I've had it twice in my life, following severe losses in life. Both times I didn't want to live. I eventually moved out of both the first one taking 3 months for the worst of it to pass, with improvements over a year with it getting less and less. The second was really rough and I was older. That took 4 years to get through completely. Much longer than the first. Occasionally, if I focus on it or am put in a situation to talk of the events, brings back some anger or melancholy but I'd rather just move on. Time can be your friend. The first was age 20 with the break-up of an engagement the second was severe financial losses from fraud and embezzlement of a significant amount of money leaving me broke. It can be overcome but everyone's different.

Hello, Bearcat. Two Questions: Are you Malcor? Because call-out threads don't get moved to the Romper Room, but asking who Malcor is, as in being mult was moved there. Only a mod can do that. Why is DC getting over-moderated these days?
