I am 66 years old and I was put on Cymbalta for cervical neck pain and depression due a couple of other health challenges. My emotions became flat and I was completely disinterested in the normal things I take joy in. I wanted to stop taking it, but my husband seemed to think flat and not interested in life was better than the emotional roller coaster that my health issues were causing me. I had been having suicidal thoughts from it. We live on a river and I imagined my self going out into the water (gators and all) and just letting myself sink into the water. I also pondered other ways of ending my life. One night we had an argument and that night I told him if he wanted to be away from me that I would go to a hotel. He wanted me to wait until the next day. I plotted my suicide through the whole night. I packed a few things the next morning and I had every intention of driving off and overdose at the hotel. I sent a suicide message to my husband blocked his number and turned off location services. I forgot about my iPad and the sheriff found me. Honestly, I told them they would have to Baker Act me because I knew I would carry it out. It was a rough time for me. There were so many experiences that I never would have thought I would go through in my life.

Enjoy the Forest Responsibly: Hammock Hanging Tips

11 hours ago

"Hammock Hang Time Taking it easy in a hammock is a great way to enjoy the forest. But it's important to choose your trees carefully and use proper hanging techniques to avoid harming them. Choose your trees well. Select trees that are at least 12 inches in diameter. This will help ensure the trees are strong enough to support your weight and won't be damaged by the hammock straps. Use wide straps. Straps should be at least 2 inches wide to distribute the weight evenly and prevent them from cutting into the bark. Avoid using rope or cord, which can girdle the tree and eventually kill it. Hang your hammock responsibly. Don't hang your hammock too tightly, as this can put stress on the trees. Make sure the straps are not rubbing against the bark, and adjust them as needed. Give trees a break by moving your hammock every few days. Take your straps with you. When you leave, be sure to take your straps with you. This will prevent them from becoming entangled in the trees or left behind as litter."
