Ian, you couldn't be more wrong...I was in chat last night with you, and we did talk to you...we also talked about other people's problems. All that means is that we care about everyone...it is no way means that we don't care about you. When you left, we all wondered how you could think that we didn't care, because it is totally not true.

Now, I'm gonna give you the other side (maybe it's gonna feel like the back of my hand, and for that I apologize). Look around this place, and realize that there are a lot of people in a lot of pain. Your problems and your pain are not the only ones. So, sometimes other people need some attention, too. Instead of saying we don't care about you, perhaps you should try seeing that we care about everyone, including you, and help support the others in the same way that we try to support you.

Whether you want to believe it or not, you have something to contribute here. You are not worthless or pointless. And you have something that many of us here can never get back...you have youth. I know it is hard, and I know you feel like you have given everything a chance, and there is nothing left to try, but I'm telling you, you haven't been alive long enough to give everything a chance. And to give up on a life you haven't even lived yet is flat out wrong. So don't do it. Keep looking. And don't push away those who want to help you because they are only humans, too, and have problems and issues of their own.

Ok, now I will get down off my soapbox and remind you that I care a lot about you, as I know others here do as well. And we will be here to help you through this.

*hugs*
