I am sorry you have had these experiences.

As I talk with more and more people, it seems many of us somehow keep the self-harm or the suicide option on our minds to varying degrees.

I am not sure of why this is the case. I have been given a few explanations,; yet those don't really ring true for me. Maybe it is completely different for everyone?

Do you know which types of things make you think/feel you should try again?

Don't feel you have to respond. I am very interested. I admire you and the messages you offer to the community via your signature line. I would not have guessed you feel this way about suicide, but I guess we never now about anyone, do we? I do NOT mean this in any judgmental manner.

We can offer a great deal to our communities and still feel desperate in our private lives. For sure.

I appreciate your sharing!
