(nb: the title adds credibility don't u think?)

Hi,
my name is rhys and i'm dead to the world.
i've been like this for over 3yrs now, and i'm here tonight to get help.
my friends pushed me along to this meeting, but i'm really glad i came.
i hope we can work on this together.
i've already given up the will to live and am hoping that things can only get worse.
*cough*
i'm going to sit down now, thanx for your time.
