today I saw...
Today I saw compassion on a level most folks only witness on the big screen. A member of our community is having some thoughts about taking their own life. Now most people would have passed this person, with nothing more than a look of disgust, but some of you saw that this lady needed more.... not pitty, not a scolding... you saw that she needed...something.  You took your time, you let her know that we care, even if she dont know who we are. Some of you went even further, and may have saved a life, you guys are amazing.  You're why I know that life is worth living, you have shown me what being human is truly about.

there have been so many suicide threats on here i think most of us know by now that trying to talk someone out of suicide is pointless, we have to show compassion and friendship and hope that the hand of friendship may be enough to make them think twice about it, give them something to hope for, sometimes telling someone that they have things to stay for reminds them that maybe they dont, so its best to just be a friend, show some kindness and just be there for them,
thanks for the mail tony, you are obviously a very kind person x
love to you, and now your on my list your stuck he he xxx

there is good in everyone i truly believe i think that we just need to give them the chance.. i hope this person realizes that they matter just as much as everyone else on this earth, i hope they will find the help they need.

i agree, and if we persavere and make sure we all befriend her weather she likes it or not, we might just stand a chance of saving her, i'm here everyday so i will check up and leave comments as often as i can, we should just keep an eye on her for a while, and your probably right to keep this post private for the time being xxxxxx

I chose pity for a minute, then I chose scolding.
I think a person with such serious and deadly intentions needs a bit of both.
I call it shock therapy.
It angers me to see someone giving up.
I will go to any length, to try and get through to someone.
Mizzconfused was a lesson to me.
I pitied and babied her...and she still went and took an overdose.
I wished I would have tried shock therapy on her.
I am even afraid to go back and see what happened to her now...last I heard...she ignored all of our babying methods and ended up in a coma in the hospital.
I feel guilty for not being more firm with her and not telling her how I really felt.
I know who you are talking about.
I do not regret scolding that dear person.
I did it out of love.
Just like you would scold your beloved son if he kept playing on the freeway.
You would not pity him, now would you?
No..you would scold him.
Love comes in many forms.
Peace.
