I have done all I know to do and hope at this point that he is alright. He called me and it makes me feel very helpless because there is nothing I can do if he wont let me or any of us for that matter. I do feel better that he has actually spoken with his parents, he insisted to me that he has not and will not but if he has then that is great news to hear.

Rest Easy....  Let the professionals now take over.  All of you have done a great job in a medium of communications that is not always conducive of quick response time...  Say a prayer or go take a walk...  Dan was reaching out in his post...  I don't think its over, no not yet....

I'm not much the prayer type but will have him in my thoughts. I'm still hoping he'll come to Montreal though as he really needs to get out of Jackson for a little while, see new faces and who knows ? It might help him more than we think.

  I just want to tell you I am glad you are ok.  That is all that matters...  You can be angry and say you don't know me from flip...  if I can be a stranger that can help then so be it.   I may need help from a stranger myself one day..

While I was out Dan's father left me a message. Dan had to be put in the hospital this evening. He said Dan was okay and that he was on his way back to the hospital. I won't bother his family this evening but will call in the morning to check on Dan. I am a little shaken up by all of this...I was afraid to listen to the message when I saw Dan's number on my phone. I hope Dan can get the help he so desperately needs. I know Dan and his parents could use your thoughts and prayers.

Sadly,
Hal

Dear Dan....

When we talk about family we talk about those who care for us through life's up's and down's.  As you can see, you were caught on the down side by love.   Please know that you mean a great deal to those who know you, and those who know of you.   I would hope you would reach out and ask for what you need - it will be supplied.  There is no reason to think you are in this by yourself, and if you do, just look up......  Our journey together is one sure way of getting through and managing the next set of hurdles, but you know that, you always did.  It just might have slipped your mind today...   Please rest well and know that we are thinking - praying - and hoping your soon return to us.

Love

I wanted to add my prayers for Dan and his family tonight. I hope that you are able to find help and get well. You have a great bunch of friends/family/support here and a very lucky man.

I'm new to this forum and I was amazed and in awe over the amount of love and support shown here tonight for Dan. I'm glad I found you all.

Many hugs to everyone.

This is such a relief to hear that Dan is safely off the street and is hopefully getting the care he needs. This got the best of me and I just had to go for a long walk to calm my own nerves. I have been in Dan's shoes before, as some of you have as well, but I never realized until tonight the fear it can bring upon others that care when this kind of thing happens. I also can appreciate the professionals that are trained to handle crisis like this.

You told me yesterday afternoon that you needed me.
I told you I needed you.

You said you needed to talk about many issues in Montreal and we will.

Magda had no way out.
You have your family here and I have been overwhelmed by the immense rescue action.
This is never seen on here and it shows that many of us have been in your shoes.

Rest, calm down and get ready for Montreal.

What would I do with all the hugs I saved for you???

Dan,

I can't tell you how relieved I am this morning to find that you are safe in hospital. I wasn't posting last night, but was following this thread all the same and I even dreamt about this situation overnight. The dream details are hazy, but it involved someone from our forum family being in great peril and being helped and carried through with the forum's love. I'm glad my dream was true.

Hang in there mate!

Hugs,
Ann

I watched this thread in horror lastnight, at the same time, I was in awe of everyone that was trying to help. This is a F***ing wonderful family!

Dan, please know you will remain in my thoughts, you will get through this. The love for you here is immense...I am glad that you reached out for help lastnight.
Rest up and feel better, my friend. There are many people looking forward to seeing you in Montreal.

I'd also like to extend a very warm and sincere note of appreciation and amazement to daschund (Hal) --

Hal, it sounds as if you were the one who got Dan the physical help he so desperately needed, or at least made sure of it.  You used all resources available to you, contacted the moderators, and have kept the Forums members abreast of Dan's situation.

As far as I'm concerned, you are the hero of the day.  Watching you handle this with such concern -- and calm -- has been incredibily reaffirming (at least for me) and speaks to the value of these Forums and what people such as yourself bring to them.  While we are fortunate to have wonderful members like Dan in the Forums, we are truly blessed with members such as yourself.  The long and short of it is that you helped in saving a valuable and vital life -- and this is not the kind of Forums gift that should ever go unspoken.

With love, admiration, and respect,

Tim

Hal,

I'd also like to thank you personally for what you did last night. Although we also talked about this briefly via PM, I wanted to make my appreciation public.

I'd also like to thank everyone who offered prayers, help and support. I know there were many more of you reading this thread but not responding and the care and concern could actually be felt in the air regardless. Times like these show just how much we really do care about each other and that is priceless.

This family rocks and I'm privileged to know you guys.

Good morning family and friends. I hated going to sleep last night and I'm in tears reading this today. I was overwhelmed by the fear of the unknown. I'm relieved to know Dan is getting the help he needs and I'm in awestruck by the love here. I've been in Dan's shoes before and have made similar attempts twice. One time I took myself to the hospital and the other time I guess I was lucky. Reading this thread last night really hit me hard because I never realized just how many people are effected and I hope if I ever reach that low point again that I can remember this thread and remember Dan.

