Please remember: To be angry is natural. To be angry at ourselves and others is normal. But to be so angry at another that you turn this awesome aggressive power on yourself is neither natural nor normal. It is, rather, an expression of the formula that frustration leads to anger leads to aggression.
And if you are not careful and smarter than the average bear, you may become a victim of it.

So before you kill yourself to "show" someone just how mad you are at them, consider that, should you succeed, your suicide will have created nothing, contributed nothing, and changed nothing. True, you will have made a statement about how angry you were, but ask yourself, "Do I have to say it this way?"

I hope not.

And how about being AFRAID?

I realize I am jumping in here, perhaps where I don't belong. But I think the next question is...afraid of what? Everyone experiences fear in one form or another. And that is not to belittle it, believe me. Fear is a big factor in my life. Fear can paralyze, I know, I have experienced it. That heart pounding fear that will stop you in your track. Then there are other fears. Like fear of what the future holds, fear that pain will never end, fear of becoming non-functional whether that be physically, or mentally, or emotionally, or all of these. Some of us have a harder time facing fear than others of us. That is the beauty of being able to form a human chain of hands reaching for hands. At least, here, there is no fear of rejection, no judgement. Or, at least, I hope so. So, whoever may read this, I hope you will reach out that hand through whatever fear there may be. Because, somehow it can be worked through, one baby step at a time. OK, I am through ranting. Lots of for anyone, and everyone, those I know, and those I don't know, and those I am getting to know...
