Suicide and a lost limb.

[stitchon]

Well, I have two stories to tell.

First, my friend stabbed herself to death using a knife.

Second, My uncle is losing is entire leg.


My friend had a very rough life, she lived with her aunt (who she hated) because her mom is dead and her dad is crazy, and she couldn't take sitting there being berated by her aunt any longer, so she ended it. She was so perky and loud when you saw her, you'd never tell she would ever think of it.


and My uncle was grabbing lawn chairs from his car when a car behind him doesn't step on the brakes in time, and crushes his right leg. They tried to save his knee, but couldn't. It's sad because he was always athletic, always doing some type of sport.

both were in weeks of each other.

Also, my psychiatrist is putting me on antidepressants due to how depressed I've become over how 2008 keeps getting worse and worse.

I am so sorry.. you have had a lot this year. Please take care of yourself as there is not a lot you can do right now to help your friend...so sad. And your Uncle, well hopefully if he needs some help, your family will step up and help him through this.

I'm so sorry about your uncle and friend one of my closest friends also committed suicide by the same ways except he also cut open his wrists this past saturday but try to let your situation bring you down they are in a better place now and i bet she knows how much you cared for her and still do. With your uncle, i'm very sorry to hear that. That must be very sad for him. You are in my prayers!

You have my sympathies and you are in my prayers. 2 1/2 years ago I resided outside of N.O. during Hurricane Katrina and I as well as everyone else in my family lost everything. Then I lost my health and my job. It took me quite some time to recover and some of my family is still in this process. My life was so much better before the Hurricane and it is a true struggle after it. I have taken many different depression/anxiety meds but to no avail. I find that I have to take control of my life and attempt to keep positive thoughts. When the problems of living today add up I have to pull my mind away from it. Go for a walk, play cards with a neighbor or child, turn that tv with all of its bad news off and have quiet time, keep a diary, speak your peace to GOD, go outside and dream about the stars - basically, steer your mind away from those negative things that bring your soul down.

Your friend was in a lot of pain to do what she did but she is not suffering here anymore. I am not of the belief that she has gone someplace horrible in her afterlife because of what she chose to do. God loves all of his children and he will forgive.

As for your Uncle, my dad lost his foot up till his knee last year due to his diabetes. He is much happier today and is doing fine, his health problems dragged out all of last year because of this. It did not take him long to adjust to the new leg and walk around well on it. People do take it at different paces but when he is in rehab they will push him heaviliy to walk as soon as he can. Pray and think those good thoughts and they will come a little at a time.

That is so sad. I'm glad you're getting help coping with this. I hope you have someone to talk to, in addition to taking antidepressants. You're in my prayers.
