*** First off... I don't want to hear about the support I can get elsewhere ... about calling other support lines or reaching out to a professional ... we all know how that goes in this situation ***
I just want to be able to talk about this with no backlash ... I want to be able to hear from others that are dealing with this .. ***

Warning Difficult Topic
I am hoping that there are some families/ Members that are dealing with this .. when someone feels so down and out that they feel there is only one way out ..
its the painful conversations. trying to stay as calm as possible ... not get upset ( even though this is a very emotional conversation) have to assure them they are loved and wanted and would be missed.. the begging the sitting the not talking .. the tears, the fear, the feelings of worthlessness....
professionals are taught to guilt trip people into not doing it .. ie. how do you think your family will feel... your loved ones will miss you, how do you think they will feel, there is nothing on the other side... etc to deter them from going through with it.. I don't believe in that .. I do however believe in listening ... and letting them know that you are always there and keeping the doors of communication open so they know they can always talk about it ..
The hard part is when they are emotional and run out saying they are going to do it ... in my experience you cannot call anyone .. because police are called which can escalates the situation ... especially if the individual hates the cops or has been hurt by them in the past.. if they make it to the hospital than all they do is want to drug these people .. in prev experience ..
so in these times ... one is left to sit and listen to all the the scary things the individual needs to say .. when I say scary I mean that its hard to hear a loved one talk about how they feel this is the only way out..
I feel such emotional turmoil when this situations present themselves. I do journal and have friends that I can talk to but you don't' want to over burden others with all this info all the time.. so than its between you and the individual ... You try you best to be there.. you feel weak and out of control and that you cant' do anything to help them.. You sometimes out of pain or fear get angry or frustrated at the conversation ... and this isn't toward the person... its toward the topic and the sense of inability to help.
if this person will talk their way out of a situation with the medical community than you feel there is no where to turn .. its such a taboo topic no matter what social media events and things are going on .. its still hard to talk about due to the automatic hospitalization that comes with it ..
so I just wanted to open the conversation to others and see if we can start a room for support and open discussion with no judgement
