> I'm in pretty serious straits here ... with thoughts of hanging myself, and I'm not kidding. Things are pretty desperate. I've gotta bow out of some commitments I've made, and stating "I'm having some personal health issues" just isn't going to cut it. I guess I should call my M.D. I think I can hang in there (no pun intended), and I'm not -- seriously in peril -- although I wish those nasty images would go away. I've just gotta move into some extreme self care here -- cutting back to only those things that are most essential and citing "mental health crisis" as an excuse doesn't feel very good, nor do I wish to go public with the fact that I've got depression. It's none of their frigging business. :-( Any other suggestions? Sorry Kazoo. The chuckles were certainly appreciated, but I'm certainly open to any other ideas. What else you got up you sleeve? XXX, E.I am Not trying to make light of your situation. When I read your note, I said to myself, What would you say if you had a terrible illness, a fever, a cold...You would say, maybe, I feel terrible right now, and just cant make it. Then I would call my doctor and take myself to the hospital.
I wish I could help you, loan you my spouse so he can answer the phone for you and tell everyone you are indisposed and will get back to them later.
