Not time yet

This is a comment from a post in the bipolar group, asking if anyone felt like ending it.....

24/7. But I know it's not time yet.... I have to walk across a freeway overpass to get to my Dr.s office, and it is so tempting sometimes, to just jump over the side, and be finished with it. And then, once, I stepped off the curb after crossing, and some idiot almost ran me over when they should have let me cross first.
Then I realized, my end will come soon enough, and I don't need to help it along.

That is true we don't need to help it along. Life is short enough.

Looloo- Very true. It gets even shorter if you ride anything with two wheels and a motor. The cars really are out to get you then.

When I first got diagnosed I felf like giving up, I remember one time vividly, I'd just dropped my kids at school and as I walked up the pavement a lorry was coming down the road, I can remember thinking how easy it would be to just fall, I even had it in my head to make sure the lorry went over my head so there would be no surviving it.

A short while later I was at the beach with my children and my friend, two young boys were in the sea and shouting for help, no one else had seen them and we had to go in, I dont swim well and have a slight phobia of the sea (if i were meant to swim god would have given me flippers and gills). I could still touch the rocks underneath with my feet when I reached the first boy but had to swim in an undercurrent to get to the second. I could easily have died that day, with my children there on the beach watching.

Things like that really make you think, I know now that I will never take my own life, I've taken that option away, it's not juat my life it's my childrens too.

I think the reason why this message is important is because I dont think any of us want to die. Not many any way. Being suicidal isnt about wanting to die its about being unable to cope with living, wanting the pain to end! But dying wont resolve that and we do only have a short amount of time. Make the most of what we have because before long it'll be taken from us whether we like it or not.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
