There is an almost entirely invisible world of people who are alive but suffering to the degree that a normal life just isn't possible. It's completely hidden unless you or a loved one crosses over the line into that world. If you do find yourself on the other side of that line, it's an extremely dark place to be, but even more so because of the loneliness. Almost no one back in the "normal world" is willing or able talk about the reality of a situation where the scales have tipped and life honestly might no longer worth living.
