OK I'll throw mine in too. Years ago, my parents were on the verge of a divorce, and they asked the whole family, even the ones not living at home anymore (me) to see a counseler with them. We're kind of a wacky, screwed up family (or were). I was going through soem really bad times (divorce, jail, unemployed) and I said something to the effect that I was just tired of dealing with life. I didn't want to kill myself, but it wouldn't have bothered me if I had just "checked out" at that point.
Over the next couple years, I worked hard, pulled my head out of my *** , went back to school, met a really nice lady that I'm still married to. Things got good for me.
I was helping my parents move a few years ago and as we were packing up the bedroom, I found a peice of paper with some notes on it. Right in the middle of the page, underlined, were the words "Chris says he doesn't want to live anymore". 10 years later, my dad had hung onto this paper. I must have really worried the $hit out of them.
The thing is, none of the stuff that was an issue back then even mattered anymore. I can't even remember what most of my "big" problems were.
Listen to what the rest of these guys are saying.Sometimes you can't even see what's really going on with your life because you're too involved. Listen to what the people outside the fishbowl looking in can see.
