I’m an occaissional fencer who understands being driven by revenge. I like Inigo Montoya not only for his name, but for what I’ve seen of him.
I also know a thing or two about depression and about being hit by what feels like a shattering blow. Look, Inigo, and anyone else out there who’s feeling overwhelmed or like one too many things has hit you, we do have a resource, Cecil’s Place, an on-line support group for depressed Dopers. It’s not board sanctioned, but it is made up of SDMBers and is anonymous. I’ve been hanging out there since it opened, and the people there are the best. It’s been rather quiet of late, a good thing, I hope, but I’ve been amazed at how well people there will come through when someone needs them. I know they’ve done a lot for me.
Inigo, come on back when you’re up to it. Remember that at least some of us (me, for instance) are not only unaware of the circumstances, but clueless enough in general that we just like ya for who you are.
If it helps, I don’t even know what your username means. I always call you Indigo Montana in my head. Can’t get a cleaner slate that THAT, my friend.
