I was saved a long time ago - from myself, and everything around me - by a wonderful person. It was totally unexected. I just want to advise EVERYONE out there just to hang in there, because you never know life's ups and downs until they come... There are many downs. But many ups to even it out. Just work towards it, put on your beautiful smile (everyones smiles are gorgeous, let it out) and L I V E S T R O N G ! ! !

t was a call I thought I would never get. On October 6,2003 a little after midnight, my phone rang.I was asleep and my husband answered, I heard him come down the hallway talking. He asked if I was awake I answered yes with my heart in my throat.He said it's Kathy and she's crying. Now Kathy is a strong woman and I knew something awful must have happened for her to be crying. I expected the worst and thought that Tyler our grandson must have been hurt.So I took a long deep breath braced myselk and asked what's wrong? Never in a million years was I ready for her answer,My son is dead on my garage floor.A million things went through my mind. What happened? She answered through sobs that Dan and his soon to be ex-wife had been fighting all day and that Dan felt hopeless so he wrote a note went to the garage an hung himself with an extension cord. It was Lyn, she had done this to her son. My next concern was Tyler, where was he how did he take this? The next few days,months,even years were a blur. This man was Tyler's bowling partner,baseball coach,best friend and he was barely nine years old. Lyn called me the next day and asked what should she do (her and Dan shared an eight month old daughter).Dan had left

Being a teenager myself and knowing some of my friends have taken their lives, i can give you an answer. We do it because of the emotional stress growing up and bullys, tragedies that have happened or because they suffer mental illness like myself.

I am an attorney with my own law firm and I find it really hard to be excited about anything at all or to function or do anything anymore. It has been really bad and hard on my family for the last two years, I have the best husband and children and it is has been hard on him when I go downhill but I have tried medication and it does not work. I am at my end, I feel like I've used up my friends' time and energies and I feel like this is my last resource, I don't know what to do anymore, I just don't think I care, I wish I was normal.

I'm afraid it may be too late to help me. My life has gone downhill. my marriage has fallen apart. I love my wife and she needs to know that. I hate being alone and sometimes I do things that I regret because I need companionship. I just want Alicia to know I love her.
