Nice.
I don't know why I am still attracted to this thread. (Of course I do). Religion and politics are the two subjects that are said to be best avoided. I can't help myself. No self-control, I guess.
I think a discussion about the role religion and/or spirituality plays in our lives can be important. This is especially true with respect to the difficult journey that affective disorders force us to travel - and it can be a long one. I know that the belief in a higher power has helped many people hold-on. Suicide is far too common an outcome. This is tragic.
What helps *you* get through it?
What helps *you* hold-on?We all know that these questions will be answered in many different ways reflecting many different belief systems. Instead of shooting holes in a perhaps fragile frame that keeps someone alive, maybe we can help support the structure with caring and sharing.
