The Many Acts of Suicide.

There is no medicine like hope, no incentive so great,
and no tonic so powerful as expectation of something tomorrow.
Orison Swett Marden 

Are feel like a falling leaf?


      When you feel like giving up on life, you may have this feeling of weightlessness and withering away state. If I can compare this state of mind to anything, I would compare it to feeling like a falling leave, lifeless and fragile. It's end of the season kind of thing. But once that feeling passes, you would again feel liveliness and energy. The withering leaf you saw in your mind did fall though.
The is a fallacy to feel like a falling leaf. 
A fallen leaf cannot have feeling of seeing itself. Rather,
I then realize that I am the tree that remain rooted in place.
Next time when you feel like that again, know that the leaf in you may fall, 
but you stay standing.
In addition, you can also seek out a friend or a caring family member to help:
  • Offer emotional support, understanding, patience and encouragement.
  • Engage you in conversation, and listen to you.
  • Share your feelings, and help point out realities and offer hope.
  • You express feelings of suicide, and get you the help you need from your therapist or doctor.
  • Accompany you out for walks, outings and other activities. 
  • Remind you to take care of yourself. Sometimes, we do forget about that.
A person who is less demanding, patient and a good listener will often can help you. I offer you an inspiring video clip featuring a caring highway patrol mission and one officer, Mr. Kevin Briggs. He makes his work at the San Francisco Golden Gate Bridge as meaningful as one can possibly make it.

Thoughts of suicide actually come more naturally than what most people think. These thoughts just pop up and run through my mind. After so many such experiences, I mentally keep them from coming. I realize in desperation, these thoughts come naturally. Then you need to take a stand on what's the right thing to do for yourself. I just don't want to give up.

If you are feeling hopeless and believe that there is no way out of your situation, reach out to someone... to anyone. Most important believe that there is a way out other then ending your life and hurting everyone who ever cared about you.
