This may be a weird thing to post about, but I realized this weekend that for the first time in years I'm not suicidal. Can't even contemplate it - my mind just won't go there. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy about it, it just feels really weird, particularly since late Oct. / early Nov. is traditionally a really bad time for me, plus I'm unemployed so I'm massively stressed. But instead there's this little tiny part of me, that's feeling strangely optomistic.

Congratulations. I can't really add anything else, but I thought I'd at least say congrats. Thats a great thing to be able to say.
