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.
