Over the past week, I have sustained a bit of a setback. Family
problems have robbed me of what little hope I had built up and threw me
in that dark place that I know all to well. I have come dangerously
close to the fourth serious suicide attempt of my life and am currently
living on pure determination. Determination that the pain WILL subside
and I can go to sleep without waking up screaming. 

	Why am I telling you guys this? Because as I was preparing for my
"departure" I dumped most of my files and all of my mail. Now, I'm
trying to rebuild, fill in the hollows of my shell and reach back out to
the only people I feel I can ever truley trust. Unfortunately, I've lost
a lot of mail that I meant to reply to. This DOESN'T mean I meant to
ignore you, it just meant I was very lost and now I don't have the
letters to find my way back.

	Anyone who sent me an E-mail and hasn't gotten a reply over the past
week, please resend. You guys should know by now that I ALWAYS reply,
you being my lifeline. Please, don't be offended and I promise to
respond to everything sent to me. You don't have to send Fics as I'll
probably catch up sooner or later. Anyone who was looking forward to C&C
from me, just alert me that your fic is out there and I shall do
everything in my power to find it!

(But I'm feeling MUCH better now... Well... not quite but I DO think the
(demons are sleeping again)
