Thank you for this. I have struggled with suicidal thoughts since I was 7yrs old my first attempt was 9yrs old and your right no one chooses to be suicidal. Here I am 49 yrs old and still struggle with suicidal ideations and too many suicide attempts too count. Maybe if talking about suicide wasn't such a taboo or scary thing or seen as a bad thing maybe more lives would be saved. Suicide is not bad or all those things that people say it is it is so misunderstood because people do not take the time to listen to the person who is going through those thoughts or feelings they make it about themselves and not about the person who is suicidal. I can't tell you how many times I have heard think about your kids or think about your family guess what I have really hard and that's not something I wanna hear. Or I hear how would it make me feel if you left stop making it about you because it's not about you it's about the person who is feeling suicidal they have thought about everyone and 9 times out of 10 they feel there suffering is not fair to you. And I have felt that way many times myself. Maybe if people would just listen instead of trying fix. We are not a project that needs fixing.
Beautiful, moving read
