My nephew is only a junior and already being scouted by the Marlins in early high school. She has too much to live for...

Nighty night...still I hope this person calls.

I'm sorry about your sister, LC. Best wishes and prayers to her and your family. What a day...

My prayers and best wishes go out to your sister and her family.

Sorry to hear about your sister, also sorry to hear about your nephew being scouted by the marlins and not a better team.

Support, strength, hope for this guy...anyone? We have all felt this way at one time or another so please don't be mean in this one thread.

I sure hope whatever is troubling him passes soon, things will get better if he works through it, suicide will be permanent as is mentioned here! You are right, it's extremely serious, hopefully he's to scared to actually do anything.

Thanks for the email Tom. Family and friends have needed a lot lately and it is good to know I have a friend on my side. I don't think this guy is going to do anything...I just think he feels like he wants to be dead. But I take it seriously even though I heard nothing back tonight.

I can't even believe this...but I am getting ready to leave my apt. at 2am to go buy a pack of smokes. It made me sleepless waiting for the call...

sorry to hear about the sis LC
About the whole suicide thing ... it's a pretty dark place to be and this is pretty much the reason that even though I don't post as much I still lurk here 24/7 ... the community is what its all about here

oh and LC ... smoke?! I thought you quit a while back

You're welcome Susan! You never know, maybe he's just reaching out, I sure hope so, and it's good to take it seriously, no one knows what his true thoughts are, maybe not even himself, I hope he at least contacts you so you know what is up! Oh, de je vu on the craving a smoke at 2 am, whenever I couldn't sleep, that would have been me, did you fight the urge?

Life is too short even if you haven't seen happiness in a long time or ever. Please think about your future. You may be losing the battle but please, not the war. If you need an non-judgemental ear PM or email me. This has been a trying year for me. Just remember, you're not alone.

Wow. +1 for FF's, Gard's and Dizz's words.

And here's something I take comfort in. I believe in the eternal interplay between Yin and Yang - the two complementary opposities. You know the symbol:

• 

But notice, nothing is ever absolutely only Yin or Yang, that is why there is a white dot (yang) within the Yin and a black dot (yin) within the Yang. The interplay of Yin and Yang is described by the following principles referred to as One Infinity:

The yin and yang represent all the opposite principles one finds in the universe. Under yang are the principles of maleness, the sun, creation, heat, light, Heaven, dominance, and so on, and under yin are the principles of femaleness, the moon, completion, cold, darkness, material forms, submission, and so on. Each of these opposites produce the other: Heaven creates the ideas of things under yang, the earth produces their material forms under yin, and vice versa; creation occurs under the principle of yang, the completion of the created thing occurs under yin, and vice versa, and so on. This production of yin from yang and yang from yin occurs cyclically and constantly, so that no one principle continually dominates or determines the other. All opposites that one experiences—health and sickness, wealth and poverty, power and submission—can be explained in reference to the temporary dominance of one principle over the other. Since no one principle dominates eternally, that means that all conditions are subject to change into their opposites.

This cyclical nature of yin and yang, the opposing forces of change in the universe, mean several things. First, that all phenomena change into their opposites in an eternal cycle of reversal. Second, since the one principle produces the other, all phenomena have within them the seeds of their opposite state, that is, sickness has the seeds of health, health contains the seeds of sickness, wealth contains the seeds of poverty, etc. Third, even though an opposite may not be seen to be present, since one principle produces the other, no phenomenon is completely devoid of its opposite state. One is never really healthy since health contains the principle of its opposite, sickness. This is called "presence in absence." But make no mistake and do not despair, it IS always there.

Yes, it is certainly fair to say Life is chock full of trial and tribulations, sadness and happiness, personal defeat and successes. They go hand in hand and can seem overwhelming when faced with an extended streak of the bad. But take comfort in knowing that is not true life. True life will -and must- bring one full circle. It is an eventuality and certainty if only you have the strength to let it be.

Both you and LC are in my prayers for continued strength and support.

I just got home and there was email and voice mail from our member who has been depressed. He was amazed at the love and support. One thing is off my mind and hopefully I will someday meet this person.

Wheeeewwww. That was intense!

I'm really glad that both of you are okay.

[Hexxum001]

Cool.


I mean, I know that it sucks that I can't make it out to Vegas to party with you, but you don't have to get all depressed about it Jaylin!

J/K!

Just trying to lighten the mood a little bit. I have no clue who it is.
