[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. I just left her room a little while ago. She is breathing on her own, and was able to talk when I was there (they took out the ventilator when she woke up.) I just wanted to crawl into that bed with her and fix her. I've always been able to fix what was broken and now I can't fix the person who is the center of my whole world. There is no logical reason why she survived. This is her 3rd attempt in a year, her first attempt while under psychiatric care/drug regiment. My son, I think, will be ok. I lied to him to keep her secret. I have people who are listening, who are trying to understand, but I find I just tuned them out today. I am crumbling under the weight of this all. [/quote]

we're here for you bro - though it might not sound like much. I think a lot about suicide often. This book really helped crystallize why I feel the way I do:

http://www.amazon.com/Why-People-Suicide-Thomas-Joiner/dp/0674025490

Joiner has written a lot about the subject and his work really helped me narrow down on exactly what's causing the way I feel so that I can mitigate and live for another day.

It might not be relevant to what you are going through but just wanted to post this[/quote]
