Hello,
Hope everyone is holding up all right!
The reason I am writing this today is something which is in our minds for three days now but no one's actually talking about it. The news is still reverberating in our minds, affecting us, reminding us of our own struggles but we still are not accepting it as our own.
Somewhere, our mind, our defense is still creating a difference between THEM AND US...THEM-who think about suicides and US-who don't. Maybe we might not entertain this idea, but can we 100% guarantee that our loved ones, our friends have never considered it too?
Suicide as a phenomenon, as a state, as an act has been very intimate to my life, a part of my life since my teenage years. It is one of the many reasons why I got into this profession. That is why, I also know how IMPOSSIBLY DIFFICULT it is in our society to even acknowledge it, forget talking about it. So, we just let it rest in our mind, simmering it, till that point comes when it boils up into flames and consumes us.
As a teacher I've always tried to create a healthy atmosphere in my classroom where people can engage in a dialogues, about anything and everything. And trust me when I say this, students of all age groups have come to me and said that, "Ma'am, we feel safe here, to talk all that we want to share but are apprehensive because in our college, or at workplace, or at home, nobody talks about these things. Nobody..."
It's the way of the world, I guess. And to a certain extent, it's valid too. However, there has to be at least THAT ONE PLACE where we can actually talk, even about the so called TABOO subjects.
Since Sunday, I am trying to engage in a dialogue with my family about this whole phenomenon of Suicide but to no avail. Either one member starts giving me the statistics of it, or other start telling me that how morbid I am and how I should let it go and move on. This made me wonder, that maybe like me, there might be many who feel the same, or want to say something but are not sure how will the other take it.
Hence, I am writing this post. I am trying to create an open dialogue about this whole concept of suicide and what it means to us, what we think about it. I SINCERELY REQUEST PEOPLE TO COME FORWARD AND WRITE IN THE COMMENT SECTION BELOW, WHATEVER IT IS THAT YOU FEEL AND THINK ABOUT SUICIDES AND LIFE AND DEATH. YOU CAN ALSO MESSAGE ME IF YOU WANT TO SAY SOMETHING BUT NOT IN PUBLIC.
ALL I AM TRYING IS TO CREATE A DIALOGUE...!!!
PLEASE SHARE THIS POST IN YOUR SOCIAL GROUPS. IT MIGHT GENUINELY HELP SOMEONE. TALKING ALWAYS HELPS! ALWAYS!

THANK YOU.

It's so hard to think, even so more hard to understand why one does this, what pushes the person to such extent... But one thing is for sure...unless we don't address this...we'll never actually know! Isn't it!
