    World Suicide Prevention Day *triggers*

    Today is World Suicide Prevention Day, and I wondered if perhaps those of us who have been there could offer some words to those who are feeling suicidal now.

    My advice would be: Never lose hope. There is always a medication you haven't tried. There are always reasons to live, even if it's just that someone has to water your house plants or feed your fish. You are needed and valued in ways you have never considered. Don't give up.

    Your turn.....

    I'm lucky, I've never been that low - but I know that no matter what, there is always hope and always someone who cares.
    Do a little of something that makes you happy every day!

    this is tough love, which is not my usual stance, but my psychiatrist told me just before I was hospitalised that, if I did manage to commit suicide, she would be treating my children in 20 years time from the trauma of losing their mum. She made me realise that they needed me

    And, everytime I've said that there is no way back, someone finds a way .....
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    Anyone who knows me knows that I absolutely LOVE Doctor Who and this quote has always shouted at me...
