What I've Learned About Ptsd

[lostforgottensoul]

That said, I never called people who suicide selfish, above. I felt that I would be selfish if I did it, but that applied to me. It was my own perception about it at my own case. Didnt say that it applies at all cases. You are right, humiliating isn't the right word. It's tragic.

No, I didnt mean you said it was selfish, i was just saying that lots of people say that and it makes me mad. I was grouping selfish and humilitating as I read it the same.

Humilitating is not the right word. It is tragic and it is very hard for those you leave behind and since that doesnt enter my head, the song Hold On by Good Charolette with the suicide prevention additives on youtube is what i go to as it reminds you, people that are speaking on there is someone left behind.

But another word for humilitated is embarrased or embarassed by. That wouldnt be a very good thing to think of anyway.

Even those of us whom English is our first language finds it hard to find a word for something and thats ok. Wasnt really shaking a finger at you but rather advising.

@DeletedAccount I honestly don't feel that attempting suicide is humiliating. I've attempted many times and I'm not humiliated or ashamed because of it. It is what it is. When I get that bad that I want to take my life....... I could give a rats ass what anyone thinks. It's solely my decision.

Good thread @VikVikViktorious PTSD has its ups and downs, but at sometimes we hit the middle road and things look good for awhile. I do believe that WE are strong people given what we live with everyday. I also believe that even though many of us are short on patience at times, for the most part we are caring people.

This post triggered me and i wanted to leave the forum yesterday and i said @joeylittle to delete my account. But i came back and i will give it another try.

@Junebug , @lostforgottensoul, @She Cat excuse my use of this word didnt mean to say it like this. I meant that suicide is for sure an act when the person is at the maximum level of hopelessness, and its a tragic event. Its bad and whenever i heard that someone suicided it left me numb, way worse than hearing that someone died in a motor accident. Maybe it feels so bad because we who have been suicidal feel the pain of this person by hearing about their death.

Suicide is a taboo. As a taboo, people who havent felt that way maybe trigger you with their, maybe insulting, opinions about the issue. In no way i meant to be like that. After all, i have been there, and i will be too in the future.

Be good.

@PTSDisweird (aka deleted account). There was no need to apologize to me, as I wasn't offended by your post. I was just voicing my opinion. Yes, suicide is a difficult thing to talk about, because many people have been directly affected by it. Still, in my opinion it's a personal decision. I don't want to get into a discussion about it either.

@PTSDisweird, I appologize if I had a hand in making you feel like leaving the forum and you also have no reason to appologize to me as I also wasnt offended. I was just trying to find a better word for it is all and also expressing an opinion.

Again, I appologize if I made you feel that way. :hug:

Great observations @VikVikViktorious

Yes @PTSDisweird no offence taken from me, I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings. :(

 

[PTSDisweird]

@She Cat @Junebug @lostforgottensoul Dont apologize guys, the reason I left the forum wasnt what you were saying, it was just that suicide is a trigger for me, so no worries. :) Thanks for your kindness anyway. The reason I apologized is that I felt like I insulted people who suffer(ed) from suicidal ideation, which ofc was not my intention.

Hugs to you @PTSDisweird . :hug:

You wont live to feel it, but your loved ones, the people who knew you, all the people who will lis...

No. You will be remembered as the one they wish they could have stopped but didn't and now they are hating themselves because of it. All the what ifs never end. I know because my cousin took his life last year and I'm doing just that.
