Eagle Heart, so good to hear from you again! And your explanation of clinical depression is just so articulate. Thanks for taking the time to share your wise words from someone who has been there -- and made it back!!

Thank you, Yonuh and Anne. My primary psychiatrist in the 80's/90's often had me speak to his university class, because he told me that it was very rare in his experience to see someone not only survive such a serious suicide attempt but come back to life and be able to move forward with such determination to mend and thrive.

I have since met others (Princess Leonora/Lynn C. Tolson is a bright and shining one!) and believe that we're meant to share our stories so that others can see and find hope to see that it IS possible to get out and to find life "beyond the tears" (the title of Lynn's book).

Just read that Robin Williams was diagnosed with Parkinson's but his sobriety was intact. Like they say, everybody is dealing with something.
