Oh. Well, that was a while ago, and I get over that stuff quickly. Very few people have that power over me, anyway; they were one of the only friends I had, and it was extremely unusual behavior foming from them. It was kind of devastating to me that there was a thought that was directed at me by a trusted source that was negative and I couldn’t explain… but I could, so now I’m all the more confident. This is a success story! I’ve historically never actually committed sucide, and it was a combination of other stress factors as well that produced that response. I doubt that I actually would, in part because I have no painless means of doing so: when I actually contemplate the action, it’s just logistically impossible to do the way I like. I’ve also gotten real good at talking myself out of it. Usually it’s out of a “that’ll show ’em” attitude, which I recognize immediately, and also recognize that that would be both cruel and a detriment to society. So, I appreciate your concern for me a lot, but I don’t think I’m in any danger of dying at all. Thanks a lot for caring, though!
