In reply to suicidal ideation an addiction? *possible trigger*, posted by B2chica on April 5, 2005, at 12:35:53
For me, it's an old, old habit, one I learned from my mother.
She always made it clear that suicide is a choice. If all else fails, if things get too painful, then a person can kill herself. That is what my mother always has said (yup, she's still alive) and that is what I still believe.
Lots of times I just wish I could do it. Even when I'm happy. It feels like the inevitable end of things.
But don't take a "handful of pills". At best you'll end up with a hangover - you could end up mentally or physically handicapped. That happens often with attempts that involve pills; they don't often end up dead. Imagine what it would be like to be inside a drooling, twitching body? Far better to get help than take a bunch of pills.
I wonder what the suicide urge says to us about ourselves. What does it say to other about us?
