Comment on Sometimes a suicide needs a tribute – Updated by Suchi Chatterjee

I grew up with Valerie in Jamaica. I met her when she was three years old, I was nine. I was a very young nine and Valerie became one of my dearest friends. I had learning difficulties, didn't make friends easily and was often ill. Valerie was a wonderful friend, we watched Sesame Street together, played with dolls together and for a few years had what seemed to be an idyllic life. But Valerie's parents marriage broke up, she returned to the US with her mom and I returned to the UK with my parents. I didn't know about Valerie's bi-polar until many years later. She didn't know that I suffered with an eating disorder, depression and other ailments. I guess we hid a lot of things from each other but despite time and distance I loved Valerie like the little sister I never had. When I was told she was gone I was stunned. When I was told how she had died, I wept. My beautiful, lovely Valerie, who wanted to marry my little brother Ranjit, who shared her Raggedy Anne dolls with me and never bothered that I was so much older than her and a lot less wise. Nearly six years on since she died I still think of her and I wish I could have done something to make a difference but then I suspect I am not alone in this wish. Miss you lots dear, dear friend.

Congrats on the blog at Healthy Place! This is a great post, I hid for a very long time, but when I finally did put myself out there, I found someone terrific. Honesty about my disorder was the key.

[...] Of course, I had an amazing time at the party with fun people. I did my share of making jokes and dancing, which are two of my favorite things in the world because I can enjoy myself while encouraging fun in others. I also met a guy that I’d like to date. Yes, he’s straight. Which brings me to what I’ve learned during my most recent involuntary dating hiatus. [...]

good to see you writing again, and for $$, even better. Increased social life in the city can be costly, but it is good to get a cab.
