Hey. How’s everybody doing? I have a question: Does anyone know how many people who have posted on this board have actually committed suicide? Just wondering…
crying: Not too bad, actually, now that Christmas is virtually over. Man, do I hate Christmas. In fact, Christmas is what inspired me to even come on this blog to begin with! It makes me feel so darn inadequate! Don’t visit (or want to) my family, don’t want to cook, don’t know what to get people for presents and when I do, I am sure it’s wrong. Bought my husband sweaters, I’m sure he hates them all… whatever. It’s done. I’ll give him the receipts. Did I mention I hate Christmas?
I collect vintage stuff, including lots of Xmas stuff. Stuff was certainly made better and it seems like life was better, but after watching Mad Men, I realize people were just as miserable, they just didn’t have as many humane tools to deal with it. Instead of Prozac and Paxil and Wellbuterin, they used shock treatment and frontal lobotomies.
It would be hard to determine, ……. people just stop posting so does that mean they killed themselves ?
I personally have set it up with a friend that if he gets word that I’m dead, he agreed to sign in and post that I’m gone. Then that post would only be one day, so if people which know my screename aren’t online that day they still wouldn’t know.
There is know way to know, yet I think many which come here, it’s kind of like cutting for cutters, …………. its a way to relieve the pressure by writing it out.
I think many see they aren’t alone then accept that they can get help.
It seems, and I could be completely wrong, that this blog is a safe place to explore suicide as an option, but few people on here actually carry it out. And, perhaps, learning that one is not alone in his thoughts of suicide by interacting with other posters is partly responsible for a shift in feeling.
I haven’t really listened to the Walkabouts that much. She was guest singing on a Tindersticks song, and I was a Tindersticks fan for a time. I grew into them out of the indie and twee scene, which I listened to in my teens and 20s. lol, I wonder what you’d make of twee pop. Here are some brooding Orchids for ya:
First xmas without anyone. I lost everything in oct due to my ptsd. now I just want to overcome my fear of suicide and end this loser life. I have been bed ridden with depression now for 3 months. I want to catch the bus. I am thinking of hanging with sleeping pills
I have both.

@hbmom Christmas used to be amazing…but that was long before I was born

I always wonder the same thing.
