Carl, I want to mention a few other things. Some people trying to help a Chronic sufferer get frustrated and Feel like their hands are tied. Some can only empathise. Others get upset and get angry because they cannot help. Then there is tough love which you have apparently experienced.
From the tenor of the postings to you, I think we ALL are VERY concerned about you. Some think suicide is the ultimate selfish action. But when it comes to CHs and the severe pain, thoughts of suicide seems to be common,but if posted in the subject or body of a posting it can freak people out. Thus, you may have others attempting to save you by all sorts of attempts angrily or lovingly, especially tough love and a variety of attempts to save your ass. What I am trying to say is please give THEM a break; we all make mistakes in or postings.
Love DC
