Phil, I don't know you all that well, but to me, you seem like one tremendously sweet, sensitive, caring, loving person. It sure 'ain't fair' that such a person is sad.
How I wish I could magically help everyone who feels so badly.
((((((((((((((Phil))))))))))))))) You deserve hugs, & love & probably most of all - appreciation. I hope there are lots of people who appreciate you. I suspect there are lots of us here!
you're in my thoughts, Phil.
luv, Kath xoxoxo
> I love these boards-two days ago was 4 years that I've been here. I am getting down myself because of so many suicide posts. Not because of the posts themselves, moreso because there's not a damn thing I can do except type.
> Recently, being told bt email that I was nice to try and help, now go away.
> I'm not responding anymore to these cries for help. Most don't want to hear it or are uncapable of hearing it.
> I understand the issue, having been there a few times but if I were going to kill myself, nobody here would ever know. You wouldn't get advance warning.
> You know that people don't really want to die when they post that they want to die. If I want to die, it's very easy. I do carbon monoxide or blow my brains out...done deal. No use thinking of the best way, I think it would be most unpleasant by any method.
> Why does this treatable illness take so many, so young, so clueless. I pray for those that are hurting and I pray that I can stop hurting myself.

> Had to get that out of my system. It isn't aimed at anyone but at everyone hurting so bad that all they want is to be dead for Christmas.

> How many suicides could be saved by just getting people to care just enough to say Help me. And then let us try to help.
