A "bleak" life is infinitely better no life at all.

Hopefully things will get better sooner rather than later.

Damn, I wish I could send you winter clothes and coat. :-(

Hey, vent all you want here. Things are going to get better, no matter how cliché this is, it will. You are a good guy no matter how deep of despair you may be now, you will get through this and this despair will be nothing more than a distant memory.

I'm sorry for the wait on things. Vent all you want, I know I'm doing more tha my share of it too. If you live in a big enough area I do know the Goodwill or Salvation army does clothing programs for people needing of coats.

I obviously don't know the whole situation here but you're a great guy. We all go through our own ups and downs in life and you never know when you'll start on your way back up again. Maybe it's tomorrow. Maybe it's three months from now. If you persevere and listen to some of the good advice in this thread, you'll reach that good stuff and be a stronger person for it.

Try focusing on the good things in your life. For example, I think having the internet is great! When I lost it for a week, I was going crazy! Sometimes it's the little things like that that make you cheer up. Look for them. Enjoy them. Push the bad things out of your mind unless they need immediate attention (unless it's medical-- you need to keep on those but I'd classify that as always immediate attention). You'll get through it!

Bullshit! You're one of my favorite posters here. On some days, you're #1 (seriously). If you weren't around here with the superhero draft, I probably wouldn't be posting much at all anymore.
I know someone who recently got approved for disability, and she received a backlog from the moment of disability. Once you get approved, you should have a financial windfall coming your way.

Please hang in there--if not for yourself, then for all the selfish bastards here that love ya.

Don't be unreasonable, Erik. And know that you'd only be lying to yourself if you think that your life is worth ending, because your life is full of beautiful and wonderful things worth experiencing and contemplating and adoring. Whenever I get mad, I look for gardens or try to glance at a beautiful girl or just look or hear things around me and focus at doing so and loose myself in doing so, and ask myself how I'd be justified in ending my life when there are so many wonderful things everywhere, so many mysterious and beautiful things that I'm experiencing, regardless of knowing. Of course there is pain, but that's not all there is and I try to thank God everyday that I didn't kill myself before truly realizing that.

If I could, I'd take a walk with you and show you how awesome things are in life, but honestly you don't really need anybody to experience and wonder about things.

Go take a walk and just really look at things. You're a nice guy, and you don't deserve your own judgment about living.
