Razors pain you; Rivers are damp; Acids stain you; And drugs cause cramp. Guns aren’t lawful; Nooses give; Gas smells awful; You might as well live.
Dorothy makes a fair few valid points I feel!
Still, I have, and still do at times, have those desolate moments, hours, days, weeks etc etc. A very good friend of mine killed himself a few weeks ago. It’s grim and it’s grim and it’s grim. Miss him like mad. I want to tell him so, but I can’t as he’s dead. Has brought home to me all too clearly the pointlessness of self appointed death. It can’t be undone, those words you may have wished to utter to those who made you feel so bad, are left unsaid, they’re alive, you’re dead.

Very nice Octop8…but who is Dorothy? So sorry to hear about your friend…it has happened in my life more times than I want to remember…losing friends and loved ones to suicide. I wish I had words to comfort you…but know that if he was successful…he is at peace now…and maybe God understood that he could take no more…sigh. Or perhaps there was a psychotic break…whatever the reason…suicide is hard for survivors to cope with…understandably. Nice post…except for your loss and personal struggle.
Sooo…did I see that you are new here…and from Liverpool? Welcome to SP…nice to have you here…sorta…hahaha…it is a suicide site afterall. Random question…do you know what a Yoik is? A word a friend from Liverpool used once…pretty sure he made it up…just thought I would ask…haha
Peace
