Been there, Done that.

I am a preachy son of a bitch. If you want me to tell you how I dragged myself out of the black, I will happily. I probably already told you though, because parts of it were a big part of Pairodox's story. And I want to tell you, because three years later, I am still struggling, but being able to see the difference between then and now makes a world of difference.

I've been where you are and lost six months of my life to it.

Find help now, not necessarily pills but you've got to talk to somebody.

Life's pretty god-awful sometimes, pretty bird. Everything dies and nothing stays.

But you have a head full of sparks and lightning and a heart that's as courageous as any I've ever seen. You have the strength to walk through that black morass and the brilliance to make it look easy. I have nothing less than complete faith in you, and I'll continue to have that faith, because I don't back a bum horse. You're better than any darkness, even the crushing kind. You won't get any pity from me or any of the oddball friends you've cleverly chosen. Just love, I think.

Whatever help you need, find it. I admittedly don't know you that well, but I know that letting things fester inside rarely helps anything. Whatever choices you make, it seems pretty clear that there are people willing to help or support you. Certainly, your self worth should rely upon others, but at the same time, I don't think you devalue the judgment of others. You're not as worthless as you seem to think, and you should trust your friends to capably judge that for themselves.

I hope you get this all sorted out. And if you ever feel like railing about anything, I'm certainly willing to listen.
