Dear Tori,
I have felt and still sometimes feel the way you do. As I have rapid cycling manic depression, Lately, I've been thinking I may be living my entire life fighting depression--and sometimes on the verge of suicide.
While depressed I cannot remember any other state of being--life before depression, nor imagine life after the depression. Like all these nice folks have pointed out to you, although it's hard to imagine, a change can come quickly. This happens all the time.
What stops me from killing myself is the possibility that there is a God. I have studied religions, and in all but a very few religions, suicide is the worst possible sin a person could commit against God.
Suicide is like giving God the finger. I don't want the chance of having that on my soul.
Tori, please keep us uptodate on your situation.
Janice
