The sigma of mental health issues...the sigma of suicide..and everybody loses.

OH how I understand
 

Yet, stigma has been a thought which occurred to me in realizing baggage and stigma HURTS those left behind.

One who stood at the precipice and backed away in times past,
realizing HURT too hard to bear is left for those who remain
in many situations affected by spontaneous
departure

for the room:grouphug:

Diane Rehem on NPR had a show this morning about guns and suicide. How more men than women complete suicide, but more women attempt it. How pills fail so often, while guns always succeed.

Michael of course came to mind...had he not had that gun right there perhaps.....

I wonder if Addy was listening to it too...:o not the wonder thread here Alffe...

never mind..... just a negative comment sigh......

Goofy, this is the place to talk about what you are feeling. Negative thoughts are normal when we are struggling. You aren't alone and you are loved. :grouphug:

having a hard time coming to grips with my own thoughts and failures. Thinking about the future of my kids. Scott wanting to be a minister. what kind of mother am i. i'd only bring shame to him. my daughter growing by leaps and bounds "spiritually" i dont want to drag her down with my "baggage" sometimes i feel like the world would be better off without me and my crap. sigh....

Oh to see ourselves as others see us! Goofy...how many years have we known each other...how much have we survived what life dealt us?

I can't make you love yourself but I know that you should...those wonderful kids of yours are the good people they are because of you...you and your husband...they all adore you as do we on this forum. Please don't be so hard on yourself....we all "do" what we have to do to survive.

All of us are sinners, all of us have baggage. Sending prayers and much love. :hug:
