don’t do anything drastic, just think what else if anything you can do 1st! please ask for help and talk to someone…
Hi Paul, please step away from the tablets and find something to distract yourself.
where are u? the sun is shining where I am…can u get out for some fresh air to clear your head. please don’t do anything that u will regret. they say suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. something could go wrong and u could be worse off. do you have anything in your life u can be thankful for today? surely there is something in this big old world u would miss. I don’t know u Paul but I know u are unique & special. there’s a piece in this jigsaw that only u can fit and nobody else. if u need to talk please ring a help line. be safe & hang in there. take care buddy. let us know how u are doing.
Hi Paul, I promise you, they are just thoughts. Keep with it, change happens sooner than you think. Been there mate, message some more if you like. What’s getting to you brother?
Please don’t reach for this drastic solution. It’s the worst one for you.
There is a way for you and you will just hang on and take one baby step at a time you will find yourself on a journey out of this state of mind you’re in.
One baby step would be to tell your doctor if you have one and to make an appointment with a doctor if you don’t have one and tell him what you’ve said here.
Another and even easier baby step would be to consult with a suicide hot line and use it as often as you need or want to.
Please don’t paul
