<strong> LemonMan,

this Letter is to all of my friends at Mb, you all have supported me in so many way's that I just can't begin to comprehend the amount of Genuine love and carring that goes on in these forums.

I have taken a very long look in the mirror and have once again been verbally abused by the spouse, I did real good and just let it roll off my back. I even told her i'm sorry she is having such a rough day, I then went and ran a nice bubble bath for her with her favorite scent added to it.

I'm tired, I'm just really tired, I barely have the energy to look at myself yet drop one more usless Lb on the ww, My LB's don't do me any good nor do they help her.

Tonight she told me if I really love her that I would do us both a favor and do away with myself. I think for once the ww is right on track.

I really did try, and I'm sorry for not being as strong as all of you. </strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">I copied this from MSchluter's thread. It is near the bottom of page 3. Here is the link: MSchluter's thread

There is a great concern on my part and need your input. I have not posted to him much and so if those of you who are familar with his sitch and are helping, please check this out.

I see a cry for help from a person who feels they are at their wits end. Haven't received a response yet, so I am getting a bit worried.

Your help and support is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
L.

Orchid,
I wish he would come talk to us. I think he can save his marriage, I really think he can, if he will not give up.

Have no idea how to contact him off the boards, but I hope he is OK.

SS

Thanks SS. Your support is invaluable. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" /> I also see that aussie's W has posted a very good support response.

I don't like the queeziness in the pit of my stomache right now from his post. I hope he replies soon.

Mahalo,

I really did try, and I'm sorry for not being as strong as all of you.

Sounds like I have a few times over the last couple of months.

Please stick around Mschluter!

O, he has talked about it before. The other night he was writing a suicide note and his daughter called out to him and that tore it.

He has invited StandingTogether to chat with him privately on Yahoo.

Will Paxil help him, I wonder, and how long does it take before its effects show?

GC

I have been told that it takes about 2 weeks for Zoloft, dunno about other anti-d's.

Thank you Orchid for bringing it to our attention...

I have Michael's mailing address, if that could be of use to anybody.

GC

His phone number is unlisted.

graycloud,

Email me please.

I'm very worried about Michael, and I was wondering...

I know his address, but I can't get his unpublished phone number. I'm racking my brain - can anybody make any suggestions?

He lives in upstate NY.

I can't think of much else today. I'm doing my budget to keep my mind occupied.

GC

You could try contacting the local police department and/or Suicide Hotline for that part of the country. Just tell them what you know and they should be able to take it from there.

Does anyone know his work number or location, or even his wife's number or place of employment?

Graycloud, after d-day I went on Lexapro and was amazed at how fast it kicked in. After 3 days I was noticing a difference in myself. I don't know this MBer's story, but how cruel and tragic for his W to say what she said.

MSchluter, no one is worth suicide. Please think about your children if you can't think about yourself now. We are here for you! CV

Thanks everyone (especially to Graycloud and Justuss). <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

MS has been posting and I wasn't able to check in until now. I believe he will have a better back up plan next time.

Again, this is a great place for support and all your posts are greatly appreciated. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

Mahalo,
