And yes, ...Thank you so much for being here, Robyn! And yes, the silence must be broken, this can no longer be ignored or swept under the carpet.

Yes, I chaired our local Out of the Darkness (for Suicide Prevention) and also donating birthday funds to the cause in past years. Our upcoming annual event is next Saturday.<br /><br />I lost my brother to mental illness and suicide in the late 1980s. Back then, NOBODY talked. Thank goodness, we're breaking the silence. It takes courage. I've written a lot about suicide, mental illness, and my struggles with chronic depression.<br /><br />Anyway, my dear new friend, YOU AREN'T ALONE. I applaud your courage. Stay connected. It saved my emotional life and maybe even my physical being (time and again) - to reach out and be cared for by those who understand.<br /><br />Sorry for the ramblings.<br />All the best, and I look forward to getting to know each other.
