    Please, Grandy, we are all scared at the moment.
    Stop this wanting to die, when so many are fighting for their lives.

    Yes, but unfortunately, we have Boris No Balls, running the country, he's too spineless to put everything into lockdown for fear of losing voters, and then we've got the idiots, we've old people, with their, 'Hitler never stopped me doing what I wanted' mentality, and the younger fool's who think it's their right to do as they want to.

    Well if this continues, they will spoil the advice and Marshall Law will be in place.

    I think they may mean that you need a distraction in your life.

    Grandy, don't even go there mate, I once sat between a canal and a railway line, I'd had enough, luckily I didn't do it! Suicide is a funny thing, some say it's the cowards way out, others say it takes a lot of guts.
    Think of it this way, NOBODY, knows if there is another side, or if there is, then what is on the other side, you think you've problems now, well what if there is another side, and what if suicide is considered the worst crime imaginable, you'd really be in lumber then.
    Think positive thoughts and stay strong, YOU CAN GET THROUGH THIS!

  10. If I had a dream that I was on top of a skyscraper, I would inevitably fall off.

    I am continiously having dreams that I go up in high buildings. I go down from height but cannot jump each time. I am scared like shit looking down from height. Even in my dreams.
     
  14. When I have dreams like that, the building starts tipping or something. It’s like I’m compelled to fall.

    I’ve given up trying not to fall, actually, and now I pretty much jump, even though I have a fear of heights. It’s kind of fun.

    That is flight or flight.
    That cannot happen.

  19. Fear is also about something inside of you. I have irrational fears, because something inside of me compelled me to take that leap to certain death. I’m motivated to go over the edge, to find out. So I can’t actually go to the top of a tall building. There is a deep scream inside of me that yearns for the freedom that may be death.

    Agree, fear is what causes the flight or fight reaction, someone jumps out on you with a knife, fear then causes you to either fight or run, the flight or fight reaction.
    Mind you, it's getting silly, my mates son is doing MMA (mixed martial arts) and the instructor was telling them that if you do a karate chop on the wrist holding the knife, the attacker will drop it. The young lad wanted to demonstrate this to his dad and asked me to pretend to be holding a knife and attack him, I did, he tried his karate chop and the result was I 'stabbed' him, about 6 times in the chest, luckily for him we were only play acting, as I said to him afterwards, some of us know how to use a knife.
    I thought it was really dangerous of this instructor to tell people that disarming a knifeman is easy, much safer to just run like hell!
