It is all around me. First, with Bryan Glenn, a kid at my school, whose body I was just a few yards away from discovering and now a murder suicide at my fathers work. It’s all we’ve been talking about, every dinner and every Sunday breakfast. None of family know that every time they bring the subject up I cringe and quickly touch my scars. They always talk about suicide prevention, how you have to notice the signs that your child or friend shows, yet they don’t notice mine. I’m fooling them, just like the depressed drunk with a crazy wife and ended up shooting them both in the head. That man drank 12-15 beers each night and still came to work, telling people he was fine and saying he stopped drinking a long, long, time ago. Maybe the ghost of Bryan Glenn plagues me- before I was just a cutter, using a Swiss Army knife to free myself, but when they found him, I found myself graduating to a razor blade and thinking of slitting my wrists. When I do think of Bryan Glenn, all I can think of how a kid I never met, but walked the halls with, effected me in such a way.

We’re all here for you. We’ll be here to listen and we’ll try to take your pain away. You just have to make the first step and actually WANT help. Do you want us to help you? Because we’re willing to help 🙂
Of course. I want to stop thinking of slitting y wrists everyday, and how much better it would be for all of this shit to go away. I don’t want help, I need it.
Ima,
Then we’ll all help you. Talk to us 🙂 we will listen. Ask questions from us, and we’ll advise.
Now tell me, what do you want help most in right now?
