i watched a good documentary. a 15 yr old boy committed suicide. he had bipolar and very troubled. i wonder how often this happens. when will bipolar become a national crisis?
i have never seriously considered suicide. i guess i have a strong faith. but i can see how it can be possible.
i think bipolar could push someone to suicide. i guess i had a few close calls.
and also suicide seems like something not to be talked about. like if u brought it up to the doc it would put u in trouble. u know i think i can't stand this maybe i'm better off dead. but to kill myself is way too scary. i couldn't shoot myself or do pills. or jump off a bridge. but maybe its because of medication.
i wish a lot more suicides could be prevented. like talk about it. lets improve mental health. why does it have to be a put down.
well i'm not thinking of suicide. so don't be alarmed. the documentary got me thinking. the poor kid.
well everyone take care

What a terribly sad story to kill yourself so young. And there is a stigma attached to mental illness so often kids don't want to talk about how they feel. I could never kill myself either. Just because I could not do that to my son. How the family must feel. What is happening in this country with all the bi polar? Maybe it's the medication that is making things worse. It's a mystery.

suicide is a horror and a travesty we should all see ourselves as responsible for each other.
and if someone uses the S word even if just in fun-we'll its never jsut in fun for a mentally unhealthy person...its an option they are considering-i know cos thats where ive been its a cry for help that MUST be answered...

Suicide is such a sad thing, no matter how old you are, but in the young it seems such a waste. I have been on the brink, but can't bring myself to actually do it. It is far better to talk about things and if the mental health issue was more open, then I think that would prevent some people taking their life.

This is a deeply insightful entry and it's very true about the stigma of mental illness, not just bipolar disorder but any mental illness from bipolar to obsessive compulsive to anorexia. Mental illness and its effects are a really big problem in the states and around the world and no one really talks about it, which is sad because the mentally ill all to often think they are not only ill but they are "bad" or "crazy" as well, which is not true. It sounds like the documentary really spoke to you.
just feel really bored today. i've had the tv off. just watched a porno. wish i had something coming up. my motorcycle is fixed but i don't know when i'll ride. i have to come up with $500. and my leg has to get better.
i did meet 2 people on daily. nice people. i might go check the mail just to do something. get on my crutches.
my dog just sleeps. we should go out more. i hope august goes fast. i'm ready for cooler weather. fall is my favorite season. i need to ride again.
i hope my mom will help me give blood again. i could make a $100 to put on bike. i see the doc on the 26th. and i hope to be walking. thursday is 7 weeks.
i think the boot helps. only problem is the leg is still weak. my knee hurts some.
well guess i'll go.

Glad to see you are writing again. I'm also pleased that you are back on your bike. Don't worry about the women, when you stop looking is when they appear.
