I went through a phase of "thinking about" pills, but then got hold of that euthenasia book "Final Exit" and found out that you've got to have LOTS of pills to do it right. (Prescription, stuff, too, not over the counter stuff.)
(If this is wrong ... don't tell me ... I probably shouldn't know.)
Shirley's last comment about her children being better off without her & her husband being a better person/father is a classic example of the suicidal "constricted thinking." [Now that I've named it, don't you feel LOADS better? ;) ]
Over the years I've learned to be able to tell when my thought patterns are "constricted" like that, but, honestly, I don't really care ... even if my thought pattern is supposedly absurd and untrue ("everyone hates me," "I'm no good," etc.,) it's still my reality at the moment, you know?Sigh.
(By the way, I mentioned my cop brother a post or two ago and my chiropractor brother somewhere else on the board. I've got two brothers. Is it carzy to worry that people would read both posts and think I was lying & not keeping my story straight about a single brother?)
The things I waste my time thinking about ...
