Kevin,

The number of replies you've already gotten shows how much people care about you! Don't give up on life, everyday the medical community is making huge strides. Hang in there, and call the suicide hotline or 911 please! There are many people out here ready to help you!

 

Kev you knew people wouldn't support your offing

yourself! Come now! You came here to say farewell and we're riled as hell and worried and concerned and peeved at feeling so helpless as to getting services to you if you are in jeopardy to yourself or others.

Damn you and your boo no to getting help. It is a natural response to someone in pain reaching out to want them to receive help. We are reacting as is normal for people who care about another human being.

Kevin please call for help now.

Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. There are people who can help you but it is up to you to reach out for that help. Go to your phone now!

No matter what the problem, you will find a way - even though you feel hopeless now.

In 10 weeks from now, you could easily look back and think "I'm so much better, can't believe I felt that bad before"

STRUGGLE ON! DON'T BECOME ANOTHER STATISTIC,

GOD BLESS,
ACE.

Don't make any quick decisions in your current state of mind. It just isn't worth it. I've been there, and that kind of thinking is very short-term. Whatever emergency measures you have to take, do so now -- and then get long-term help. People do care, and so will your family. These sorts of thoughts come from high-anxiety situations, and they will pass --but you need help. Don't make a radical decision based on some immediate problem. It will just create more problems, and will solve nothing.

Kev,

I've been there.Don't do it.I remember you as a poster,and I give a rat's ass too!
You need to get yourself away from your current environment, and visit a hospital, and be truthful about how you feel.Or a friend at least.
What have you got to lose??
Have you ever done something or made a really bad decision whilst drunk, and then regretted it like hell afterwards?When your head clears, you realize just how wrong you were, how messed up your reasoning was?That's how I look back at when I was thinking of suicide.Looking back,I realize I was very wrong, I was helped,I got through it.It's worth it.
There's no hangover and time for reflection to follow what you're contemplating.So think about it in advance!Your family won't want you dead.Chances are, it will destroy them.
But you're right, you do need to be out of the picture, for the moment.Out of your stressful environment and into the company of caring professionals who will help you through.Just go to any hospital and talk to someone.Please.

Col.


 

Effects of a father's suicide - from a daughter

In reply to this is the end, beautiful friends, posted by wharfrat on June 3, 2003, at 21:24:51

Hey, I hope I'm not too late. First off, if your son is not what you'd like him to be, don't write yourself off because of it. Parenthood is a tremendous responsibility, but don't kid yourself into thinking that you are the ONLY influence, bad or otherwise, in your child's life. Some kids with wonderful parents turn out badly and vice-versa.

My dad committed suicide when I was fourteen years old. That was twenty years ago. Not a day goes by that I don't wish he was still here. My dad was not a super nice guy either. He was an alcoholic, yelled at us a lot, went into debt buying nice stuff for himself, and was a general pain in my butt for a long time. Despite all that I still wish he were here. Why? Because he's my DAD. No one else in the world can say that. I'm sure he thought he was doing us all a favor by killing himself. I don't think he did. None of us was ready to give up on him. Two months before his death he turned into the father I've always wanted. I'm kicking myself for turning down his invitation to have dinner with him on my birthday that year, less than a month before his death.

If you kill yourself you will be doing it more for yourself than your family. After all, in order to be out of your family's life all you have to do is move out. That would give them the option of contacting you and asking you to come back. When you kill yourself you do not give them that choice. Suicide will end your suffering, but only make theirs worse.

I am so glad to hear that you are okay. I'm new to the board and was reading this thread last night and was very concerned. Checked it out first thing this morning and there was no word.

Sounds like you're going through a very rough patch. I hope you get the support you need!

Thanks for that kind advice. It's refreshing to have people like you that don't have any problems to come on a board where people that do have porblems and give such straight to the point advice. I guess I 'm not as smart as you. I guess I don't know JACK SMITH!!!!

Faking a suicide attempt is childish » wharfrat

And that's what you did, that's why I said "grow up." I think coming on to a board and saying you are going to kill yourself is unacceptable unless you really are serious. Then to just dismiss it all as "drunken ramblings" is a childish cry for attention. I read your series of posts and got very upset that it appeared like someone was actually dying as they were posting. It certainly seemed like you were trying to imply that you had OD'd and you were posting a long goodbye. . . .

To then read that you were just "rambling" is really upsetting. Reminds of me of previous poster who faked a suicide attempt on this board and posted as her dad saying that she was in the hospital. I come here for support, not to see how people will react if I pretend to kill myself. I am not going to toy with people's emotions.

JACK

P.S. I can see my post-banning coming, Dr. Bob.

Jack Smith,
I would hope that Dr Bob would not ban you for speaking your mind. And I'm sure that your opinion is felt, to different degrees, by alot of the people reading these posts. Most people might not say it though, giving wharfrat the benefit of the doubt. Oddly enough, your comment balanced everything nicely. An outpouring of sympathy balanced by the father-figure voice of reason. I probably don't make any sense. LOL
Anyways, it is a BEAUTIFUL day to be alive.

Well Jack,
I guess if I had your positive and uplifting support last nite, I would probably be layin in cold storage today. Thanks to all who did help.
I appreciate Jack reminding me of why I quit posting several months back. Because there are some people who seem to liike to make others feel bad. By saying I was faking something is saying I'm a liar and I don't recall ever meeting Jack Smith. So who is HE to call a person HE's never met and knows nothing about their background a fake or basically a liar, deceiver. Why would I come on here after so many months late at night to try and play with peoples emotions? I've never bullshitted ianybody on this board. Why would I start now? I read the rules and regulations about being civil when I signed on this board and I've kept it that way.

Thanks for nothing JACK
Maybe you can get a job on the psychic hotline

P.S. Dr. Bob, sorry about the launguage. You don't have to block me. I WON'T be back

I know Kevin from another board and he is always faking suicides. You have no idea how many times people on our group called the police to get him help. He has a borderline personality disorder among other problems.

Best thing to do is to ignore him. He has a therapist. He has a pdoc. He is on medication. He says he has gone through DBT therapy. But he still manipulates people.
