You've decided to do it. Life is impossible. Suicide is your way out. Fine--but before you kill yourself consider these facts: Suicide is not usually successful. You think you know a guaranteed way? Ask the 25-year-old who tried to electrocute himself. He lived. But, both his arms are gone. What about jumping? Ask John. He used to be intelligent , with an engaging sense of humor. That was before he leapt from a building. Now, he's brain- damaged and will always need care. He staggers and has seizures. He lives in a fog. But, worst of all, he KNOWS he used to be normal. What about pills? Ask the 12-year-old with extensive liver damage from an overdose. Have you ever seen anyone die of liver damage? You turn yellow. It's a hard way to go. What about a gun? Ask the 24-year-old who shot himself in the head. Now he drags one leg, has a useless arm and has no vision or hearing on one side. He lived through his "foolproof" suicide. You might too. But... Who will clean your blood off the carpet or scrape your brains from the ceiling? Commercial cleaning companies may refuse that job- -but SOMEONE has to do it. Who will have to cut you down from where you hung yourself or identify your bloated body after you've drowned? Your father? Your mother? Your wife? Your son? The carefully worded "loving" suicide note is of no help. Those who loved you will NEVER completely recover. They'll feel regret and an unending pain. Suicide is contagious. Look around your family. Look closely at the 4 year old playing with his cars on the rug. Kill yourself tonight, and he may do it ten years from now. You DO have other choices. There are people who can help you through this crisis. Call a hotline. Call a friend. Call your minister or priest. Call a doctor or hospital. Call the police. They will tell you that there's hope. Maybe you'll find it in the mail tomorrow. Or in a phone call this weekend. But what you're seeking could be just a minute, a month, or a day away. You say you don't want to be stopped? Still want to do it? Well, then, I may see you in the psychiatric ward later. And we'll work with whatever you have left. scary, isn't it? it'll make you think twice.. but then again, i don't know. xx jena. |

vibrantwallflower | 10-05-03 4:38pm suicide is the most selfish thing anyone can do |
| quinkle | Re:, 10-06-03 9:04pm Suicide is NOT selfish, those who KNOW what it feels like to be nothing have nothing, and think nothing matters have an overwhelming melancholy wash over them ,as the tears fall you wonder why am i alive? why am i here? you cannot think of anything, so you think of a way away from all this pain, at least if you die you will be happy. away from unbearable pain. NEVER EVER tell somebody there is nothing wrong with them if they say or act like there is, you will only push it farther. and acting like they would be stupid to kill themselves will MAKE them be certain they are gone, not left ill or mentally retarded. ahhh the solace takes over, happiness is found every now and then within my crumpled soul, it is just beginning to open again, so proud yes , i almost died 3 weeeks ago, what stopped, i'll never know. |
