I'm calling the PD.
Edit: I'm gathering that someone else has already reached out to them; which I figured someone probably would. I found a possible address for him. Hope he'll be ok.

Imagine you’re standing in the middle of a scorched forest, nothing but ash and charred trees all around you. It seems impossible that anything green could ever grow here again. Giving up would be the easiest option—why bother hoping for life to return to such a wasteland? But then you notice a small, stubborn sapling, somehow untouched by the flames, still reaching for the sun. You could walk away, sure, thinking it’s pointless to protect just one tree in such a bleak place. But if you nurture it, that sapling might survive, grow, and slowly bring life back to the forest, one leaf at a time.

Sometimes, life feels like that burned forest—a place of loss that seems to have nothing left to offer. But holding on, even when things seem hopeless, can be the first step toward change. Sticking around might feel hard, but it’s the only way to see life slowly return from the ashes.

It doesn't feel like the right thing but I'm still here.

I'm currently talking with a therapist who is at my house as I type this. She advised me to delete the post (She has a copy)which I have.

To anyone else please do not make any further calls to the local PD. I have spoken with them, I'll be getting a daily call from said therapist and weekly visits.

I appreciate the concern everyone has shown, combined with a 3 hour call with a life long friend has made me rethink some things.

I owe it to some wonderful people who I erroneously thought would not miss me that I can at least try.

Thank FSM!

The bravest thing you can do is face the problem.

This whole scenario is a nightmare, but we need to keep fighting.

And we need everyone in the fight.

Be well.

Be safe
