Why is it that a suicide post sends me into an over the edge, obsessive type behavior? I mean it is unreal. I obsess and almost want to fight. I have lived through suicide. I know how it feels to lose someone loved to suicide. I know what it is like to try suicide two times. Yet, any post that I read about suicide I go over the edge. Why is this? Deep psychological work-up appreciated.

I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...

Has anyone tried these supplements? Do they give MGers more quality of life by improving memory and overall well being?Thanks!Barbel
I think you feel helpless.
You, dear DEAR DEAR LOVELY MAN, are a fixer. You go over the edge out of a sense of frustration and emotional impotence....not to mention fear.
Rest easy my friend, you do everything you can to save every one of us every single day!
I, for one, have noticed. I, for one, appreciate all you do.
hugs
Well first off, not only is it a natural human reaction to be concerned, but especially when it hits home as it does to so many of us here. Also, I'll bet that you have some PTSD from the experience of finding your partner, which no doubt is being triggered by these posts. My younger brother took his life at the age of 19 & I simply cannot read the suicide posts any more because all of the memories come flooding back to me again. I am also a "suicide survivor", so that is another reason it sends me over the edge. Do yourself a favor for your peace of mind & try to scan the headlines a bit, avoid these posts as much as you can. You're only torturing yourself by reading them, honestly. That's my 2 cents anyway :)
