...so true.

I have many thoughts rolling around in my head and don't know how to, or don't want to, express them. You've done a good job with some of it for me ((David)).

I know time and again people have said this forum is for anyone touched by suicide, but I have never felt comfortable coming right out and saying, for instance, "the urge yesterday to cut my throat was overwhelming". I wouldn't want people in here who are questioning the suicides of loved ones to get upset.

But I do have those. And when one of those thoughts hits, it hits with the crescendo of an ocean wave. Obviously, I've made it to the other side.

I do think suicides are often a spur of the moment act but...preceded by thoughts of suicide over an intederminate amount of time. Sorry if that doesn't make sense. Somehow it does to me.
