		<description><![CDATA[At the risk of jeopardizing my disability status, let me say once and for all, &#8220;I am not suicidal!&#8221; Perhaps it is a limitation of the English language that we can inadvertently become the adjectives used to describe our behavior and feelings. So let me be clear: I have attempted suicide. I have thought a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Many of you know that I have made an effort to share with my friends and family (F&#38;F) the struggles with suicidality that have plagued me for so long. I can honestly say that my intentions for doing so were innocent. I was not trying to manipulate their emotions or behavior toward me, I was not [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[That&#8217;s right: an addiction. Suicide pops into my head now at the least hint of anxiety. It&#8217;s like a craving&#8212;strike that&#8212;it is a craving, every bit as much as an alcoholic&#8217;s craving for his drink of choice, every bit as much as a sex addict&#8217;s craving for &#8220;old time&#8217;s sake.&#8221; When an addict indulges, it [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well, I&#8217;ve been trying depression for a while, but that doesn&#8217;t seem to be shaking off the suicidal ideation.  Seems rather obvious to you, I guess.  I tried everything else, so I thought maybe depression would be just the thing.  People always say, &#8220;Stop being so depressed.  Stop thinking about suicide.&#8221; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Nobody loves me.
I&#8217;m all alone.
Suicide is better than living a life of misery.
Everyone will be better off without me.
I&#8217;m not getting any better.
I&#8217;ll show them!  They are going to suffer with the guilt of driving me to suicide&#8230;
The kids will grieve of course, but they will be better off with a new father than [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A Change Gonna Come
Sam Cooke&#8217;s old song &#8220;A Change Gonna Come&#8221; is about the hopefulness of a Black American despite the sorrowful life available to him.  I find the words are applicable to any situation in which a person must find hope in a better future despite all evidence to the contrary.

I read one article that proposed a possible answer that also incorporates the link between creativity and madness (documented in very good studies, by the way).

		<description><![CDATA[Does anyone remember the old Garrison Keilor song about a cat &#8212; all cats actually &#8212; that constantly changes its mind about wanting to be inside or outside?
&#8220;Well &#8230; I wanna go out.  Yes, the great outdoors is for me.  I&#8217;m just a wandering soul, that can&#8217;t be held down.
But &#8230; I wanna come in.  Yes, I [...]]]></description>
