Friday night I said goodbye to SP. after the recent stuff that went on, I lost patience on my suicide plan. I went upstairs, and then took a bunch of pills. The intention of the pills was not to kill me but to sedate me so I could suffocate myself. Didn’t work! So I went up and took more and than when I was heading back down stairs, my aunt cought me before I could use my Halloween bag. She said “come here let me look at you”. I came to her and said what? She was like “WHAT DID YOU TAKE? OMG YOU LOOK LIKE YOUR DYING YOUR EYES ARE DIALATED AND YOUR SKIN LOOKS LIKE YOUR MAWMAWS DID AT HOSPICE”. Then I tried for 15 mins to convince her I didn’t take nothing. She tried to set down in my room with me I said get out. She then found my Halloween bag. She started freaking out and rushed up stairs. I than went to hide in the back yard, which is pretty big and on a slope. I sat there, looking at the stars, smoking a cig and hoping that the meds might kill me or I can try again when I get in. The bag would have worked but the meds wouldn’t so I knew I was in deep shit!
THAN I saw heard police cars and than came lights shining down from all directions towards my back yard. I figured it was the cops. For a split second I was thinking about suicide by cop, but than thought – what if they shot me in the spine and paralyzed me? SOOO I gave myself up. They asked me what was wrong and I admitted thst I took s bunch of pills. Thanย they directed me up stairs to an ambulance. I figured since I the meds I took wouldn’t kill me and I was gonna live anyway, I might as well cooperate. They rushed me to the hospital and gave me an IV flush. They then sent me to a room on suicide watch at the ER – that means no shutting the curtains all the way and a bright light in there. Also it means people rushed in ever 30 mins to check on me.
They than put me in an isolation room after I was stabilized. I layer in the isolation room for hours until they decided to commit me. They said they would like it if I go voluntarily. So I did. I cooperated with everyone. I did find out one thing – everyone there liked me, I made em laugh and we had really intelligent conversations. Got 5 phone numbers and went to meetings. I was forced out of my comfort zone and adapted well. Me and this guy Mitchel are talking about going fishing after he’s released tomorrow.
I don’t know what the future holds for me, but I guess I’ll give this thing called life another chance. I still want to be a huge part in the right to choose campaign. I still believe it should be a personal choice.

Hey, welcome back.
Thank you so much
Hello,
Nice to see you here again. If you want to give life another chance, I’ll be here to support you. Whatever you choose to do, I’ll be here…
Yep, everyone should have the right to die.
I’m sorry about this experience… It sounds very scary. This is why i haven’t killed myself.
Glad you met some nice people there. Hope they will continue to be nice. You have your friends on SP as well if need be.
Thank you my friend. The entire ordeal of being in the hospital was pretty traumatic. Even though I made friends, I see you all as just as loving and supportive. I was pretty ashamed that I failed but I probably shouldn’t feel that way. Thank you so much for your support. I’ll be here to support you too. You all are my friends just as much as the people in the psyche ward was. In fact, it felt like I was in a room full of people from SP.
Welcome back, guy. We figured you wouldn’t be happy all cooped up in there, but it sounds like you might have actually enjoyed it. (bet you won’t admit that though!) I hope things are going to work out better for you from here on.
Well I kind of did enjoy the company. I was forced out of my comfort zone and meet people in similar situations. Like my SP friends, the friends in the psyche ward was loving, caring, and intelligent too. We all need our own Island.
Hi!! I’m happy to hear you’re okay. That failed attempt must of felt disappointing at first, but it seems that the psych ward somewhat helped. Maybe? Well of course everyone would like you, you’re one a kind!
You could become an activist ( I think that’s what they’re called..haha.) Speak for those who can’t and help change minds on this issue. You’re very intelligent and many can relate to you.
Best wishes ๐
Now that is a good idea (second paragraph)
Thank you so much! Yeah I was pretty pissed off at my Aunt for catching me in the act and calling 911 but that was only because I was so frustrated that I failed. After 2 days in the ward, I really felt at ease with everyone and felt connections to people. I was so afraid of judgment at first but they all loved me and I loved all of them.
And Ty so much for the complement. Your the same way. I’d love to become an activist for choice even though I’m willing to give life another try. The entire experience was traumatic at first, than therapeutic. I am glad I’m home
Welcome back, I’m glad to know you’re doing okay Windows. Best wishes!
Thank you. I hope your doing well too
I tried my hand at poetry for ya that night…. just for you.
There once was an American lad,
Though vodka was preferred
He drank whatever he had
Today there was beer
One, two three, four
On his way to bliss I hear
There once was an American lad.
Off he went to places far, I fear.
Not sure if welcome back is appropriate… so I’ll suffice things to say “hi”.
Thank you for the poem my friend. It was very sweet of ya. That night I truly thought I’d be dead but nope still here. And will probably be here for along time
Perhaps another chance – a new start?
Glad you are still among the living – and I know how difficult that is..
My hope for you is peace – and a relief from the depression that has been clouding your skies..
Thank you. I wish the same for you. I’m definatly gonna work on a new start. Maybe I was Incapable of even thinking like that before therapy. I was shocked on how much it helped. At first I felt like I was in a prison, in the end all I felt was love.
SP is “never the same” each time we lose a member whether by suicide or them moving on… Welcome back, wndozh8er.
It really isn’t. It’s like losing a family member or good friend. I hate seeing people go, but I will support their decisions. ๐
I’m glad you’re back and alive im sad you’re still in your current fram of mind but its nice to have one of SP’s most valued members back I really missed your comments on stuff
From one who lurks….
Welcome back, windozh8er. You were missed here, but we’re glad you’re back. ๐
Glad you’re feeling better about things now.
Glad you’re back, wndoz.
I’m glad you’re giving it a chance. WOW I’m such a hypocrite. Well, anyways I really hope you find happiness. I think you deserve it even tho I don’t really know you.. Stay well <3
