I think just about everyone does the very best they can in the circumstances they're in. So if a person commits suicide, whether it's se_fish or not, that's the best answer they can come up with at the time. How tragic...what might have made a difference? Perhaps a website such as this one in Cathy's post, that tries to reach a more "thinking" part of the brain. Perhaps a kind word on a website, or a smi_e on the street.

For me, I think that if I'm saying I'm going to do it, I probab_y won't. I'm reaching out for somethin g good or positive, and in a desperate situation. If I ever decided to DO it, I think I'd just go off and do it, and not say anything first.

Thank you CathyS for a very informative link.

It just may help someone here.

Going through hell on earth on but not considering suicide, in fact I'm trying to stay alive - no thanks to Kaiser Permanente who doesn't give a flying fig.

It is so painful when our "providers" don't seem to get it. I am so glad
you reached out here. I am also glad you are trying to stay alive. It
can be hell on earth at times. I hope the next hour is a little bit better.
