Please Read.
Silence is not an option. So I speak out. I would also like my readers, whom I see as my friends in some way, to know more about suicide and remove the stigma. Lots of lives can be saved if the stigma is removed. Longer back, suicide was an option for me. Now, it's a triumph card I hold in my hand, knowing I will take out only when I run out of coping devices. And I think along the way, I've amassed alot of coping devices, and am still amassing them.
What I agree with David Webb is, we need to face healing tactics that do not require medication.
Because, I think I'm still in the process of healing, and I heal better now, than when I was on medication.

Have you actually tried to commit suicide ? :(
This reflects how little I know you ... I hope you live long enough for us to meet... Being Singaporeans that ought to be a realistic , though very slight possibility :)

I read the article ... I think how Dr Webb delt with his problem was: he put his mind into something else other then his reasons for suicide. Ironically that something else was the phenomena of suicide itself. Kinda cool would love to listen to him sometime :)
Good Posting Lainey :)

I remember, once upon a time. Windswept cliffs stretching far below me, legs almost dangling over the edge. Before me, seagulls calmly drifting, surrealy, upwards back over the edge of the drop. Sunlight warming a cold, tired soul reflecting on how easy it would be, just to lean forwards a little; how, perhaps I could find eternal rest from insanity.
