hi all i have posted the following at the park place website. janet ------------------------------------------------------------ Posted by janet paterson on July 16, 19100 at 12:40:58: the future of this website ... i hope is not at risk. its listing has been deleted from the Open Directory Project and i don't know why. i don't want to cause any upset to paige's family or friends, but as i see it, suicide has to be talked about. hiding it [and the feelings leading up to it] in shame will only let it perpetuate itself. it is the fatal epidemic with no voice in the usa. which strikes me as doubly tragic, since it is primarily the result of clinical depression, which is curable. but which is undiagnosed in over two thirds of its victims. because of toxic shame about admitting to 'emotional problems' or a 'mental disorder'. i don't want to hear about any more parkies and suicide. do you? will we learn anything from paige's experience? http://www.geocities.com/janet313/ ------------------------------------------------------------ janet paterson 53 now / 41 dx pd / 37 onset pd / 44 dx cd / 43 onset cd tel: 613 256 8340 url: "http://www.geocities.com/janet313/" email: "[log in to unmask]" smail: PO Box 171 Almonte Ontario K0A 1A0 Canada
