Not making light of it at all - many of us are in the same boat. Isnt it depressing when you try and kill yourself and cant even get that right. I know I have dark pit times, they are always at my shoulder. Watching South Park one night with my lad, they did the 'aunt Flo' episode. When aunt Flo comes to visit, you know your mother gets upset etc. I now try to think of the dark times as a visit from aunt Flo - I know they will pass - I try and hold onto that. I too find walking in the woods to be a benefit. You know 'contemplating nature' used to be the posh treatment for melancholia - the poor got Bedlam. I am glad I came on this thread, I now know I am not the only one who uses a bit of towelie special medicine to obliterate the immediate present when I cant cope with it. Also helps the sleeping pills work - nights when sleep wont come are every night. You know govt stats are always lies on the topic, I suffered from depression way before I heard of towelies stuff - first overdose I was 14/15. Annonymous, please try and hold on to the memory of light when you find yourself in the darkness. Dont forget to bring a towel.
