Give Your Advice Please...

When I wrote the essay or story on "What could possibly make you take your own life...
I was only expressing my innermost feeling in respect of the subject...."suicide"
I wrote that piece based on what happened two block away from my apatrtment--where a man took his own life.
I didn't know someone would be touched after reading it.
I received an email from someone,far away in India, saying THANK YOU.
And I tell you what, I am more than elated.

Check this out:

...I have thought of suicide several times over and over again. Only one thing keeps me from jumping in front of a moving train. fear. the fear that i may not die. and what would become of me if i cannot attempt to take my vegetated life once again. the burden i would pose to others.
I was born epileptic and have been a disgrace to myself and family. i have no friends. this because most people think epilepsy is contagious. i have attempted to drown myself once even though i know going near the water is dangerous.
then you asked in your essay; what could possibly make you take your own life?
i don't have a life. and i don't have a future. at twenty seven i look like an eleven year old boy. i'm retarded and i also have this constant seizure at least twice a week. what are my living for. is it not better to die than live?
i may still jump one day in front of a train, but after reading your blog, i thought may be i have a life afterall.
i may just try and see it through...
Gurauv.

the power of the blog. that you can affect someone as far away as india. funny i've always thought the same thing. what would the would-be suicide person feel if they don't die at their attempt? morbid thoughts

great post
