TJ,

You didn't come across as not understanding in any way, shape or form. I just wanted you and anyone reading this to realize that my decision to restart Parnate wasn't taken lightly. I still don't feel completely well, but I definitely feel better, and that's really all I can reasonably hope for at this point.

I have been haunted by thoughts of suicide since I was 12. My first attempt was at age 14 and I never told my parents or anyone else. I told my mother I probably had the stomach flu when I looked and felt like death warmed over.

I know that most people on this site have seriously considered, attempted and nearly succeeded at ending their lives. It breaks my heart to realize that some people don't have the benefit of a support system to give them a better chance at surviving and hopefully feeling better.

I've found wonderful support here and I want you to know how very grateful I am.

Hugs,

rliz
