I'm deeply saddened to hear this is quite a raw subject for you at the moment, popsoz. I don't come close to knowing what it's like to lose a loved one or someone within my community to suicide...

Hopefully the world is willing to open up more of a dialogue around mental health in years to come. Depression is horrible. It's just awful. And there's nothing more confronting and fearful than living with dark thoughts that are maddeningly painful, harmful and (at least in my case) completely irrational, yet impossible to ignore.
Thank you for stopping by and reading, I appreciate it.

Thanks for your thoughts and clarification. I will check out Eric Lacombe's work. I think as a society, we've evolved quite a bit on this subject but still have a long way to go. Thanks for doing your part to spread the word.
