Folks, you don't know me. You know nothing of my background or history. A dear friend of mine was in a crisis last night and I had to spend the entire night talking her out of killing herself. It is okay. This morning she relented and went voluntarily to the hospital to get help. But, I am an emotional wreck. I'm sharing this because, anonymously, I can speak from the heart and nobody has to know a damn thing. At one point in my life, I had issues with screwed up brain chemicals. I was very much suicidal. 5 unsuccessful attempts. Multiple involuntary commitments to mental hospitals. The old saying, "Takes one to know one" ? Well I could see where she was headed. I could see that she was off her meds, and I could see that she was about to attempt suicide. I spent all of last night and part of this morning talking her out of it. It is not the answer. Her little boy needs her. It is just screwed up brain chemicals. There is nothing to be ashamed about here. She's not a weak person. She's not a bad person. She just needs hel Bottom line. She went off to the hospital this morning and I came home to crash. I'm so emotionally drained and upset that I still can't rest despite the exhaustion. Please, my friends. Please, don't think less of a person you percieve has mental issues. They can't help it. Step in when you can. Their very life may depend on you. Friends, killing yourself is not The. answer. Brain chemicals cause you to feel this way. PLease don't consider this as an option. Message me and we'll talk. Life is precious. Don't let it go. Talk to me. Unconditionally, love only, no judgment.. Talk to me first. Love to all. 'Nuff said.
Suicide does not promise that things will not get worse. It will, however, guarantee than things will never get better.
If she he has the Heart of the Tiger and the Soul of a God she will survive or get fucked up lol. Lets be real here. We all know what really goes in those places.
