I've been reading a lot about people who feel that they have nothing to live for, and nothing that depends on them for love and affection.

I cannot begin to tell anyone how close i've come to killing myself from lack of any sort of romantic relationship... The term 'having your heart broken' is an understatment, that should sometimes be replaced with something like "Squished, Annihilated, dragged, and thrown into a furnace, or nucluar reactor, so see how long you can put up with it burning"

But what saved my life, and what keeps me from thinking about ending my own life are:

My Two Kittins, Roxy and Velma.

I adopted them when they were just being weened, I didn't work at that time, so I spent everyday and all day with them, taking care of them, and loving them, Because of that, they regard me as their 'mother' they cry when I step outside for a smoke, or go to work now.

I can't begin to tell anyone who hasn't experianced what i'm talking about, just how important it is to be able to love unconditionally.

If I ever think about killing myself, I just remember Roxy and Velma, I know that they love me, and that only I will be able to love them the way I do... The world isn't entirely cruel, but it tends to be. As long as i'm alive, they can depend on me, to take care of them, and to make sure they have 9 happy little feline lives.

I sound really fluffy right now, this isn't normally me, but I think it's important that everyone knows about the benefits of 'pet therepy' espically if you are un-able to work for a time.

Animals, friends and music are now what I realise are truly wonderful, and worth living for... And sex too, you'll definatly miss sex...

Oh yes, and about sexual side-effects, i'm on 60mg of celexa and 300mg of wellbutrin (twice a day) and I find that out of all the drug combinations, this seems to have the least # of side effects, both sexually, and overall. Has anyone else experianced this?
