Tell us a little more about your pain and why you think suicide is the only possible solution. There might be some effective alternatives which you haven't considered yet. Emotional pain can be far worse than a damn cluster attack, but, it can sometimes throw the brain out of whack (clinical depression caused by a chemical imbalance), which can make it lie to us about the proper course of action to take to alleviate the condition. Nobody can say anything which will take away your pain, but it might help a bit to talk to a *real* person who has had some experience with this sort of thing. There are suicide hotlines all over the US (if that's where you are). If there's not one listed in your local phone book, do a web search for "suicide hotline." It could give some relief just to talk about it to someone. You are communicating with us weirdo clusterheads about this, so why not take it one step further and communicate with someone who knows a little more about how to deal with it. Meanwhile, I really wish you would elaborate a bit further on your condition. It may be a little off topic for this board, but some of us have seriously considered suicide from time to time.
