Been thinking alot about suicide. I had ECT done about 6 months ago and I am back to being severly depressed and maybe I am just not longed for this world. I am hoping someone can help before it's too late. Andrea

Dear readingfanatic,

Please don't do that. I know it feels really bad but things will get better. I have depression and sometimes I feel the way you do, but it will only hurt the people you love and won't solve anything. I just wanted to tell you that. Take care and feel better.

Hi. I noticed your screen name because I love to read also, and I read to escape the real world. I like books much better than the real world. In the last place I lived, I almost read all the interesting books in the library. Then I moved. Now I'm almost done with all of the good books in this library, then hopefully I'll be moving again and have a new library.

What are your favorite types of books? I like science fiction and fantasy. I just realized...I probably like them because they are as different from real life as you can get! I especially like the books where a person from reality finds their way to a fantasy world. I always wish that could happen to me. I guess I live in a fantasy world already. It is much better than the real world could ever be, that is for sure.

Did you ever read Virtual Mode? It's a fantasy book, the hero is a suicidal girl. She found some resolution at the end of the series. I can't give away the ending but it was pretty interesting.
