>>155 Exactly!
Having a goal is the single most important thing one can do to stave off depression.
It's really the only thing you can do. EVERYONE has a goal. If they don't, they become depressed and eventually suicide.

Keep in mind:
Only when you feel you have no control over your situation, does the urge to commit suicide overtake you.
It will seem to be the one thing you can do to take control over your life. It is logical.
Thus! to avoid committing suicide, give yourself control over your life in another way.
