A young guy ended his life today that was in both my girls class, they are shattered poor things .suicide sucks balls . I have no answers for them .
Being a person that has contemplated suicide, planned it, even made a half arsed attempt at it. I’m also someone that knows deep down I could never do it.
The problem I faced was I was raised not to talk about my problems, bury the past move on and bottle it up. It’s only been the last 12 months that I have managed to find the courage to open up to a degree.
What I suggest( I’m not a trained professional so please ignore if you want) is to talk to your daughters and encourage them to talk. Let them know they are not alone, that no matter what the problems they face they are not alone.
When I’ve had them feelings, I felt isolated, the burdens getting heavier with the feeling of their being no other escape. some were of my own doing, others not.
A solution can be found with any problem, sometimes it takes courage to admit it to another person. IMO it’s when you feel that you can’t talk and open up and ask for help that you get caught up in the emotive of your issues, that you can’t find the logic in finding the solution to your problems. Asking for help can be difficult, it’s not failure to ask for help. What your really asking for is guidance in directing you to a solution. Hope I made some sense.
