>>how do you know for sure when it is time?
similarly said, when you can no longer take care of yourself or suicide is right infront of you.
for me i was just fine one morning even had a pdoc appt. i told him i was really thinking a lot about suicide and he calmly said "well, when you feel like that just call someone". he said it about three times, but casual like. well by 4:00 i was at work, clutching a knife already making a small cut on my wrist and layed out all my pill bottles, crying hysterically and all i could think was when he told me to just call someone that i have NO ONE to call, so i picked up the phone and called him. luckily he was there and told me to go to the ER. i then called a friend (my one real friend) he came to my office saw what was going on and drove me to the ER. he was wonderful. i was very lucky.
Please don't let it wait too long. i was lucky that my pdoc answered my call, i was lucky my friend was in his office when i called, i was lucky he drove me. had all these things not fallen into place i know at 99.5% i would be dead at this time.
Please it's better to be safe than sorry(or dead).over all it's probably one of the BEST things i've ever done for myself, and don't regret one day there.
Do what you need to do for you!
please take care.
