"You don't. You remember those you have lost. You think of those that have lost someone. You think of the people who are fighting the battle with themselves not to commit suicide. You wear yellow and/or write love on your wrist. You raise awareness and find out about why people feel driven to do this."  | |||

"What's the etiquette ?" Normal practice is to slit one's wrists in the bath. It's considered bad form to ruin the carpets when checking out.  | |||

"Most suicides are now men in their fiftys" Men have always been at higher risk of suicide than women, yet more women commit parasuicide. I will spare you an essay, but one of the common reasons is, women are more likely to talk to other people, men tend to bottle things up. Also women of childbaring years will visit the doctor far more frequently than men and while they are there for "other" reasons will mention that they are feeling low, or depressed. Whenever ive been in the hospital its usually been about 50/50 but the groups ive helped with/attended there has always been more men. Out of the people i know that have committed suicide only one has been a woman. | |||

"I don't have much sympathy for suicides if I'm honest about it. I think they are selfish and think only of their own problems and not the problems they are going to leave behind for their families to clear up when they've gone. How many families have cried in despair at the thought that if only they'd asked for help, they'd have given it gladly." I love the fact that you live in your own little bubble wishy and have no idea what goes on in the real world. Imagine having a terrible illness yourself that causes you to be more prone to suicide | |||

How about they are so driven to despair that they can no longer think rationally. Have nobody to turn to or can see no other option ? | |||

"How the hell do you celebrate that? "I celebrate my mum's life. I also remember: the calls to the house and no reply the drive knowing something was wrong the decision not to call my sister as I wanted to be the one to find her the looking at the blinds shut as I walked up the drive the silence as I opened the door... a strange silence the note left..... the walk from room to room & opening closed doors until I found her the call to my sister the police coming the questions..... the what ifs..... RIP x | |||

If it is indeed a mental illness that leads to depression and then ultimately suicide then that illness must always be lurking in a person's mind somewhere. I've had hard times in my life like anyone else has but I choose to deal with it head on and not stick my head up my arse and kiss the world goodbye. That's a coward's way out. | |||

Men are more likely to jump, hang, shoot, or do something quick and violent, than a woman | |||

"Men are more likely to jump, hang, shoot, or do something quick and violent, than a woman" Yeah, like take out his own wife/children at the same time. Assholes.  | |||

Thats because you dont have an illness that causes it. There are people that just "go and do it" and they do generally succeed, but how on earth would you know how someones mental health affects them if you have never had it. As for having people around your children, that is your perogative to think that, but i thought we had left that kind of stigma behind along while ago. Sorry to say wishy but with 1 in 4 people suffering some form of mental health issues you probley(more than likely) have had your children roud ill people | |||

"Sorry to say wishy but with 1 in 4 people suffering some form of mental health issues you probley(more than likely) have had your children roud ill people" Yes, I realise that, and it worries me. There are 12 members of staff at the nursery my children attend and the numbers say three of them must have some sort of mental illness. That's bloody scarey! | |||

Maybe you should ask for access to all members private medical notes before you allow someone near one of your children. After all we wouldnt want your children catching something from them would we | |||
