Hi everyone,
As far as I know (I am assuming this because I believe I would have heard if things were otherwise), Vesper is alive and well - well maybe not well. I'm guessing he is pleased to find himself alive and in the hospital. I called the hospital - I am guessing like AprilA he is at the UCLA hospital. Anyway, I had no luck, as the phone operators are not too cooperative, and once they put you onto that machine, there is no hope to talk to another person. Last night, before I called his psychiatrist, I tried to get his number through these operators, and I quickly found out how useless they were - or at least seemed to be. Despite their reputation, the LAPD were much more helpful; and told me to call them back if I couldn't get his psychiatrist.If anyone knows the number to this hospital, I would love to have it. From the operators, I just kept getting numbers that had recordings and such. UGgggg! If not I will call his therapist tomorrow.
Thank you all for the lovely compliments! Whenever I read his postings, I felt like I already knew him from a long time ago, and felt like he was typing especially for me - although I know he wasn't. I guess I'm trying to say I felt/feel a strong connection to him for some reason.
AprilA - I don't know if you're still following this posting. I'm sorry this was so hard on you. Suicidal people, as far as I know, are not trying to be manipulative or get attention - These are just myths, kind of like we should be able to use our 'will power' to get out of our depression.
Trust me, Vesper was not able to think of anything but the incredible PAIN he was in, period. And everything he said were simply cries for help. Take especially good care of yourself AprilA. I'm sure we would all like for you to stay in touch.
I'll keep you updated on Vespers situation, as much as I am able to be. Janice
