Reply #11: That's true -- when at my lowest, I wasn't thinking clearly [View All]

I simply wanted out of the pain. What was so moving --
and instructive -- about your post was that it reminded
me that yet again of "the morning after" and the one after
that ... all the things I've not been thinking of when I just
wanted the pain to stop. I guess "self-centered" or "self-
absorbed" would probably be a better way to describe it,
because, if anything, a suicidal person really isn't
selfish ENOUGH -- when we get to that point, we aren't
really loving ourselves the way we should, and realizing
what a gift life CAN be.
