I just caught up with your comment from half a day ago. I really appreciate you reading so many of my blogs and taking the time to comment. It, commenting, is something that I should do much more of to encourage our fellow BN members. Here.s wishing you a Happy New Year and comments galore on your posts.

Thank you for sharing with me. It makes me happy to think that my own struggles may help others deal with their problems.

Laz,
Keep hanging onto those nuggets. That's what does it for me. I can't bear the thought of suicide because it would mean leaving my family behind, it would mean leaving undone things I want to do, and it would mean not seeing sights I want to see. Simple, attainable goals (yet meaningful to me) keep me plugging away. Fortunately I have enough of these attainable goals to fill several lifetimes. Failures no longer concern me. Every time I fail I remind myself of the successes and promise myself to do better next time.
I wish you a proliferation of all those nuggets along with a healthy and productive new year.

Thanks for sharing that with us Notapoet.
I think there are a lot of people here on BN, myself included,who can relate to this. It gives hope to others to know that others are dealing with similar problems to themselves and to know how they deal with it on a daily basis. And no I don't think it will ever go away, but hopefully the happy days will outnumber the down days sometimes.

you are among the lucky ones notapoet....i walk among unsuccessful suicidee's as i write...some of the depressed here did not know they were depressed when they made their 'attempts'...thankfully something intervened...there are many cases that never reach this stage...
i often wonder what i am doing here...when 'reason' gets the upper hand in the battle for neurotransmitters...i make a good case for hope...
sometimes i reach a blind corner...this is when i really dig deep...thankfully there are nuggets that float at the surface i can hang on to...
