I know personally that this is NOT JUST a figure of speech. For me the

chills were SO BAD last August that, in retrospect, I am glad that I

did not have an opportunity to be tempted by tall bridges, buildings,

fast trains, etc. I even remember (I am embarrassed by this now)

telling the nurse (over the phone) that if they could not schedule me

for some kind of help fast that I would KILL MYSELF. Whew! This disease

can really mess with your mind. Sometimes it is hard to judge how

desperate you really are.
