    Being glad I'm done with meetings for the day, wishing lunch from the cafe was better, and wondering why I got plenty of sleep last night but I'm still so tired at the middle of the day

    I'll let you know how it is.

    Please describe it very slowly, especially describing the flakiness of the biscuit!

    Wondering if life is really important

    Man, what a thing to be thinkin about. I don't know precisely where you are? I just know I've been there (at least, my interpretation of 'there') a lot. Here's what I've come up with--if I misread the room, feel free to woo this post and move on :)

    So is life really important?

    It is, tho sometimes our vision of it gets cloudy. You want advice? Take a walk (outside, if the weather works), or do somethin that'll keep yer hands busy. I suck at woodworking but I've started messin around with it because it helps me hold on til things get better. Helps me to get out of my head.

    I know that advice doesn't always come at a good time. Sometimes you just need that shot in the arm to hang on, so...just know that you're noticed. You'd be missed, even if you can't see it right now. Something something about pebbles and ponds, etc

    That's kinda what I was gettin at--the clouded vision thing. Folks would miss you, probably in ways that you just can't see right now.

    Man, I get it, I really do. What I know about this feeling though, is that it's cyclical. Sometimes it'll try to hang on for a long time, and it's not easy to get that clarity that you need. I know how thoughts that might otherwise be "How could anyone possibly think that?" suddenly start to seem so...real. Like they're good ideas. But here's the thing...its clouded vision, clouded perception.

    I've convinced myself of some stuff that, with a different perspective, I could easily realize is just so, so wrong. But when I'm in that dark place, it's easy to convince myself of all the negatives. Nobody would miss me; they'd all be better off without me, etc.. In the decent times, I can look at those statements and know that they're false, but it's not always those good times.

    Thing is--you don't see it right now. But you'd be missed.

    If you're just struggling with thoughts like that in general? Like I said, I've found stuff that works for me. If you wanna keep thinking, do it while you're taking a long walk--that might help with the clarity. Sleep helps, and I'm naturally a terrible sleeper so I hit the melatonin sometimes.

    If you're thinking of doing something to yourself? Highly recommend talking to someone who might be able to help with clarity (1-800-273-8255)--I'm just a guy who's been there, who knows the struggle, and panics a bit when I see other people who seem to be there because I know how it is.

    It's a dark spot to be, but it'll get better. It always does, even if you don't think it will. Hang in there, bud

    Ah, that's something that would totally surprise you, and you'll never know. I remember when I heard of an internet friend's passing. We chatted a few times a week, but I know that she never knew how much her friendship meant to me. She lived in NZ, me in the USA, and we never met. When I learned of her passing, I honestly cried for days on end, it hurt so very badly to lose this person I respected, and yes, even loved as a good friend. That was 21 years ago, and just writing about it now hurts. You have no idea how many people you have touched in your life that will never forget that touch, and who will treasure it in one way or another for the rest of their lives.

    Life is really tough sometimes. For some people, more than just sometimes. I hope that you feel better soon.
