Suicide A curse Or A Blessing?

I tried to end my life in 1986. I was so depressed and I had no friends. My girlfriend of 11 years had just left me and I was not able to deal with my emotions in a positive way. I drank a 5th of Vodka, snorted a 8 ball of cocaine smoked a ounce of weeds and then I took a handful of narcotics and retrieved my Chef knife. I cut myself had a snort, drink, puff, pill, until I can not remember what happened. I woke up in a hospital. It took many years to come to grips with my inner pain and my feeling of being worthless. I am proud to say I have come a very long way since that night so long ago. I still have depression and there are many things in my life that make me cry, like my wife left me for another man and she moved back home to France. I had a girlfriend 3 years later and after 6 months she " dumped " me to use her words. I was unhappy but I was able to get past this with no harmful effects. I am sorry I can not find love in my life but I am happy to be alive anyway. Having a partner would go a long way toward making me feel whole. Until that happens ... if it ever happens ... it is up to me to remember that pain is a sign of healing and my soul aches.

Suicide is just a permanent solution to a temporary problem. There are always ways around that empty/worthless feeling.What I always find helps is to talk to someone. If anyone ever needs to talk, I will be here =)

Please feel free to ask me to talk at any time. I will be willing to listen. It helps to know someone cares and I really care. I hope no one succeeds in their suicide attempt. Where there is life there is hope where there is hope there is life.....
