I just wanted to add it's unfair to compare one persons suffering with another,I think that's typical of the Mental health stigma down the years.People will say think of those who have it worse than you,I think thats a very unfair thing to say.Because a person with a mental condition looks so fine on the outside,the inside suffering isn't felt by the other unless they know the exact pain.
With Mental health conditions for e.g you don't see the effects it has on the person on the outside apart from them looking quite down,unmotivated,disinterested etc.But sadly all too often these signs get bypassed by others obviously they may not understand,and put it down very likely to the sufferer just may not be interested,want's to be left alone,doesn't want to be bothered etc.
I understand in saying a person who is suicidal etc isn't in the best frame of mind,but also taking into account the persons suffering that they've endured themselves for such a period of time.For e.g when I was in hospital earlier on this year this 71 yr old woman said to me she has Bi Polar,chronic fatigue syndrome and I'm not to sure what else and if there was something else.She said to me I've been like this for 33 years and she said whats the point of me living?this isn't a life it's better off being dead.I didn't know what to say to her she had pretty much been going through this pain from the day I was born so to speak.
What I'm basically trying to say is that a person doesn't know exactly the pain another suffers,I don't and have never told anyone to go ahead with suicide but have shared exactly what they're going through.So as I see it and as it stands we don't know anothers pain unless we have walked in their shoes,and by this we never obviously will walk in another persons shoes.I do repect each persons pain as they should respect yours,it is very difficult but as I said one persons pain is their own private hell.
