Thank you :)
It was kind of based from an experience...

i could tell that by Adam's reactions. he didn't have a magic fix for the situation. he was as confused as anyone else would be, and just offered to be there for his friend. i love how you gave it comfort without forcing a happy ending

I've been in Adam and Tommy's places a number of times before. Mostly Tommy. But its kind of hard to describe what a person is going through that moment since its different for everyone.

I kind of wanted to stick as close to reality as I can with this one. Since in the real world there isn't really a 'real cure' for depression and bipolar disorder. And I think that people who deal with situations like these should feel loved and assured that they're not messed-up coz of what they're going through.

As for the ending, I think it just fit. its not 'poof! happy ending!' but still a good ending, with hope.

Wow, this was really touching. The hope at the end leaves it where Tommy has someone to help him no matter what, and I'm sure the fear of going too far would make him want to stop doing it. Of course, there's a difference between wanting to do something and doing it, and I think you captured that perfectly. <3

Thank you, I'm really happy you like it bb <3
I think the ending really suits the whole fic. It leaves just enough hope. Its not a real happy ending, but at least it didn't end darkly.
See, that's kind of the thing. Yeah, its really different from thinking of doing something, than actually doing something about it. and in this case for Tommy, when his emotions over-ride everything else, those feelings get too intense for him to handle...

wow that was a hard read so painful ! but the emotion you wrote with was beautiful !! Would be wonderful if everyone with depression had a friend like Adam ♥♥

[youkeyh]

I'm sorry that was painful to read bb... But thank you, I'm glad you like it. :)
Ohgosh, I think if I had an Adam in my life I wouldn't be depressed ever again :)
