Re: Why Suicide?

I don't have an answer for that. I have known some people who said their
lives were just too painful to endure. I strongly believe in
self-determination but suicide can be a selfish act that leaves those who
loved that person with such raw, agonizing pain and so many unanswered
questions. It can also be a manipulation that goes wrong. A lot of the
suicide notes I have seen during my professional life were massive guilt
trips. My DD has recently been diagnosed with Manic-Depressive/Bi-polar
Disease and has often said how painful her life can be when she is in her
low times. She feels compelled to end her emotional pain during these times
but during the good times is glad that she didn't act on those dark
thoughts. The Lithium has evened it out some but has horrible side effects.
Her hand trembles so much that she can no longer hand quilt or cross stitch
and that breaks her heart. They are still working with the dosage but her
neurologist says she may have to live with this particular side effect in
order to even out the mood swings. I worry that I will get a call someday.
I just try to put her in her Creators hands and pray for her to find some
kind of peace. I never end a conversation with her without telling her I
love her. It isn't much but it will comfort me if the worst ever happens.
Selfish of me, now. I have worked very hard on accepting the fact that I
can't control other people - not even my children, LOL!!
