Well not sure how much is really changed since my last post but I'm back to 'stable' status now I guess. Much of what resulted in the last post is still there but the emotions it's all caused are back under control for now. I can say I'm surprised by the amount of response I got on and off of lj about this and the apparent genuine concern of people

I read your journal when I find it running across my feed. I just don't necessarily always have much to contribute. Depression and suicide ideation however are topics I know intimately. I also know what it feels like to believe you have no future, no ability to impact the course of your life, and therefore no hope. Sometimes it helps just to know you're not the only one suffering out there. The hard truth is that the only cure is changing your life circumstances that are causing you to be unhappy which is very difficult. Meds sure do help me deal with my depression so that I can try and put some effort forward towards that but they won't cure the root cause. Only making changes in my life will.

Jobs are hard to get right now, decent ones even more so. The economy is suck so it's not personal it's widespread. Honestly, the fact that you have a job and manage to keep roof overhead (not to mention supporting another person or two) on your own is doing well these days.
