Fantastic quote from Mr. Wallace. And those who have not felt the flames have no understanding of dying by suicide, or considering it.

Thank you Caitlin. On certain days you say exactly what I need to contemplate. You are a wonder!

That quote from David Foster Wallace perfectly describes suicidal feelings and psychosis. I've been to that ledge, with the flames licking around me, and the fall looked much better than the alternative. People who haven't been to that place have no idea. They just look at you funny. Or worse yet, they assume that your impulse to self-destruction has to do with them - that you don't like them, or they don't matter enough to you when nothing could be further from the truth ( ... )

At first I thought it was the temporary overnights chewing me raw inside, then I came to realize it's the select soul-sucking people in the world at large, let alone the periphery of what's supposed to be simply earning a paycheck.

I am at odds reconciling any of this inside.

(And any commonalities between certain places in the Big Lie of Blogging today are complete synchronicities.)
