1. You are important to your mother and sisters, especially since your dad is ill. They could never get over the added heartache of losing you. Families always blame themselves. I'm sure you don't want to place that burden on them, on top of taking care of your dad.

2. You are a valuable contributor to PC, and if I'm correct, another site that I go to. Your posts are always articulate, insightful, appropriate and appreciated. You have made an impression on many lives...innumerable replies as well as reads.

3. Think of the impact on your volunteer organization.

4. There is a reason for every person being here, Anne. All our lives are meant to find that purpose...it is a journey.

5. You have a strong support system that have helped you weather many a storm. They will always be there for you. You have the will and insight to ask.

6. You know that this side of BP is the hardest to endure, but goes away gradually. Eventually you will find that "those" thoughts will be pushed to the back of your mind where they belong. ECT is one day away.

7. You've made friends here who understand. When you need us we are here. Please be there for us when it is our turn to be down.
