> Yes. I have an agenda. I don't want anyone to kill themselves when they are in an altered state of consciousness. Drunk, depressed, or psychotic, these are all altered states within which it is nearly impossible to maintain good judgment. You area capable of good judgment, but not in your current state.

> I respect your right to autoeuthansia. However, I don't think now is the time. You have too many untried alternative treatments.

> My agenda is to not help you die nor help you live in pain. I would much rather that you live well.
>
> I wish I had guarantees for you. I don't. I want you to take a calculated risk and live to try more treatments. You have not tried nearly enough.

> First, though, if you do want to live for a day or a week or a month or more, you might as well do it in the absence of intolerable pain. Take Zyprexa. I can ALMOST guarantee that it will take away much of your pain and allow you to make better decisions. I am not saying that the decision to kill yourself has no psychosocial background. Maybe it can be justified at some point in the future, but not today.

> Choose to live WELL. Work for it. I know you have already worked hard. I'm asking that you make things easier on yourself by taking an anti-suicide drug like Zyprexa, rather than be haunted by an obsession with death. Zyprexa will take away the sense of urgency, anger, anxiety, and pain.

> Stop the pain. No longer allow your thinking to be influenced by the pain.

> I know you want out. Things for you suck. However, you are young and angry enough to live well despite your current thought style.

> I WANT YOU TO BEAT THE CRAP OUT OF ME. I don't mind.

> Tell me what I don't know about you. Tell me how I have made errors in judgment regarding you.

> Yell at me. Tell me how I don't understand. Educate me. Make me understand. I want to understand.

> Zyprexa will dramatically reduce your pain. Try it.
