I think you are writing in a way that makes me read, all through, it's a lot of text, but I read it all.
Putting things into perspective is something we often forget in our sorrow and painful situation. There is so much into this and getting out of isolation, out in the sun:-) I have never been thinking serious about suicide, I have on the other hand been suffering from depression and anxiety. The main problem was that I did not go out or seek other people. I did not put it in a perspective, when I feel better I know how important that is. Meeting other people is much better than I thought:D
Lot of irrelevant text here, but the point is that what you are doing here is a great thing and I hope it will help someone out there, this is still so hard to talk about, which is sad. I think that a lot of the helping work might be done talking about it.

I did need to read this a couple of times - in part because I tried to rush the first reading - a foolish thing to do. ;c)
Much as @kerlund74 has mentioned - your post is wordy, it is long, but its also packed with interesting information - and I could hardly keep up with half of the pop-culture references.
Common-sense is often said to be far from common. This is part of the reason why information and advice as you have provided here is of importance.
Again I got the sense that this could have been sub-divided into a number of posts (Benefits of sunlight, dangers of isolation, the fallacies of honor perceived, the benefits of self-forgiveness, and gratitude).
All in all though a brilliant second installment @spaingaroo.
I agree with your idea, that it is several posts, but there are still more big chunks to come too.
Today's didn't get written as I have been in negotiations all day and then at a telephonic wake for a dead dog.
But I thank you for the time you have spent to read my post, and I hope to read those other posts, that yesterday didn't get read, over on your linked-in.
These days just get crazier, but I had a very interesting day today, and possibly life changing, and always change is good.
for me
I am sorry to leave you such a disjointed comment, but once again, thanks and we'll continue to be in contact for sure.
I am not 'criticizing' your choice to bundle them all together. I am saying that as a fellow blogger I see these as potentially missed opportunities to have more content further down the road.
Not that there is anything preventing you from revisiting any aspect of your work in its own dedicated post.
Your comment is perfectly fine. As for whether I should be your editor or mentor - I feel that we both have plenty to learn from each other - just as is true of many others upon this platform.

Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning.

I love some of your quotes old fella, but I am never sure if it means that you read the post or not.

Oh don't get me wrong @spaingaroo.

Have a great day.
eso, estoy de acuerdo, yo tengo hasta ganas a saber lo que viene siguiendo esto, casi incluso que solo sea descanso.
Pero aún estoy muy lejos de haber hecho los deberes bien hechos
así que aun me queda tiempo aquí hasta que los tengo hechos
