After calling 911, I explained to him it was an accident, that is why they call them accidents...... whatever. I was trying to calm him down, thinking he had passengers, as other drivers showed up wanting to pull the people in the car out. There were no people in the car - he told me he tried to commit suicide. He cried in my arms until the ambulance arrived, just a youngster - I can't figure out why - why someone with their whole life ahead would do that. I threw up afterwards. Suicide is not a joking matter - not at all. I don't see anything political about it but whatever.



It is political. It's also a social and cultural thing. All of it being tied together. Therapists that tell others that suicide, or having suicidal thoughts are the cowards way out, all they do is further isolate people in need. Truth is, the most courageous actions I've ever seen anyone take, is admitting in public they had struggles with depression and suicide. And more importantly, that they sought professional help. Or should I say, they sought help from competent professionals.

People who are ready to kill themselves can be frighteningly quiet and passive. The cold and darkness that has engulfed them will sometimes spill over and touch those who linger within an intimate distance. They live in a place without heat, and where they feel no person can quit reach out and touch them. Hell is not fire, it is not screaming and wailing of millions of souls. Hell is a quiet, black void, where no soft warm hands will ever reach out for yours. Now wake up after 3 hours of sleep feeling that way every single morning for 6 months. That is what suicidal depression feels like. It has nothing to do with being brave or being a coward.

And people like Aix who talk out of both sides of their narrow little mouths offend me with their ignorant attitudes. The sum of their ignorance makes it harder for people to get real help. Andrea Yates killed her kids because she was married to someone just like Aix. Yea it makes me mad.

I don't know how Aix has time to be a part time therapist, part time taxidermist, and full time dipchit. That's a full load to carry in the back of those britches.
