it was unavoidable, and i need help so yesterday i came out of the "mental illness closet," i'm calling it. i told michelle and i told my mom that i need professional help, that i'm tired of all these irrational thoughts of suicide popping up in my head. there's nothing more that i hate than spewing my plague of problems on people, i've always been

Wow haha, yeah that is kinda a kick in the pants to have to deal with heavy issues like that on your birthday. :\

But hey, instead you could always try to look at it like "Happy Birthday Randy, here are some happy pills to help you start improving your moods/quality of life!"

There is something wrong with every single person on the face of this planet. You aren't any lesser of a person for going through it. In fact your ability to recognize this as a problem and take the appropriate steps to make things better says miles about what a good head you have on your shoulders. Chemical imbalances can be regulated. Common sense is something else all together that far too many seem to lack...

I'm really glad you opened up and sought help. I'm glad there are people in your life who jumped right on it and are there for you. :)

(Er, sorry this is a week late; this is the first time I've been on el-jay in a while.)

I'm really proud of you for opening up and telling your family you needed help, I know how hard it is. For me it was always The Look people would give me that made me not want to say anything about my mental issues. :/

If you ever want to talk about how things are, or how your treatment is going, give me a call, IM, email or whatever. I've been there, so I'd like to think I'm a realiable source of advice, or even just Rant Receiver. : D
