Mecember Day 20

When I was younger and first had a suicide attempt happen in my immediate family and that same person also began mutilating them self, I had lost all and any respect for suicide and self-mutilation. It had greatly upset me that someone would do that. I even told that person to their face. I regret that and that way of thinking. That's not saying I condone suicide or self-mutilation in any way, shape, or form, just that I do not lose my respect for those people in that place. I was ignorant then. I guess I have respect for those who feel and think that way, but are still living. It is hard to understand, and I am sorry. All I can say is to remember you are loved and to think of those it will affect, whether it be friends, family, neighbors, or whoever finds you.
