Really? You know, I've wanted for a long time to talk to someone who
was in the midst of actively considering killing himself--not
necessarily out of any noble aspirations, but because I don't "get"
the mindset you'd have to be in to do something like that. It's kind
of an alien state of mind to me--I don't grok it, I don't under-
stand it, so I'd like to talk to someone who was actually IN it
to see what it's like. Pardon the lack of sensitivity, but
it's hard to sympathize with someone when you have absolutely no
handle whatsoever on what's going through his mind.
