My ex wife left me and took my 1 yr old daughter with her.
I didn't see my little girl for 4 months.
I thought often about ending it all, but I knew a girl who had suicided on the 5th anniversary of her mother's suicide.
I didn't want to take the chance that she gets older, goes through a rough trot and thinks it was ok for dad so she'll do it too.
Second loneliest time was when I was in Adelaide and my girlfriend left me over the phone, so I went out drinking, had my wallet stolen and all I had left was a bus ticket to Perth.
River flooded halfway there, so the trip took 42 hrs and I was starving when I got there.
Slept in some toilets to keep out of the rain, ate food out of bins, hitched a ride to donnybrook to get some fruit picking work, found an abandoned house with half the roof missing, found some work picking apples, found out my dad was dying of cancer, went out drinking and got my faced kicked in by a Maori.
I stumbled home and a big storm came through that took a bit more roof off, but I barely noticed it, sitting in the corner, crying and so very lonely.
