Thoughts of Suicide

A large number of whom return with both physical and mental pain.  Many may become addicted to pain relievers as they find being comfortably numb a great solution to the worries or problems no one but they themselves truly know.  They face a loneliness of the world moving on with everyday life as they stand still trying to regain their position in society.  

Many other wise normal seeming people struggle day in and out to maintain a positive train of thought. They do so until becoming so tired and weak from the intense effort the pain becomes all consuming once again.

Those who they should commit suicide feel its left to them to find a remedy to this pain as if pulling a decaying tooth causing more intense discomfort as the days go by.  Removing themselves as if an object or source of pain is the one and only way it seems possible to finally bringing peace and quite. 

You've heard the expression, Put it out of it's misery, as related to a dying animal? A reader shared with me this is how it feels! What powerful information to learn from a person who experiences such pain they feel suicide is the humane option. ! understand these are chilling words and yet these are the very words spoken to me from someone thinking of this daily.

Have you felt like this?  Are you someone who just doesn't know where to turn or if relief is possible?

Many people do so as the rest of the world seems to go on as if everything is great and wonderful.  It is not the case as the depressed and suicidal turn more inward sinking further into depression. The hurt souls hope to fade away till there is no more pain.

Truthfully we all feel depressed at times as many of us wander what it would be like to die? It is to some degree natural to wonder about death as we all will one day die. But for this reason we tend to shrug off the idea of others actually killing themselves as something that will pass. What I've come to learn is people who do commit suicide think about it often and for long periods all throughout their lives. For those who do it, this is not just some fleeting moment, it's their reality!

Many people have thinking this very thought more and more often. This is so hard, to much, seems to be the norm for many of us.  When it seems we are at the end of our rope where do we turn? 

Who can help, more and more people are turning a def ear to suicide threats, threats, that’s such a poor choice of words.

Sadly it’s a big painful problem. My daughters are just thirteen and fifteenth,  three of their peers have been killed at the hands of their fathers, and in each case the father then took his own life.

Killing yourself is one thing but taking the life of an innocent child who has no choice in the matter is very sad and something we as a community to raise a red flag to.  If you feel there is a risk to a child please speak out, make it be known by as many people within your power.

We should all take heed because the great mounting shame many troubled souls face is quieting their thoughts or warnings about suicide.

It’s no longer common to hear people talk about it, they just quietly do it.The signs are there and instead of turning a def ear or blind eye to all the trouble souls around us we should step up and be more vigilant to help others who are stressed beyond their limits.

Have you been wondering if you could actually do it, kill yourself? Do you think there is no  help or way this pain you're feeling can end?  Have you talked to anyone about it?  Have you talked to someone who can be impartial and non judgmental?
