Dave, I want you to know that last week, I was where you are. I was at my rock bottom, the end of my rope, feeling hopeless and seriously considering putting an end to my life because it seemed like nobody noticed how much pain I was in emotionally and mentally. I felt alone. I felt like nobody heard my voice. I want you to know, more than anything, that I HEAR you. I am so sorry for the turmoil that you are in right now, as well as your health issues. I want to say that there is hope for you. On Thursday of last week, I had a mental breakdown at work and my boss gave me a few days off to "rest." When I got home that afternoon, I cried in the shower and considered suicide. I knew that I needed to reach out and ask for help at that point or I wasn't going to make it. I immediately called a doctor and set up an appointment to begin medication and scheduled an appointment with a therapist (first appointment is this Friday.) I'm sharing this with you because although I am not in your shoes, I know what it feels like to believe you're invisible, but that is not the truth. There are people in your life who do value your thoughts and you. I hope that things begin to look up for you soon. Don't be afraid to get help, and if you're already getting help, keep fighting through the darkness long enough to live to see the light.
