Of course it would matter. Your posts are individual, just like you are. There may be many other posters, but none would have the same cadence and rhythm to their posts as there are to yours. The internet may be anonymous, but there is a sort of community here that leads us to care about one another. Otherwise no one would bother to post here.
Death happens and life goes on but no one is expendable. That's what the WTC disaster was about. It wasn't 5000 deaths. It was 5000 individuals whose lives mattered and whose families grieve and whose children will have to face the future without their parent. And that is without the added pain of knowing their parents chose to die. In some areas the cosmic sense means nothing and the personal sense means everything.
There is a bulletin board for the survivors of people who commit suicide somewhere on the internet. Reading a few posts there would bring home the pain that comes to friends and family of those who commit suicide.
If you are feeling that hopeless, please call your doctor at once and let him know what is going on. And it really does matter to me.
