Last words for the night

Time to crash. Today has been a very strange day. Hearing the news of Aaron Swartz's suicide last night has affected me in ways that I didn't imagine would happen. I suppose primarily it brought back a whole heap of memories of my mum's suicide and finding her when I was young. I certainly have never understood people who say that depression doesn't exist as believe me it does...but life can change around tho there are times when you never think it will. Agree totally with Cory Doctorow over at BoingBoing that cognitive behaviour therapy can be a big help (for some). But there is help available out there if anyone is feeling suicidal. Here's a worldwide list of numbers that can help.
