Hello boogiesmash: Well... the Skeezyks has had a couple of rock bottom experiences I guess. At least I've made two serious attempts to take myself out. Each landed me in a psych ward of two different hospitals. I don't really remember what led up to these events. They were pretty-much spur-of-the-moment decisions fueled more by anger, self-hatred & futility than by depression, I would say...

Beyond that, I just keep putting one foot in front of the other. One thing my father, in particular, taught me was to just keep going through the motions. He would say: "You're not required to like it. You're just required to do it." That is pretty-much how I've lived my life. It mostly hasn't been pretty. But I've managed to keep stumbling along to the point where, now, I'm not really required to do much of anything of any consequence. And I don't...

Thanks for sharing your experience...
