@TheDepressedsuicidal rather than communicate in this public comments section, feel free to email me directly : newideas.net at gmail.com, and make sure you identify yourself in the subject line as I get over 100 emails a day. D.C.

@TheDepressedsuicidal - I'm so sorry... this breaks my heart for you. Life doesn't have to be this hard. Please find someone who can help you though this: a counselor at school, or a pastor, or someone else with some "years and miles" to give you their experience and perspective. Perhaps a doctor could help you too. I am praying for you, even as I write this. Your life matters...
