(...) You are a brave person to speak of you problem! And I think I should learn from you. We are often shy to communicate our troubles to others, but perhaps we just underestimate them. There are lots of people who would be happy to help you out, and maybe they are even closer than you think... p.s. Thanks to everyone who cares, you make me feel the world is a better place. A., Minsk

Oh Anon, can you imagine how glad I am to see your response? I'm writing from the other part of the globe (Minsk, Belarus), and I'm deeply, genuinely moved buy what's going on here. I've been clicking F5 button all day just to hear something from you on this blog. And I'm so happy you feel better! (...)

Anon, I'm glad you're feeling a bit better. Just know that if you need someone to talk to, we're all here. :)

Just because people are jerks sometimes, or because they don't notice that you are serious, doesn't mean nobody would care if you killed yourself. Just keep that in mind.

I was also thinking of commiting suicide UNTIL I FOUND THIS BLOG. and I've just realized how blind I've been. DON'T DO IT, PLEASE. if you ever want to talk to another person who REALLY knows what you're feeling now, I'll come off anon and talk to you!

Nonnie, every life is precious. I have no idea what prompted this but I've been on the other side-and the people around someone who is suicidal and tries to kill themself often are just at a loss. It's not that they don't care, it's that they don't know what to do, or don't want to consider that someone would actually kill themself. I let this happen once before, and I'll be damned if I'll do it again so Nonnie, know that I'm here and I would love to speak with you. Stay safe please. We love you

(cont three) Or maybe you have, and you haven't realized it. I'm sure that someone you know loves you, and cares about you. And would be devastated if you died. That's why I decided to talk to someone. Because as much as I wanted my own pain to end, I didn't want to be the cause of a lasting, permanent pain to everyone else I know. Because I know how it feels when one of your friends says they want to die - I've been there too. If you ever want to talk to someone, I'm open. I will listen. Quend

(cont two) Explain to someone, anyone, even me why you think death is the only way out. Let us help you. Let us listen. Even if we can't change your mind in the end, we want to try. Because we care and we want you to live. So please, please take it to heart when you read all these messages. People care. We may only seem like URLs right now, but I promise you that there are real people on both ends. And if you think no one loves you, you haven't met the right person yet. Or maybe you

Anon: I know many people have said this, and many people say it truthfully: I CARE. I would say that I understand, but it's impossible for me to. I have been there before, but I am obviously not you. I cannot know what you have gone through, what you are going through that has led you to this point. What I can say is this (and it may sound really clinical, but I believe it's true): life is like the economy. In economics, you are required to hit a trough. But it always comes back up.
