that anyone could ever have.

You would put anyone in Otherland to shame. You've always given it to me straight when no one else had the fucking balls to do it. For that I thank you. But I have to disabuse one of your notions on life. Because when it comes down to it, there are some that aren't worth saving and there are some that no one in the world can save. That would be me. I love you to death for all of your efforts. But not even the most optimistsic folks could save me now. You just have to understand, my true friend, that some people just can't be saved, no matter what you do. It is not a reflection on you at all. Some people just can't be saved.

I know that note was not to me or it would have said 'best friend in all the universes(universi?).....

sorry me being modest yet again obviously......Anywhooo I am going to respond anyways. I would totally and completely have to disagree. Anyone is worth saving. I don't know you all that well(save for the bloglife not at all) but YOU certainly are. When in doubt about that go back and read your own post of another time you were feeling the same way. Remember how bleak things seemed at that time and seemed would never ever get better. Remember how they DID end up turning around for you. Even if that turn around wasn't apparently permanent it was a start. Think of all you would have missed had you given in to those thoughts then. And all you could be missing if you give in to them now. Hang in there my friend. I will use your own words and tell you to "Dream true". To them I would only add, have the courage, conviction and stubborness to continue to chase those dreams. In the words of Jim Valvano, "don't give up, don't EVER give up." If only for no other reason than keeping those that are trying to MAKE you give up from winning.Okay as usual this turned into a long one, but you have my email and yahoo id if you need someone to yell at.

That's your opinion.

The 'chick thinks otherwise.

Think you're stubborn?

You ain't seen nothin' yet.

In a word... Bullshit!

As someone who has battled depression/bipolar/suicide (attempts) for over 20 years I can tell you first hand there is ALWAYS hope... ALWAYS help... out there. There is no shame in seeking professional help. It just might damn well save you life!

But I understand your current mindset all too well and that is what frightens the hell out of me. Get help! Be your own savior!

Thank you all. No need for the Blogosphere Suicide Watch, though. Nothing is going to be that bad. Been There, Done That, Got the Shots Afterwards. Even in the depths of that, though I may wish like hell that I was dead, I'll never pull the trigger, or in my case, the razor, again. No matter how f-ing miserable or screwed up I am.
