Not this time either.

( This post was written in the morning of Sunday July 23rd, after I had calmly ended my life, approximately 11 hours before. I can only vaguely remember writing it, and didn’t know ( by far ) the  full extent of what had happened to me, because I simply couldn’t remember any of the aftermath )

Trust me to employ a carer that has worked in paramedics. When she heard my altered breathing at 1am and investigated, she found me lying in blood sodden bed sheets.

I was apparently taken by the Air Ambulance, but i remember nothing at all.

For better or for worse, I am alive because of Stella’s actions. I certainly didn’t expect or want to wake up, not this time.

Am i glad I’m alive ? No, I’m not, but I do realise that a few other people don’t want me dead.

What rollercoaster I ride.

Im sorry though for taking a few others on the trip with me.

And for wasting such a valuable resource

  1. Russ,

    I read this message and it had a physical impact on me – not so much my blood running cold as it rushing to my head so I could feel it in my face and hear it pounding in my ears.

    I have no words.

    I feel the weight of your pain so acutely.

    I know you feel differently, but I am oh so glad your carer was there to save your life.

    You are so loved .

  2. Shocking read this time! Hope you’re recovering well, despite your own indifference! What was the problem?
