Be honest. If it was one of these friends of yours, and YOU hadn't heard from them in this same length of time, would YOU contact them and see what was up? Or would you wait for them to contact you??
As far as the letter goes, do you want to SHAME them into contacting you? Why not just write them and ask them where the heck they've been?? You might just mention that you haven't been feeling well, and let it go at that. If they want to know what the matter is, you can tell them -- but I don't think I'd want to shame my friends into contacting me, cause then I'd figure they didn't REALLY want to contact me in the first place, but they felt like they HAD to. Just my opinion tho.
Believe me, I know all about depression -- I've been depressed since I was a child, and have been on medications for years. Thank God the meds are helping. God bless you and please take care. Hugs, Lee

The thing is, I hear from them just about everyday. I live with one of them, and the other has been trying to get a hold of me for several weeks. It was more an explanation of what was going on. I don't think it will shame them into anything. We're already too close for that. We talk about just about everything... only... knowing I am suicidal isn't something I think they would be able to handle properly.
