Suicide

[martinw-48]

Why is it so bad?
Is it just that misery loves company.
That no one should have an easy out.
That you must suffer with the rest of us.
I actually benifited from suicide.
If my father hadn't killed himself I'd have had to kill him.
I couldn't live any longer under his control.
What is it with people that you must suffer from the same things that they hate.
I have been whinged at for years for not having gotten married and having children.
Even by total strangers.
The exception is that some men tell me that I'm extremely smart.
That they wished that they'd never married and they can be either still married or divorced.
I actually understand why people kill themselves.
Why constantly suffer just because someone else who hasn't ever been able to make your life better get to keep you suffering.
They always claim that they could of helped but how do they really know.
It could be that those who claim that they could have helped make the departed life better were the very one's that the departed wanted to get away from.

We all wonder at suicide at times, I think.

Maybe just the more sensitive of us, I guess.

I've often wondered at the best method, without making it too gory.

I wouldn't want to leave a horrible corpse of myself for my family to deal with.

Like a blowdryer or slashed wrists in the bathtub. I don't have a bathtub anyway, so that rules that out.

God forbid laying myself over railway tracks or driving myself into and oncoming truck. Too much trauma for the other parties involved.

I wouldn't mind getting drunk and connecting the hose to the exhaust pipe of the car. But then some well-meaning person would probably find you before the job was done. Bloody hell, you'd wake up in hospital with do-gooders all over you.

Get drunk and jump overboard on a ship while it's in open waters? But then you'd cause a whole lot of problems with the ship having to stop and inconvenience passengers on a timetable.

An overdose of drugs? You'd have to have connections to the market. But would be nice to just go to sleep with sweet dreams and bye bye.

Hmmm...a while to go yet...

Have you ever been in a mind space where you wanted to kill yourself, Icy, or is your post just an academic exercise?

Yes, I have, She-el, and thanks for asking.

But when it comes down to it, I'm a survivor,

I could do it very easily ATM with drugs being on Targin for the Idiopathic Brachial Neuritis.
The Doctor only prescribes twenty eight days worth but if you crush them then they'd be instantly absorbed into the bloodstream

I've never worn -moccasins - anyway...

maybe that's why - my feet hurt - sometimes

I scored a second hand pair of moccasins and boy are they proving difficult to get used to.
Now it's hot they're going to have to wait for winter again to be stretched to size

I never had any until I moved to Victoria.
It's a lot colder than Adelaide in winter
