As we all know there comes times in our lives when depression gets the better of us. I used to kid myself that sooner or later things will get better. Or that I could live my life as who I am one day. Or that one day discrimination will end.
I was obviously sadly deluded. I think all my life I have never made a difference to anyone, and I have never been loved by anyone. That's not a life, that's an existance. It's time I ended it, and ended wasting rescources.
Goobye. I see no point in me being here anymore.

Hey kid,

Don't go. At least not that way. Not under pressure from the outside world. You've still got alot to contribute here in this fallen world, so much to do and see!

I understand that depression can get pretty strong sometimes. I've been there alot. But, I also found that God would be there with me. And I don't mean some mushy, hypocritical, stab-you-in-the-back religion. I mean the Creator of the universe who loved me enough to die a horrible death on my behalf, One who not only understands what and who I am but who loves me as IS, who loves me in spite of all the bad things that I've done.

When Christ's disciples asked what sin the blind man or his parents committed that he should be born that way, Christ answered that it wasn't because of sin it was because God wanted to glorify Himself in that man's life. And then Christ healed that blind man.

God doesn't mean for you to end your life by your own hand. HE doesn't condemn you for being IS. Why give in to others who condemn you and would be glad to see you go?

Kind regards,
cjs

Girly Boy,
If you leave, what does that say to every other IS person here? That it is okay to give up?

There have been days I am only a step away, but I have always moved away from the edge, even if I'm not sure what lies ahead... because SOMETHING WONDERFUL MUST be there for me.
This suffering, confusion, delusion... it is all for some greater reason I just don't see.

If you give up now, then you won't ever get the chance to know what that is in your life. If you leave, you will never know the grief you leave behind, the souls that you have touched... the souls yet to be touched by you.

I visited a friend in the hospital yesterday, a place where people fight to live. No matter how hard their lives are, or how badly their bodies are broken, those people want another day... more time. It strikes me hard that while some people strive to breathe, others are willing to give it up.

I hope you stepped back from your edge, Girlyboy. You would be missed and mourned. We would feel inadequate for not helping enough, and sad for the world without you.

Folks, Using my crack journo skills (they are good---trust me) I was able to track down someone in Australia who should be able to track down GB. Unfortunately, it also meant possibly outing him, and I struggled with that. However, given the fact the GB hasn't visited since the post above, I felt that trying to keep him alive--if he still is--took priority over privacy.

I am saddened it took me so long to see this post, but I was out of pocket and without internet access since Sunday evening. I am not a very religious person, but I got St. Jude around my neck and will be doing my best to hope we see GB again. I would urge you to do the same using your own methods. If I hear anything back from Australia, I will let everyone know.

Betsy

Yesterday I went to the viewing for a co-worker's daughter. She had just turned 18; only a few months older than my stepson.
I'm told the dead don't have auras, but as I saw her lying in state, I couldn't shake the horrible feeling that she didn't succeed in running away - she didn't find the peace she was looking for.
Very very sad.

Hi! we are not too much in this world and we are not the worst part of it!!!!!!!!!! I also sometimes feel completely alone, but it doesn´n mean that the only way is way out. Going out will close any possibility to change somethig. Every value compared with zero is infinity.
Beleive, even on the other side of the Earth are people like You and together we will survive!!!!!!!!!!!!