Thank you Hal - Thank you Everyone

Wednesday June 7, 2006 - 02:05am (MDT)

This is What I Was Feeling When I Decided .... You Are Not Alone Friend ... I Am Here And You Are Here Too ... There Is A Reason ???  I Do Understand And Am Happy That You Are Here

Farewell

My computer doesn’t run, just like the rest of my sorry assed sick life, loss of no one, loved by less, betrayed by all, or should I say anyone that really should matter to me.

I don’t want it anymore; I hate my life, my being, my nothingness. God forgive them, for they know not what they do. I didn’t deserve this, I always tried, it’s just never good enough, hopeless, despair, loneliness, desperate, deserted, no where to turn when I need help. I’ve been screaming over and over, not a soul listens.

I think that I am better off dead, so I can’t feel this never ending pain and anguish that haunts my heart.

Your embarrassment and shame will soon be over, you’ll regret the pain and sorrow that you made me go through and miss me when I’m gone. Too little, too late, you’ll have to make amends to your maker.
I’ve fought and won for everything I stood for … true and trustworthy and know in my heart I did my best. Who do you think you are to every judge my life?

You have lied to me . . . the truth no matter how bad would have shown me that you knew I was unconditional.

You have cheated when you should have understood that winning wasn’t what I wanted, just having you as my partner was all that was important.

You have stolen from me you should have known anything I had and more was yours for the asking. My greatest pleasure would have been to share anything with you.

You have betrayed me . . . I have always been loyal and there for you!

You have discredited me, bad mouthed, divulged my personal affairs . . . have I not proudly boast to anyone listening about all your gifts, I would smite those who ever said anything bad about you and protect you with my life.

Have you ever loved someone so much that you would give your life to save theirs? I have and would without the asking.

Have I ever made a promise or commitment that I haven’t followed through on? Whether it was to be there for you, or swallowing 30 Seroquels, or slicing my wrists just because you were acting like a drama queen.

Have I not stood in front of your attacker, taken a gun to the head of your foe, made amends for your follies?

Haven’t I taken the food from my mouth to feed you, the clothes off my back to dress you?

Have I ever asked or expected anything from anyone of you? Oh yes three times in my life and three times you’ve turn away.

You’ve all been down and out at one time or another, yet who was there without question? Without any thoughts of payback or what’s in it for me.  That’s not what any of you did only when it was in your best interest in your own timing.

I don’t expect accolades just hope that you all reflect on your deeds and perhaps show someone more compassion than you did to me! 

Do you ever think I needed you? Do you ever think I needed your support or encouragement?

Can you think of just one instance where you thought about me before yourselves?

Did you ever take the time to know who and what I was about? I doubt it but you all can be assured that I had the privilege to know you all very well. I’m certain that each one of you knew that, seemingly so as each and every one of you always turned up on my doorstep, unsolicited I might add. 

All of you without exception needed me more than I needed you and I am truly blessed!

When I'm Gone Maybe someone might look at my Web Site you may get to know me and what I was all about.

We’ll what more can I say except that I love you all more than life it’s self.

Good Bye and I do believe that my rewards will be in Heaven, as they sure the hell weren’t here on Earth!




This isn't the first time I've tried to do this. Slashing wirst, cuttoing deep into my skin with a sharp serated hunting kife. Hell, I've even put the my postil in my mouth before only for it to be taken away from me.

Now it's a chance to let the meds do thermagic. What has been done is done there is no going back now. I feel the medications starting to work.

I just chewed 24 2MG lorazepam, 30 25mg Amitriptyline & 10 25mg seroquel. All chased down with a pint of good old standby Absolute vodka. I hope I get the result I'm looking for.

CApronda,

I am not quite sure I understand this response. But, it feels wrong and inappropriate for you to use this thread for your own purpose. If I am missing something I apologize.

I must agree. I found myself a little confused by this post as well. I am unable to distinguish whether this is an empathetic post, or a me too outreach.

cApronda,

Perhaps your concerns would go well in a separate thread. If we can help you, we will. What's happened to Dan is very distressing to us and I don't think it appropriate for you to tack your issues onto this thread.

Have at least a modicum of respect.

CApronda,

If you wish, I could split your post out into its own thread. Let me know.

Truly an amazing family, this!

I was completely unaware of this event, until just this moment. What a remarkable response to one of our own in need!!

Good job, everyone.

Dan, I am sending you the strongest hopes for recovery from this intense depression. Honey, this out-pouring of love and support for you has just got to make you feel the value you have in this world.

Please, feel better, and soon.

With love, love, love,

Zephyr :-*

I know precious few of you and I am in tears.  A family has been bonded for me, friends forged through challenges and love.  I doubt I'll forget this day or outpouring of raw, unconditional love for the rest of my life.

(not feeling wierd at all saying this)
I love all of you.

in a pretty and well-preserved body, but, rather to skid in broadside,
thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming--WOW! WHAT A
RIDE!!!
