The nature of human experience in terms of thoughts and feelings is that they are constantly moving, often outside of our control. But sometimes we donā€™t see this and our skewed thinking makes us believe that weā€™ll be like this forever when this is not possible. Thatā€™s why suicide is really such a tragedy - a permanent ā€˜solutionā€™ to a temporary problem. This is also why, as you say, time is a healer.

That passage should be recited in schools instead of (or alongside) prayers. It can sound glib when people say about time being a healer, but it is so so true.

I hate this thread, I really do. My heart goes out to you @Thornhill. I donā€™t think thereā€™s many words that can help now other than, talk. Find someone and talk. Thatā€™s the key. Besides that, go easy and mind yourself.

The first thing to do is to find somebody to hug, and who will hug you. To cry to and cry with. Cry every tear that will come, and a lot will come.

The talk will come when it comes.

Every person needs a human blubber pillow. Crying alone is the worst and the most painful. Crying alone rarely happens because crying itself is mainly an interaction. Human interaction unlocks our thoughts and emotions.

But sometimes we just donā€™t know.

Thatā€™s horrific. R.I.P. to your friend.

I was chatting to a man a couple of days ago whose son committed suicide. He was saying he felt guilty for not finding him first but deep down he knew it was for the best. Heartbreaking listening to him.

Not often, they are always outside our control. You donā€™t decide what your next thought is, it just appears. Accepting that you have no control over your thoughts, and that they are not who you are and donā€™t have to identify with them, goes a long way to alleviate suffering. But not easy after a life of conditioning.

Thornhill, so sorry to read that. Please take care of yourself and reach out to others to help you through this.
