My Story

The thing with suicide, it’s not just “a break”. It’s not like you can reverse your decision once you’re dead.
Of course you should find other ways to deal with, or accept, your problems.
I speak from experience. I contemplate suicide everyday, and have for the past couple of decades.
Okay, maybe the past few decades……Depression kinda runs in my family.
And my family has been shrinking faster than anyone’s should. My little brother needed a “break”
when he was only 10 years old. He never had a girlfriend, never went to a prom. He will never experience the joy of loving a woman. … Or a man. ..
He’ll never have a job, best friends, have children and grandchildren. He’ll never go to Disney land…. You get the point. His “break” cost him everything- and greatly wounded or family. It’s 33 years later, and I am only now fully feeling the FULL effects of the PTSD.
Of course, the PTSD could have been triggered by the my mother “taking a break” a few years ago.
I thought I’d prepared myself over the years for the sting of her suicide. But I guess you never can prepare for the loss of someone you love so deeply.
Who was your best friend.
