Questionnaire 10

Do you feel suicidal or have a need to hurt yourself or others?

No.  Not in years.

I think I have mentioned that when I was growing up I had seasonal depressions every spring.  And so from time to time I would be gripped by a kind of despair.  Sometimes it took the form of suicidal thoughts, but never because I wanted to hurt myself -- let alone anybody else.  It was always just a desire to get out of pain.  But I haven't felt that way now in ... hell, I don't know.  Twenty years, maybe.  Maybe more.  I credit my antidepressants, but also getting my life more together.
