Reaching Out

lheaton

I was thinking this weekend about how I would reach out to someone if I truly felt low enough to consider suicide. It wasn't something I wanted to post on fb. If I asked the person I'm interested in, he'd just run for the hills. So, I kept it to myself. Then, last night, I got a frantic text from a friend that he thought he was at the breaking point - suicide. I texted him back, but no response so I called. No answer. Just as I was about to run to his house, he called back - thank God! I guess my point is that we all have hopeless moments and where I didn't reach out to anyone, I'm so glad he did. Please don't face those moments alone. Even if it's a toll free #, please reach out to someone: 1-800-SUICIDE.
