This has actually been a couple of the weeks in the making but felt I had to post this. No matter how much I thought about it, I always just felt that it wasn't good enough so I'm just going to write how I'm feeling and hope you will be able to fully get it.
Thank you. Thank you so much for having the Suicide Hotline drive during March and April. Hearing your promo was such a monumental moment I just wanted to thank you until I turned blue in the face. Just thank you. While I, myself have never used the hotline nor actually made a full attempt on my life... I have thought about it all too often and deeply touched to of been able to hear your campaign.
To explain, I have been suffering from depression and suicidal thoughts for far too many years than I would like to admit. Everyday I live with the feeling of being consumed by depression and my thoughts. Everyday I live with the intense feeling of being completely and absolutely alone in the world. I know the feeling is ridiculous, I'm not alone and frankly couldn't be farther away from the truth. However, I'm plagued by this and unable to shake it.
Two weeks ago, Sunday around 7, I went out for my usual walk. I recently started listening to alot of podcasts, particularly comic book podcasts and was beginning a episode of my latest series, Just One of the Guys: A Green Lantern Podcast. I wasn't very far when I first heard your promo about the Hotline Drive. At that moment, I stopped in my tracks and began to cry. Perfectly, earlier in that day, I happened to of been online too looking at various self-help books in the hopes of finding a good one to help conquer my depression and suicidal thoughts. It was perfect timing.
Over the last couple of weeks, I have gone back time and time again trying to figure out how I can appropriately convey my happiness and relief that the two of you did something like this. I don't listen to many podcasts and this is the first time I had ever heard something like this and it means so much. At my horrible factory job, I stand there rethinking and rethinking about what I want to say. But it is never enough. I've come to the conclusion that text is a horrible medium, the sad fact is I will never truly be able to convey how thankful I am. I will never be able to thank you enough. The quickest thought back to your promo and what I want to say if I could just brings me to tears every time.
I want to thank you for being there for me. I had never heard of you before the podcast promo but I feel so relieved to know that you are out there trying to spread the word, spread hope. As I said, I have never used the hotline before but after hearing you I finally feel the courage to conquer my fears and call them next when I'm in need. I always tried dodging the hotline but I'm proud that now I feel stronger and unafraid too. And it's all thanks to you.
Thank you thank you thank you. For this one sad soul you have really helped and there is just no way I can stop thanking you for it. What you did was a incredible service. I don't know how successful it was (didn't sound too positive in one earlier release I listened to today) but that doesn't matter. It's a horrible shame but I am just glad I was able to hear your message and right now that's all that matters. Thank you for spreading a little more light into my life when I really needed it. The two of you are truly saints and I'll never forget this.
