Do you want to ask me anything?
Edited on Sat Oct-13-07 08:33 PM by KC2
I could use a distraction tonight.

Someone close to me told me they were suicidal about 2 hours ago.

I'm stressed... and feeling f*ing cursed that people continue to tell me

when they are suicidal. Why???

Ask me anything... really....


Go!

1. Not sure what to ask you right now, but will ask you anyway to help distract you :)
If you wanted to post anything about your life, what would it be?

2. About MY life? Well.... I'd love to tell airline stories....
I have so many. But those damned confidentiality agreements I signed, when hired, prevent me from it. :-(

4. You know....
...I have already shared so many things about my mother, college days, my childhood...

sometimes I feel like there is nothing the Lounge doesn't already know about me! lol! (that is kind of sad, now that I think about it)

5. Naw, not really
I am not always here and so I don't know what all you have posted, and maybe you don't know all I have either.

I am open, ask me anything at all :)

10. Ok... thanks....
I can't remember... did you go back to work? I think, at one time, you weren't working. Hope you are... if you want to, that is.

8. Oh, we posted at the same moment..
No, I cannot make biscuits.... at least, not good ones! Sorry!

Why would anybody put mustard on biscuits, anyway?!

12. I hope you are ok
but

did you call anyone about your friend???

family?? EMTS???

My daughter threatened suicide when she was 15
I did not let it go.
I called the first aid squad....
we kicked down the fucking bathroom door
they took her to the ER.... her brother was on the FAS
so they treated this seriously..... we told them to


do not

i repeat DO NOT HESITATE
TO CALL ANYONE
to help your friend..

now KC

I have learned that if they tell you..
they really want help, the ones that do it
don't ask for help
lost

13. I am painfully aware of all this...
Family is with her now... and tomorrow she's coming over to my house-- she promised me.

She talked it out... for quite awhile.

It's just such a bewilderment to me... why suicide is so widespread and so tempting to so many.

And, I swear, it's like I'm a magnet for people who are feeling/thinking those thoughts! :-(
