i have this urge to write this article due to the alarming trend of suicidal cases among the elder generation.
Sadly, most of the time suicide awareness are widely discussed when
there are celebrities involved. But there are common people who does
that everyday, in some part of the world that are not noticeable to our
eyes.
I have experienced a live suicide when my neighbor took his
life when he found that he was diagnosis with cancer. So, he wrote a
letter to his sister saying that he doesn't want her to bare his cost of
treatment and prefer to take his own life. He get into his car and
connect the exhaust pipe inside the car and died of carbon monoxide. He
was 22 years old and it was like 20 years back.
Do i have
suicidal thoughts? Yes, it is like maze filled with lot of routes and
when you take the one with light , there will be a dark tunnel you need
to go thru. But once you successfully pass thru that route, another dark
route will appear which you think that's the end.
That's how
suicidal thoughts can be. Suicidal doesn't mean you need to have cancer,
doesn't mean you got everything in life, doesn't mean you are poor,
having hard time and you need to end your life. Doesn't mean you been
raped, robbed, ripped in life and that's it.
I went to the
internet today and the suicidal prevention shows that you need to
contact the counselors, befrienders or suicidal squads. There are
millions of tips to identify the sign of suicidal , prevention, how to
help a suicidal person. In my opinion, most suicidal people doesn't want
to talk about it because they might get judged by the society as
mentally ill, marked as depressed and etc. Some of them even thinks
talking to god about suicidal is not a good sign.
I have a young
friend who call me at the middle night , crying saying her grades are
bad and she need to end her life. I have a friend who i knew her entire
of my life called me and told that she feel suicidal and planning to
take her life with her children. I spoke to them about my experience and
they are surprised they are not alone in the world about the problems
they are facing.
When you are thinking that suicidal is an easy
solution, take a challenge to live and aspire others. You can be 10 or
60 years old, but there is always something you can do to make a living
or inspire someone to be a better person.
That's why i do a
bucket list like recently i have traveled alone to Japan to overcome my
anxiety. I want to do it alone and i made it. I thought planes are
frightening, i thought i can't do/manage things alone. I thought that
Japan will mark me as an alien. But i did that alone and i manage to
break that barrier.
Did you went thru the similar situation?
Yes, many times, many many many times! How did you overcome it? Whenever
i have these feelings, i remember the faggots who did bad things to me
and they still alive. So i thought i need to continue living to show
that i can live more than them!
Talk to people who you think you are comfortable with. Live to the fullest and live without expectations.
Live to aspire, not to expire!
