Am I insensitive?? I was having a conversation with my friend the other day and he was talking about how one of his friends is suicidal and apparently she's been that way off and on for a while. I went on to tell him that I have little tolerance for people like that. I say if you don't want to live, goodbye! Let me explain because that did sound a little harsh…
Life can be very hard. Sometimes things can seem so bad that you can't see the light at the end of the tunnel. I understand that. I even understand the occasional "I just can't take this anymore!" feeling. But if you are constantly calling me, text me talking about, "I think I'm gonna just kill myself" please stop wasting my time. If you gonna do it, do it. But if you wanna live, LIVE. Mental health is a serious issue and no one that really wants to end their life is always talking about it. They don't want the opportunity to be talked off the ledge. But, while I'm wasting my time talking you off, you making plans for next week and I miss warning signs of someone who may really be on the verge. So, if you feeling lonely and wanna talk, just say that. Don't call me talking about "I'm about to run into traffic" because I'm gonna say, well call me tomorrow if you're still around.
People are dying everyday. Someone is dying right now as I type this blog that does not want to die. So, if you don't wanna be here, stop wasting air and energy and go meet our maker! They we over populated J
Someone once started a texting conversation with me about wanting to end their life. I tried for a while telling them things they had to live for, people that love them, etc. Finally after the person negated all the help I tried to give, I texted, "Well, I'll check on you tomorrow." The response was, "If I'm still alive." "OK" I said. Next day, I hit em up and the person was all happy telling me about all this good stuff going on. See what I mean??
Don't get me wrong, I am sensitive and understanding but OMG, I have limits. I am available to be a listening ear and to lend an encouraging word or two. But pah-lease don't step to me that suicidal BS. If you can't cherish this precious gift of life, maybe you don't deserve it. If you come to me with all this negativity and I try to offer you a positive side and show you all the blessings you have yet you still talking about some old dumb mess…peace. May the ancestors welcome you!
