Would you ?

I have many of times when my Freinds wanted to do it. I’ve saved a lot of life’s and I wouldn’t mind trying to save more. Nobody has ever done this for me though. You don’t have to repost if you don’t want to. Just seeing who would.

I've called the authorities, even across the country, not knowing where my friend lived, and I've been more subtle and prayed with my friends, and talked them through what they were contemplating, appealing to their sense of their own instincts to live. The trust came with promising I would never call the cops again. I won't ever take someone's choice away from them. But I will, indeed, fight like hell to change their minds. I will always recommend they go to the hospital and/or the police station, depending on what state they're in. And I will always be there after all is said and done. Just like I want them to be.
All they have to do is remember I'm here. I wont ever forget them.
Aw, thanks. The lessons we learn when our hurting friends school us are important. I still wish I'd had a friend who wasn't family to talk to in my darkest moments. And I was blessed to have family who cared. Still, the good thing is I'm still here. So are you, and so is everyone who reads your post. Its important stuff to talk about. Removing the stigmas of our society breathes truth, transparency into what so many are experiencing, what so many others are uncomfortable with. The dialogues we engage in are as significant as the pain which drives so many of us to fulfill these stigmas.

I'm sorry for what you've gone through with your loved ones. And I'm glad to see your caring outreach.

I would and I have, but it gets tiring. I was there too many times when my brother almost killed himself. I can still remember the smell of blood and diseased flesh as we waited with him in emergency rooms. I eventually moved away, and he eventually “accidentally” overdosed on pain meds.
Of course I miss him, but a part of me hopes he found the peace he never could attain on this earth.
Now I’m going through it with my other brother. He is in liver failure but won’t stop drinking. I spent Christmas of 2016 watching him puke up blood as we waited for a surgeon to come patch him up. If he gives up the booze he has good years ahead, but I predict he doesn’t make the year. I know that one technically isn’t suicide, but if they tell you drinking will kill you and you continue to drink HARD, you have to almost wonder if it is the desired outcome.

Sorry to ramble on, your position is a noble one. I applaud you for doing all you can. I’m just saying it’s a heavy weight to carry when you try so hard and they still say goodbye.

@Nemiko Thanks. It was kinda therapeutic typing that out actually. I’ll maybe reach out later. My shift is almost ending.

Yes, I have done this with someone I didn't really know. Pretty well just stumbled upon them. But there was no way I could walk off & leave them alone.

Yes, I would do this too. If you have then I salute you!

That's cruel to anyone who truly wants to die.

If if meant saving a life? Then yes.

@Nemiko ❤️ I was just seeing who was. I don’t expect you to repost it. I will also try and be there for others too , it’s difficult as I struggle with those thoughts myself but if it means saving a life then count me in xx
