Accidentally

She slashed both of her wrists “accidentally” she says. Apparently she was a little drunk after five beers.
We are worried about her. Was this a failed attempt at suicide? Will she try it again?
There are so many days when we just want to end it, when we want to free ourselves from whatever’s trapping us inside. At times like these, no remedy seems to exist, no panacea, no pain reliever that would wipe out every bad feeling. At times like these, temporary solutions don’t come to mind.
But can we just end it? Wouldn’t that be selfish? Wouldn’t that be the easy way out?
Talk to them. Talk to them so they know they’re not alone, so they know they don’t have to suffer alone. Talk so that hopefully there won’t be a next time.
