: I am in a place right now, where I feel like ending my life. I won't, but the feelings are there. I feel such hopelessness & despair right now. I feel so alone. Nothing in my life is working out. Nothing.
I'm very sorry for you and for however you may be feeling right now. I wish I could say more. If you're comfortable with it, perhaps we could understand and empathize more if we knew what was causing you such pain. If you do not wish to disclose it on the board, feel free to write me an email

All I can really say right now, is that you sound like a good person, and that your pain doesn't make you any less of one. I'm sure many of us (myself included) have had these same feelings at times. While it's true that they eventually pass, I know that doesn't bring any relief to your immediate situation. I might suggest listening to what the pain is telling you. If you just try to get rid of it, you may end up feeling worse for not being able to "get out of it."
I hope you feel at least a little understood. Write if you feel the need.
Understanding and compassion,
Matt
