Not Story Related, But (Maybe) Worth A Read.

This morning I woke up a little earlier than usual. There was a lot of free time before I really had to get up and start doing anything, so I engaged in my guilty pleasure of ljsecret . I perused through post after post. Secret after secret. I giggled a little, I felt bad for some of the posters, and I skimmed over some because they were too long or boring

I almost cried reading your letter to OP. I think I would have cried if I knew someone who committed suicide like you did. When I first read the secret, I didn't even think "I am going to kill myself this week" means OP was going to commit suicide (that's how detached I am from the real world o_o). I hope OP and his/her family receives you love. :')

I didn't suspect Quentin has bipolar though!

I'm incredibly sorry to hear that. 'Tis not my intention to make the tear ducts burst.

I pray you never do. It's a very difficult thing to even try to recover from. The grenade description is far too accurate - sadly. It's something I hope no one has to go through, which is why I have such a strong belief in prevention. Most people are for suicide awareness/prevention, but it raises a few levels on your priority list when you've been personally affected in some way.

A little part of me feels weird for being so concerned about this person I will probably never know. However, I really can't help it. I worry for them, and keep hoping that they didn't do it; even if this means I never know if they did or not.

Bipolar disorder isn't always how people automatically think it is - deliriously happy/irritable to horrifically depressed. It can show itself in many ways, on varying levels. Quentin isn't on the extreme end of things (most of the time).
