So what are you guys up to today?

                                   I'm hanging on the couch watching tv.
                                     I'm hanging by the pool reading a book.
                                  I'm hanging in the city with my friends.
                                    I'm hanging in the bathroom.

Lifeless eyes, like a doll's eyes

                          Dr. Ratchet, I really need your help.
                                Well, how may I help you?
                        I'm depressed... anxious... I don't sleep well anymore.
                                 I see.  Why do you think that is?
                    I don't know... maybe because my wife committed suicide?
                                I see.  Was she taking antidepressants?
                                          Yeah, plenty.
                                Well, tell me which ones helped her the most.
                                         ... Why?
                                   So we can get you started on that.
                                And you want something for anxiety too, right?

You need it more than I do

                 You know man, you need to take your mind off of suicide.
                                 Really?  Maybe you're right.
                                  Let's go to a baseball game.
                                           Okay...
                  [After the game]
            Wow!  Did you see that suicide squeeze where they scored the winning run?
                          It's so rare to see a good suicide executed flawlessly like that.
                                       Hmm
                    Hey man, you should take your mind off suicide by exercising more.
                                     Really?
                                Yeah, come to my calisthenics class this afternoon.
                                Today we're doing squat thrusts and suicides.
                                       Umm..
                         Hey man, have a drink to help you take your mind off things.
                                      You think?
                      Sure.  What'll you have?   Bourbon, Scotch, Gin, Vodka, Vermouth?
                            Or I can just pour them all together and make a suicide.
                                      Oh, no thanks.
Yeah, I know, it's not an easy subject to get out of your head.  Let's watch the news.
                                            Okay.
I'm so sick of this president.  If he gets reelected it'll just be suicide for the economy.

                 Oh... hello...
                             Are you always this excited to come to support group?
Hey, call it what you want man, a party's a party.  This is the only time I get out.  Get naked!
                  ???
                               So how'd you hear about this party anyway?
   Oh... my father blew his head off under the Christmas tree.
  Right on, right on.  I hear that.  Lots of networking going on here, that's for sure.  Fo shizz.
                             It's just so nice to get out of the house and unwind.  
                             Does this dress make me look like a beached whale?
                              Why are you wearing a dress, Sucky?  You're a dude.
                                        It was hers.
                               Oh, so you've been to this party before.
