Suicidal Tendencies

[graidawg]

There is no justice on eplaya, alas.

dammit once again i plonk someone just before yhey get zapped into eplaya oblivion. I'm cursed!

[maryanimal]

You're right. I wonder what he did. It does sort of take the zest of plonking him.

Earlier today there was a new thread called Can't go to the playa or something like that. I can't remember the OPs name but he was depressed he couldn't go this year. So a few of us gave him some ideas on what to do and some links to find things/places/people. The H&T came in, made a short comment and then went into this diatribe about the government and children in poverty and blah blah blah yak yak yak Then he made a snide comment to the OP in the middle of the whole dern thing. And when I say it was a looooong drawn out piece of political rhetoric b.s., believe me, it was. So I said that comment should have been put in Politics instead of highjacking the OP's thread....blah blah blah yada yada yada.


So he *sniff* told me I was *weeping* on his*crying*foes liiiiiiiissst!!!*waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh* heeheeheehee

[swampdog]

At this point I'd have been insulted NOT to be on his foes list.

[BAS]

I think I'm glad I missed it. (Sure, there's a lot to complain about with regards to the government [actually, when I read a book about international trade, there was a comment to the effect that complaining about the government is an American pass time], but in a thread about not being able to go to TTITD? Plus a snide remark about the OP in the middle of it?)

Darn. Now I feel left out by not making the"enemies list." I must be doing something wrong.

[lucky420]

BAS, don't feel left out and all alone. You made the list darling, you are a foe too. If you click on H & T's foes list under his postings you should be able to see the list...

what i find most interesting is that this thread disappeared along with here and there...

And, of course, I'm "adding you to my foes list", as the system now describes the action of putting somebody on ignore. I know as many narcissists as I care to.

I've never done this before but I'm plonking your bitchy, whining, motherfucking apathetic ass. Please consider this as my formal application to be on your list. Seems all of my friends are there.
Oversensitve fucktard.

He seemed to be off his meds.

His post came across as overly dramatic and sanctimonious to me.
I think that's the first time I really used foul language / insult against another eplayan.
My apologies if I've offended anyone

[Elderberry]

Damn, I always miss the good stuff!

Why, you are correct! I made the list and didn't even know it! That actually has improved my mood considerably.

YAY!


Thanks for pointing it out to me.

[OregonRed]

Awwwwww! I didn't make the list! *kicks the dirt* Dangit!

hello all . ... what can i say . awesome burn... it took me apart and put me back together in a whole new way. very poiniant to my being. the universe truly took my hand and led me to where and when i needed to be. it told me that i am a positive force in this world and that there are millions of people out there that need (i stress the word need) me to stay . i cant tell you how many folks who's lives iv touched in profound ways while working at the brc international post office and how they touched mine . for the first time in a very long time im happy . truly contented , i know what it is to truly smile and feel it in my heart . i cant remember the last time i shed tears of unadulterated joy (today in the car heading over to dammit bills house) before going to TTITD.i also laid to rest a childhood longing for a place of rememberance for my nana. my aunt took her ashes and dissapered from the family effectivly stealing any chance to visit my nannas resting place .. temple changed that for me in a massive way. while i was remembering the times i had with my nana i suddenly cought the scent of burned sage on the breeze . a scent from my childhood readily recognisable to me because of the random brush fires out in dayton where i stayed with nana. it told me that it was ok that i didnt have a grave site to send up my heart to her . that i thought about her was enough and that it was ok if i said what was needed at the temple. (i cryed my ass off that night) when it was over i wandered the crowd dispenseing huggs like life giving water to any and all that would let me .(and that would be everyone i aproached) i hugged 3 temple builders, through tear blinded eyes and emotion wracked wispers i thanked them with my whole heart that they gave me a place to comunicate with my departed grandmother and passed friends .. i left them in joyous tears....... i just got back today and im still processing the events of last week and there full rammifications on my soul ... il be updating soon
just know .. im ok
doing better than i have in so very very long
thank you temple builders and a warm thankyou to burning man

I need some insight as to what goes through someones mind when they're about to end their life. but backed out.

[Nipple]

...

This was actually back when I lived up in your area. I was in Cheney. Life was just all kinds of wrong. I won't get into the specifics, but... I think some pretty heavy seasonal depression, a winter that was never going to end, my marriage coming to an end (this was/is a positive thing, but stressful none the less) and a bunch of other interpersonal factors lead me to an attempt.

The police are actually what ended up stopping me, though they didn't know it. I was walking elsewhere, and stopped to get some cigarettes. I was fairly distraught, and the gas station was closed, but the guy was standing right there inside. So I tried talking him into selling me cigarettes... I guess my wigged out presence gave him the willies. I didn't know it, but he went in back and called the cops.

Cheney is pretty small. After a few moments of me wondering if he was going to come back out, I turned around and realized I was surrounded by 4 cops. They just kept asking me questions, and I was drunk, and freaked out and at that point I just wanted to stop interacting with them.

I asked the magic (I didn't know it was magic then) "Can I go, please?" He answered "Sure... you're not breaking any laws." Then let me go. They would have just kept me there asking me questions until... I don't know.

The whole experience kinda moved me past the moment. It didn't FIX anything, but kinda moved the needle away from a bad outcome.

Why don't you just ask? You wouldn't have had that opportunity had he not backed out, so take advantage of it.

[maryanimal]

I am asking John. Right here and now. I know it may be hard for people to say on the board but pmming me might be helpful. I tell nothing to anyone else who pm's me. I'm a stickler for confidentiality. But thanks for sharing nipple. ((((hugs)))) And Cheney is STILL a small town!

I have read, that people who attempt suicide and fail, never try it again. (I could be wrong) They realize how much they have to live for and how much people around them love them.
Some of the saddest stuff I see, is when a high school age person takes their own life. They have no idea that life gets better. That bad time they're feeling is just a blip in the scope of the world, and they are making a drastic and horrible decision at that moment.
Things get better, the sun shines again, and there are lots of good reasons to work on growing to be an old, crabby and crotchety person.
My goal in this life, is to be the only person left at my last high school reunion. So far, so good!

Yea, that's not true. A lot of times what pushes people towards suicide is clinical depression. With depression, it doesn't matter how many/much the people near them love them. Sometimes, it's just chemical.

[Elderberry]

I can tell you from personal experience that is entirely not true.

[maryanimal]

I can tell you from personal experience that though it may be true some will never try it again, in the case of Pat, an accomplished drummer, he would attempt suicide knowing someone would find him before it was too late, which he did a few times a year. Before his last attempt he called a friend of his who he usually called strung himself up, but the guy never got the message. He left his phone home that day. when got the mesage, he raced over the only to find him hanging in the garage.

I feel if people want to end their lives they will. some people, such as Pat, was crying out for help and attention. It's just sad all around, Depression IS a chemical thing, but sometimes misdiagnosis or the wrong type meds can can throw a person off a bridge.

[MyDearFriend]

I have a problem with the way you are wording this. Seems to me, that if someone is about to end his/her life, and then holds off for whatever reason, lays down the gun, steps away from the edge, puts the cap back on the bottle or the vial back in the fridge...

This is not "backing out." This is "facing up."

That moment in time when you know you can die, one more move and you are done... Damn.

If you are still standing after that particular gut-check, you have not backed out of anything; quite the reverse, in fact. Please do not devalue that wretched little achievement.
