I gave up a long time ago... and then I got married. He was the one who saved me from ending things back then. He has no idea about this, mind you. But, I had already attempted suicide three times before we met and I was on the way to a fourth attempt when we started dating. But, he was so young and naive. I even tried to warn him before I answered his proposal.

"You are making a HUGE mistake!"

I am going to make an appointment shortly. Just this will probably set us back financially for months. I am not sure if my 'insurance' (if you can call it that) will cover such a thing.

Older people (with the exception of very rich ones) are doomed. We might as well start with 'Logan's Run' type shit now.
