Guest guest Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 Hello all, I'm an avid reader, but a rare poster with a big request for anyone able and willing. My brother-in-law is thinking of taking his life and I am asking everyone I know to pray, send Reiki, positive thoughts whatever it is you know for him. His name is Don and he is on pain pills and anti-depressants. My cousin was on a similar cocktail two years ago when he shot himself so this is very hard to watch. Thank You.

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 I'm so sorry about your bil. Having dealt with suicide several times with people and have been through my own mental issues, unfortunately, it is going to be very difficult. First of all, the drugs themselves are a big cause for these feelings. I know three days of taking Paxil sent me into suddenly wanting to do myself in as well. If there is some way you can help teach him to discern between his true feelings and feelings that occurred after the medication, it may help him to make some choices as to getting off the medication and finding a more natural remedy. I did far better off the drugs than I did on them and with Reiki and other natural therapies, I was able to basically heal myself. These drugs are not good and doctors do not yet know enough about seratonian and controlling that area of the brain with a synthetic drug. There are natural alternatives such as L-Tyrosine, 5- HTP. Good counsel from a naturalpathic doctor could help with this. Once a person decides they are going to do it, they are in that downward spiral and there is little you can do to sway them. They feel like they will never feel better again and they have to understand that they will have to brave the storm and endure the darkness until the light shines again. It takes great courage to do that because there's nothing different waiting for him on the other side from what I've seen which was sent to me in a dream when my daughter's pediatrician committed suicide. I hope he can make the right decision. Michele , " paintedgoatfarm " <paintedgoatfarm wrote: > > Hello all, I'm an avid reader, but a rare poster with a big request for > anyone able and willing.

Guest guest Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 My heart aches for you and the family. My brother was diagnosed Bipolar and manic depressive some years ago and doctors " and I use that term very loosely " gave him strong medications to try and control this behavior. Oxicontin and Vicadin and valium for starters. " He became so dependent on these drugs that he began to Doctor shop and soon was seeing five different doctors who were prescribing the same medications. He was of a mind set that if one was good then 10 or 12 were better. He would go through a months prescription in 1 week but because of the carelessness of Dr's in this particular Kentucky county he had 4 more prescriptions waiting in the wings. He has come so close to killing himself many times and when he couldn't any longer get the amount of drugs that he then needed to maintain what had now become a full blown addiction legally, he began manufacturing his our Meth. He almost lost his arm from shooting this stuff into his body And has been into and out of more drug rehab programs than I have fingers and toes. He has been on this on again off again spiral for more years than I can count and Nothing and I do mean nothing that anyone has said to him has stayed with him for long. It's the old " You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink it " syndrome. For years, I beat myself up because I couldn't reach my youngest brother and make him see what he was doing to himself. When my mom passed away, almost 2 years ago, It finally dawned on me that he is not a little boy anymore. He is a grown man that has learned through the years to work the system so well that he has never been made to stand accountable for his actions. Do I hate him......NO..... I do love him as he is my brother but I can't help him. I have had to remove myself from his world. To many years and too much pain. I keep him and his family in my prayers, yes he is married with two children, his son has followed in his footsteps and at the young age of 22, has ruined his health and his life doing exactly what he has seen his father doing for years. He has had open heart surgery twice for damage he has done to the heart valves and almost lost his leg from drug use and abuse. How sad. I so hope that someone can get through to Don before he does do something that is irreversible. Life is to precious and fleeting to waste it. You will all be in my thoughts and prayers.
