Dear friends,

I am 84 years of age. I have had major depression, and mood swings since I was three. I have wanted to die, all my life, up till now. In May of this year, I was pushed into the suicide plan I had planned and “perfected” for years.
Possible trigger:
I caused immense panic among friends/family/partner (I live alone) and still have the voice mails of them trying to reach me, couldn’t, and reported me to the police as a missing person.

That was four months ago, and I am only now nearly over the pain of the broken hip.

Since then, things have gotten better and better for me. I no longer want to die. I n o longer have suicidal plans, although when I had major anger last week,
Possible trigger:
But I have no plans to buy a gun, and do not want to kill myself.

I have struggled my whole live against depression and anger. I believe that I am well on the road to recover.

If you are a prayerful person, please join me in praying for myself, for all of you here, and for any and all persons and matters that need us.
