Well DSM I had OCD a few years back and that is pretty wearing. Funny how things creep up on one I suppose once in a low state of mind anything can happen.

Indeed, it is scary how common suicide is.

My first husband was eventually diagnosed with Bipolar some years after we divorced. A lot of things fell into place for me, by then, for I was a psych trained nurse, and so much became clear. It is exhausting living with someone who is Bi Polar.

I used to be bipolar...
but I have given up on the manic side of it. But it may be interesting that this applies only to certain aspects of my life.
Here's a thing about being suicidal: friends and counselors tell the person who says they are sometimes having suicidal thoughts (stage 1) or impulses (stage 2), (stage 3 is suicidal plan-making) "Promise you will call me if you start feeling this way." The thing is, by the time someone is that deep into depression, they are in their own world, and calling anyone simply isn't going to happen. Part of that world is being unable to believe anyone really cares, and how others feel or will feel about it is simply irrelevant. It is an ultimately selfish act of profound desperation. It is the final choice of someone who is utterly alone in their universe.
