I just felt a need to respond to the comment about suicide hotlines. I called one recently and, as the jokes go, I was put on hold. When someone finally answered, she sounded irritated that my emotion-choked words were hard to understand. When she reponded, it sounded like she was reading from a script that bored her. Oh well, maybe she was having a bad day too. This is not meant to say that hotlines aren't potentially a good resource but I guess those of us "at-risk" need to have multiple resources we can contact when the need arises.
