You are the very soul of compassion, Bill.
Call a suicide hotline, Fred. They will know what to do for you when you feel desperate. As someone who has gone through a suicide in the immediate family, I would not recommend it. You have no idea how devastating it would be for everyone around you. Depression causes you to think only about yourself, but what suicide does to the people left behind is unbelievably horrible. Don't put them through it, Fred. Call the pros.
