Dear Fluffy and Beth, Thanks, Fluffy for relating to my issues, saying you have some of the same ones. You are right, that writing can reach a lot of people and can be done at any age. This response means a LOT to me. I guess I feel like my writing is not that important, because it's so easy for me to write -- it's always come naturally to me. But I feel a VAST sense of relief that you have validated the fact that one's writing can be done at any age, and can reach a lot of people. Thank you so much! So much!

Beth, I am extremely sorry to hear that you struggle so hard with what the doctors call suicidal ideation. Can you find a psychiatrist who can prescribe a medication/s that combats that? I used to have those thoughts a lot. In fact, most of my life until I finally started getting decent treatment when I was 54 years old. I have not had suicidal ideation for years and years. Medications can work wonders , and if you can get something, then you could find something fun to actually do. What do you think?
