Found out a close friend/co-worker of mine has tried to commit suicide, thankfully she didn't succeed. A few things caused her pain like being written up for something so stupid, worrying about her mom out in South Carolina. Her mom has diabetes and doesn't always take care of herself properly. The final thing that sent her over the edge was her boyfriend of 26 years broke up with her. He had proposed to her, but he lives in New York. He wants her to move back out there. She told him she can't just yet, she moved out here to take care of her God-daughter. Guess he got tired of waiting and decided to just put an end to it, ugh! That hit her so hard, she just didn't want to live anymore.
I felt so bad that she didn't call me first. Now she's under close watch with her doctors and her family. I have no idea when she'll return to work, if ever. I just feel so bad for her, I know that kind of pain, it's horrible! I myself can't imagine getting to the point of suicide, but I'll admit to having that hopeless feeling and not wanting to feel anything anymore. Anyone ever see that movie with Jim Carrey, "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind?" You can have your mind erased of a relationship so you no longer feel the pain. That would be better than death.
I told my friend I'm here when she needs to talk. That's all I can do, be a good friend and hope she gets through this.
