That's the wonder of the internet; I can say with absolute sincerity than no one in my 'real' life is thus qualified.<br /><br />Replied to your comment on my blog - pretty crap reply to be honest, but wanted to connect and let you know that I am sorry to hear how crap things are with you at the minute and how frustrating it must be to have no healthcare support at all. Words seem glib but I do hope things will improve. I was pleased to read your earlier comment that you were seeing your friend and taking a few days off - if nothing else, I hope that this will afford you some small chance to 'relax', insofar as that's possible. Take care of yourself anyway, and talk soon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8180095206501850443.post-10774911351062176602009-10-08T08:57:12.869-04:002009-10-08T08:57:12.869-04:00Thansk, SI.

I’ve come to look forward to our dialog; it’s a treat to come across someone who “gets it.” Ahh, the incredible world of technology: for you to be across 5 time zones away, yet we always seem to be on the same page!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8180095206501850443.post-82109076557054613712009-10-07T13:48:43.471-04:002009-10-07T13:48:43.471-04:00I've iealised suicide for basically as long as...I've iealised suicide for basically as long as I can remember. There is something so incredibly attractive about having that control over your own life and death. Not to mention the glorious silence that you speak of. I had an operation last year, and was petrified of being awake during the procedure. Of course, I wasn't in the end, but it was different from just being in a deep sleep. It's about as close to death as an alive person can experience, I think, and there was something so peaceful about those few hours of nothingness.<br /><br />What you said about your friend also resonated with me. That's the reason I password-protected that post of mine the other week. A friend told me the next time I tried to off myself he'd call a social worker and get me sectioned. He even acknowledged that it wasn't his place - well, take your own fucking advice then, you dick. I've also challenged C on this; suicide was legalised here in 1967, so how <b>dare</b> he threaten to call my psychiatrist or GP should I seem on the verge of it?!<br /><br />But, having said all that, I'm a fucking hypocrite. My own suicidal ideation is perpetually strong, yet I so often am begging other mentals on Twitter or like this in blog comments not to catch the bus. I don't want to patronise you by coming off with something similar, but if it makes any difference at all, I do enjoy reading your well-written, analytical blog and indeed engaging in dialogue with you. Not much of course. <br /><br />I suppose what I am saying is that <b>I</b> wouldn't want you to do it, as I'm sure your friends wouldn't, but I can certainly understand the motivations.<br /><br />Oh, and DBT and mindfulness are a pile of crap. I think C and I will be at loggerheads yet again over this tomorrow.<br /><br />Take care of yourself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
