you know what i just realized? i do think of this board as a family. i have been trying to look after myself, but it is proving to be just too hard. i think i am going to have to go back on meds. eating is a little better than before, but sleeping isn't improving at all. ya, we've had the last few days not too bad. it's only been about 22-27 celsius. we had some really hot days last week and it was nice to be near a lake. anyway, i am going to talk to my doctor about meds this next week and i'll let you know how that goes. thanks for still being here. luv jenna

Are you using the copy & paste method for the

images in yourmessage?

If not, try it. It's a lot easier and faster than HTML.

All you have to do is put your cursor over the

image, copy and than paste it in your message.

Later!

Hi there. The new posts work pretty much like Word. Hit enter twice after each line and you will get the spaces that you need.

Hope this helps cause I gotta go to bed to rest up for my Niagara trip.

Many blessings to all of you.

PS- When you edit than accept it leaves the post just as you did.

good night mar and have a good trip and chat soon.lots of luv .cathy

Sorry, I didn't realize it wouldn't all read. My son is going to commit suicide and we don't know how to stop him. We can't call the authorities because he will kill himself immediately if he sees cops coming near him. (He carries a knife with him so he can do it) He has tried to commit suicide once before, and it landed him in jail, then the hospital and court. That brought 6 months of screwing around and losing a potentially lucrative job that had written letters of support to the judge (they refused jail diversion for his mental illness). He ended up in financial ruin, can't find a job due to his record now and sees no hope for the future. We are, in a nutshell trying to keep him alive on a day to day and sometimes hour to hour basis. He is totally sure of his decision, and even asked us to be there when he takes the poison he has chosen to ingest. He has researched to most painless an quickest way to kill himself, and is now working on his funeral plans and 'getting his affairs in order'. Please don't mistake his telling us this for a 'cry for help', as he is very sure of what he is doing and will certainly go through with the suicide if we call for police assistance. And he will not go voluntarilly. My husband and I discussed drugging him and duct taping him to get him to the hospital, but my husband thinks we might be charged with kidnapping if we do that and we have other children to take care of too. (This son lives in his own home)

Can anyone help us?? Has anyone been through this???? Going through the "system" doesn't work. What can we do?? And if he gets to the hospital he is so damned good at making them think he is okay, they release him before he should be out....and then he will finish the job and laugh at all of us anyway! How can we save his life and teach him to survive it????

hI I JUST READ YOUR POSTHow old is your son ?because if he is old enough you can't make him stop even if you do duct tape him and take him to the hospital .As far as drugging him you will of course be charged if he is mad at you for keeping him alive and press charges if he wants to.As far as watching him poison himself,you will or could be charged if you let him do it and don't stop him .If he was in the hospital before why didn't they have an evaluation done because even a regular dr.can access him for suicide or even a pyhchiatrist too to see that he is at risk.And if he is well they wouldn't be that stupid and let him out so obviously they didn't do it then .I was wondering why he was put in jail?can't be for trying to committ suicide is it?If thats so how stupid is that government he should have been at least evaluated and maybe put in a mental hospital .i am by no means saying he is a freak i just mean that he might have had a better chance for help.i have posted what we went through with my daughter on the depression boards also but she is now 15 yrs old .i think it might be in the archives though and they can be read at least.How do you keep him alive well it is almost like a drug if tthey are not ready to have help well then they will only try again and if he loses your trust he will try anyway secretly.I have a feeling  it is a cry for help obviously because they normally don't say a word unless they want help lke my daughter.she tried but was scared and didn't follow through so we got  help for her.As far as him being convincing at the hospital you really should be pushing then and saying no he's not ok and have him evaluated .I f a phychiatrist finds that he is not computant to give a clear answer well they have that power to keep him in and i believe you can sign if you are his next of kin which you would be so did you try that route if you can get him there.I f you have not did you try staging an intervention that could be done too .You would have to find out more either here from DR.Phil by emailing and put as urgent or find out how to from your local health department because they should be able to advise you what approach to take.good luck and keep us posted.later cathy
