[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I got a second owi, did my time but am now a felon about to be homeless not entitled to section 8. I am going to kill myself because I have be shunned by society and am doing everyone a favor. I am the worst person on earth and I don't deserve to live anymore. That's what everyone tells me. I am looking for cyanide pills. Can anyone help? If not, I guess I can do the car in the garage thing.

I have decided not to talk to anyone about this anymore because everyone agrees that I should be homeless because I'm a felon, so please don't email me about the frickin' details. My life is over and I have accepted that. I'd try to make it on the streets, but I need medication to live.[/quote]

I posted earlier and wanted to come back to this thread. See, a random stranger somewhere thinks you are valuable enough to talk to, thinks you are a valuable person. Let's talk. I have a brother who I love more than life itself who has struggled with addiction for over 20 years. I can't tell you how many times he has been arrested. Starting with a DUI, ending when he was arrested in a burglary of a vacant home...he stole the copper plumbing to try and sell it for money for drugs.

I still love him. I will never stop loving him. He is a valuable person and a good human being. His life is so hard. I cannot solve it for him, but I still love him as much as I ever have. I worry that he, too, could contemplate suicide.

Please don't. There is someone out there - ME at least, and probably others - who wants you alive. Please call that hotline. ONLY YOU can get your life back together, but people can help and they will. There are programs to help you get your medication, programs to help you find and keep a job, places for you to stay temporarily, and there are programs to help you, long-term, find housing. Even if it seems sad to get help from strangers, remember that these are people who work with people who are struggling because they want to help people and because they have deep love for human beings. Let them help you.

Where are you located? We can help you look for employers who are felony-friendly. There are programs out there. I promise.

Hang in there, poster. [/quote]
