They can keep you busy while you&#39;re feeling the worst of it hopefully. You need to find something to keep you occupied on a small goal, even if it&#39;s just explaining how you feel, or talking about the times you liked with the person you lost or something. Anything. I find thinking about the future and past can make it worse so I have to shut that out by thinking about other things. Sometimes you&#39;re so down you can&#39;t DO otherthings so simply have to think of them. I know its hard the mind revolves around negative things when we&#39;re in that place but keep trying. </p> <p>I can&#39;t say much more than this, when I feel ready to die I listen to my heart beat because it works hard every second of the day, and will for the rest of my life. It can&#39;t have a rest, it doesn&#39;t have a choice, just like us, or at least that&#39;s how it often feels right? So as I see it, we&#39;re in this together. If my heart hasn&#39;t given up I feel like I have to keep going for that awesome little muscle.</p> <p>It might sound odd but it works for me, and perhaps it&#39;ll work for you?</p> <p>Please keep us posted. x </p> http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/at-a-crisis-point#post-290721 Fri, 18 Jan 2013 01:28:47 +0000 Vampyros 290721@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ <p>Losing someone is a powerful negative trigger I am still in pain after the loss of KS.</p> <p>But I take positives from her success, love and life.

A very good friend of mine also died this year and with other very difficult stress factors my mood is extremely low and difficult to manage. I really feel at this point my life has no future and has no meaning other than suffering all of which I don&#39;t think I can face any more. The past is always a reminder and the present of how hard things are and I don&#39;t know how to overcome this and turn any sort of corner to face things further. </p>
