suicide in my life AGAIN

OMG--I'm so sorry to hear this Ravenladyj...I really don't know what to say, except my prayers and thoughts will be not only for your boyfriend but for you as well, since both of you need to have healings. (((hugs)))

he needs you at this moment. he may be so depressed that he almost took his life. maybe a professional help to give him some counselling will ease him out. God bless.

Just tell him…There’s always a tomorrow! Without saying knowing anything, I can understand how low his mental condition is for him to do this to himself and I know you would try to do whatever you can. I convey my best wishes to both of you, may you be each other’s strength in this dark hour.

huge hugs. thinking of you both can't really say more than that, just that I'm thinking of you, and wishing you both the strength to come out the other side of this together.

Oh my goodness RJ that is so sad. Desperation and depression makes one feel so incredibly helpless and out of control. Makes it difficult to point your thoughts in a direction that leads to a productive and happy life. I sincerely hope he gets some useful help. I'm sending healing and positive thoughts his way for a quick recovery from the injuries and for his mindset to be in a life loving mode. For you, stay positive hon. He's going to need love & support but also strength & direction. My best wishes to both of you, Craftcatcher

I'm not going to write screeds Raven. I have been close myself and known folk that went that way. Just know that P1key is thinking of you, your BF and your family and sending my love.

i'm so sorry to hear about what is happening to your bf... i hope he will be recovering soon... my thoughts and prayer go to you and your bf... please send him my best regards and i will pray for him to get well soon... i will pray for you as well... please be strong as you need to be strong to be able to support your bf through this difficult times... good luck... take care, have a nice day and may God always bless you and your family...

Ravenladyj, I just hope that your friend is recovering well in hospital and hope that he will make use of this time of rest to calm himself down. Your friend here is really facing the toughest time of his life here and I can understand his exact feelings here. This pain is indeed acute and he will need all the assurances and encouragements not only from you but his parents and siblings. In a nutshell, everyone may choose to look down on him but NOT his love ones. He needs that assurance, encouragement and motivation from you all to proof his changed ways. As for him, he needs to understand and accept that he will need to start from square one with a minus sign in front. So, he will need to prepare himself mentally for such "treatments" and "outlooks" from outsiders. I feel that families can help by giving extra help in getting a job for him. It could be some voluntary church work to begin with if full income ones aren't going to come by. At least, it would keep him preoccupied and find back his pace and self worth. It is at least better than for him to struggle alone looking for one and when he doesn't get it, regress back to his depressive mode. Tell him not to be too demanding with himself when he fails to get a job especially nowadays because there is a very bad economic recession. So, there are simply quite a lot of unemployed out there and he is facing a much more keen competition even if it is a low and mere gardening job. As a family member, just be firm and never demanding with his income earnings at least for now. Firm that you let him get himself preoccupied, even if it means odd or volunteer jobs. Last but not least, he will need some form of professional counseling especially during this period. So, if you can get your church counselors or pastoral staff to come visit him and pray with him - I am sure he will be experience the very God that will not leave and abandon him during this time of sufferings. Take care and have a nice day.
