Oh I understood you very well after I read your first explanation. I just don't agree with you. And you don't agree with me. That's okay. Please don't be disappointed by thinking you'd accidentally posted something hopeful.Tis not so!!! And have a slightly less grim day if possible which it's probably not :)

> It would be a great disappointment to me if the message I sent was that things got better when one hit 50. No, nay, nein, never. Things will never get better. We will never overcome our own personal idiosyncratic dx's and demons. There will never be a certainty to any happiness we do experience. We will never live without pain. We will always wish we were dead--if that's where we come from. And, that is definitely where I come from. Suicidal ideation has been with me for as long as I can remember (in the single digits, early, like about 5 years old). I don't believe it will ever be gone, I don't believe my depression will ever be gone, I don't believe life will be anything approaching a bed (or even cot) of roses. Period.
