There is some evidence that people who experience suicidal ideation
may, in general, have more 'damaged' seretonin receptors than those that
don't (J Mann, Neurobiology of suicide). Assuming the science on this is
valid it's also true that people don't act on these urges. This 'layer'
is the psychosocial aspect of mental illness. It's what therapists and
other mental health professionals work on rather than pumping people
full of drugs.

About Me
- we
- We It comes in part from an appreciation that no one can truly sign their own work. Everything is many influences coming together to the one moment where a work exists. The other is a begrudging acceptance that my work was never my own. There is another consciousness or non-corporeal entity that helps and harms me in everything I do. I am not I because of this force or entity. I am "we"
