You are very sweet Scott. Unfortunately I am a pessimist. :( Besides, look what happened to the Titanic!
Your analogy to a sinking boat is very accurate though. I think I've gone through the Bermuda Triangle and am lost forever.
I'm 36 years old and this is the worst I have felt since I was 13 and attempted suicide for the first time.

The boat never seems to sink to the bottom, though. It stays afloat despite being full of water. The boat itself is still buoyant. Better said, you are still buoyant. Your natural survival instincts and your true desire to live keep you afloat. When you regain the energy, you once again try to build a life for yourself.
