Phil -  I feel that I have tried to answer this in the articles http://dreamhawk.com/dream-encyclopedia/integration-meeting-oneself/ - http://dreamhawk.com/approaches-to-being/martial-art-of-the-mind/ - http://dreamhawk.com/approaches-to-being/questions-2/#Victim

But after struggling with my own desire for suicide, depression and self negation, these are the best I can come up with. I know that are not comforting.

Hi Philsmiths,  I also battled depression for the greater part of my life.  I think depression and anxiety were mainly due to feelings of alienation.  I was the black sheep of the family because I had a tendency to say what we weren't supposed to notice.  Every family and community needs a scapegoat to project all their negativity onto.   

The less aware we are of our own negative traits, the more we hurt others.  There's a lot of hurt in the world.  Humans thrive when we cooperate and are happy. 

Some practical advice that helped me is to accept the fact that no one is going to save me and to take care of myself, eat well, and be kind to myself.
