From a Reader

I received the following from one of my readers.

Thank You Dave for sharing parts of your struggle thru your live. I too have had to seek counseling to deal with my depression and for sexual abuse as a child.
When I worked with you, (at the time it was {name withheld for privacy})I don't know if you remembered when I left there but it was due to my depression, and suicidal thoughts. I couldn't drive with taking my medications. As you may know I am now married to Nancy and she has been by my side helping me through with my struggle. I have had thoughts of suicide twice since then and was in the hospital on one of those and came close to following through with it on the other, But Nancy was there and she took the pills out of my mouth before I could wash them down with water. You have gone through so much and are fighting for life, while I on the other hand want to end mine. I have enjoyed reading your page and started on "Mirage in Grey Mirror". Thanks again Dave for sharing it has provided me with better thoughts on things.
{The reader knows who he is}

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your struggle. Dave

In sharing this part of my life, I am not seeking to promote myself as being better than anyone else.  I am simply seeking to use a part of my life to make the point that I am not better than you, I simply exercise my right to not stay stupid.

You have the ability to make the same decision.  You have the ability to decide that you are going to do whatever it takes to learn how to overcome just one more negative self-defeating behavior, and then another one after that.  It’s your life, take charge of it and learn how to live it so that you do not become someone else’s bully or continue to live as if you are their victim.
