Well this is nice to read. I have PTSD, and attempted suicide three weeks ago. I was having a big problem last night and almost rang the same number. I'm glad that I didn't. So next time I'll probably just get into a bag, or jump from a higher place than last time.

Very sorry to hear this, mate. With depression, we lose sight of the small wins in life like a beautiful day, or a walk on the beach. Society measures success by wealth/status but individually, deep down, all of us know that the accumulation of small wins is the ticket. My son has asperger's and this is what I try to instil in him. I hope you're OK.
