The first time I attempted, I od'd on pills. When the symptoms became obvious to my severely depressed Mom who couldn't get out of bed, I lay down beside her. She asked softly if I wanted her to call for an ambulance, and I softly said no. I'm surprised either of us lived to tell about it.

The last time was even weirder, but that's a story for another day.

People either can't or don't know how to respond correctly in this situation, especially because it is so peculiar to the individuals involved. *We* don't even know what we want or need at these times. So there's always going to be an under-reaction or an over-reaction, always. ❤️‍🩹

It's a cluster f***. As I mentioned in an earlier post, 4 years ago, I was severly depressed about losing a job and I needed to be admitted, but because I said no to those questions, I wasn't sick enough I guess....still upsets me to this day....they need to look beyond those damn questions...

Nope

I have never had this experience. I am so sorry that you went through this. I know that it is difficult to stand up against depressive feelings. However please know that Jesus loves you and died on the cross for you!!
