Hey, I do not know about you, but just knowing I have a child (now a teen) stopped me from literally pulling the trigger, then I volunterily signed myself in for treatment, I will not say I have not had hard days since then, but I went with the "program", got my priorities straight. . . my kid comes first. Also after losing my beloved dad in 2002, I sort of got a deeper meaning of life and how short,sweet and bittersweet it can be.
Takes a lot of work, but you CAN get through this.
I guess 10 days in a psych ward sort of changed my mind of life or death, when we die that is the end. . . final.
If we choose to live there are many possiblities, even if they do not come right away, they do come
