Firstly sorry for two blogs so close together but i wanted to write this while it was fresh in my mind! Just read somone elsee blog and they talk of losing a friend to suicide and it brought back a memory from back in 1990 when i was still trying to recover from my breakdown.
I was in support group for people trying to come off valium and other drugs in the same drug family, i was there as i had become addicted to sleeping tablets. It was a small group of about a dozen at most and run by a lovely lady named Jackie. One day i went to the meeting and as i went in everyone was crying and it was because Jackie had committed suicide. I had only been to her house the week before to help her move some furniture and while we knew she was finding having her valium stopped hard no one expected this☹ it made me so thankfull i had failed my own suicide attempt a few months before.
If anyone is feeling suicidal or suspects someone else is then please seek help!! Phoning the Samaritans can really help and i know i would probably not be here to write this without them!! No matter how hard life is or how much pain you feel suicide is never the answer!! Sorry if this has upset anyone❤
