So my family is close to another family, my mum is close to their mum and im friends with the older sister but there is also a younger brother, only a couple years younger than me.

Now for the past couple of years he has had depression and in the past few months he had had suicidal thoughts and attempts, i had only ever heard of them, as now we drifted a bit cuz of uni.

now!

about an hour ago i read a facebook post, posted by him basically shouting at the world and giving up... it was heart breaking to say at the least but then i noticed he was going to attempt suicide again!!

I told my mum as fast as possible and she rang his mum, luckily he is ok! his mum found him with a bag over his head!..

but the thought... that if i hadnt seen that post and hadnt warned them.. his post was only posted 15 minutes before i had read it!...

It was scary and i really want to help him and get him out of this hole he is living...

My main point is that if any of you are like this or on the verge of being this way, please think about what is making you miserable and change it!! just change it!

if its so called 'friends' then ditch them and find better people!

If its family then move out and live with a friend or there are places you can stay like hostels until you figure out a more perminant settlment!

if its where you live and the life youre living then LEAVE!! travel! experience the good side of the world!

please dont kill yourselves... this doesnt make things better...

*goes and cries for an hour*

okay.. vent over
