venere08: Hello Shirley,

It takes a very special person to firstly, share all that you have, and secondly, to offer yourself to others who may go through a difficult time in the upcoming holidays.

I find your humility and openness, refreshing.

Thank you.

DarkKnight2032: Shirley,

Thank you. I understand the despair that can go on. Earlier this year, I also felt the need to end it all. I had everything mapped out, how they were going to find my body, how I was going to commit the suicide and even the point of who got what of my belongings.

At that dark moment, something inside of me told me to wake up and that I had a purpose still and to, if I can reach out, give hope to those that needed it.

I woke up, shook off the despair and laughed at what was going to take me down. My best friend even came over and watched over me to make sure I recovered. To this day, he is more of a brother to me, then a friend. I have never really told anyone what occurred with me, but since you shared your story, I felt it was right for me to share mine.

After that, my favorite quote that I came up with was - Hug a single friend, you might have prevented a suicide.

So, I hope you have a wonderful holidays and I am here too, if you or someone needs to talk to.



-Robert


Robert,
I am go glad that you were able to change you mind set at that time. Not everyone is as lucky as us and working in a hospital I have seen so many people die during the holidays or try to anyway.
Thank you as well for posting your experience with me and the rest of your friends here on CS. And I loved your quote. Hug a single friend you might have prevented a suicide.
God bless you,
Shirley hug

brokenspirit: When my husband of 36 years passed away 5 1/2 years ago I tried to wrap myself around a tree. Have never shared this with anyone. Just as I was rounding the curve to go off the cliff and into the trees a picture of my grand-kids flashed in front of me. I pulled over and sat there in the wee hours of the morning and cried for over 2 hours. They had just lost their grandpa I could not put them through that again. Now I tell all that ask that I am going to my sister's for Thanksgiving, when in reality I am staying right here in my apartment alone. I have no suicidal thoughts going on but I just want to be alone. My choice. Thank you Shirley for starting this thread. We need to talk about these things. Hugs to all of you who are reaching out this time of year.


I could feel you pain in your writing and my heart hurts for you. I myself prefer at times to just be alone rather then pretend to be happy when I'm not. I don't mean though that I am always down and sad.
Thank you sharing with us your experience, strength. comfort hug

Hi Catwoman. wave

I appreciate the thought. Xmas is going to be brighter since I just made a connection here on CS. Things are moving along just fine and she's locally to me, so I think around XMas we are going to plan to meet and go from there.

If you ever need something, mail me or post here.


hug

Hey Lucky,

The best thing to do when you are starting to feel that way, is to call a close friend or a family member and check in with them.

second thing, get out of the house. Go soemwhere full a people and see what you can get into. (Nothing illegal. grin )

The more human interaction you have, no matter how small, is better then the loneliness you are feeling now.

Trust me, it will pass and things will get brighter.

cheers
