I've ...So much is just a matter of perspective. I've been in despair enough before to look at suicide as an option. I felt trapped in a situation & couldn't see my way out for a while. One day it dawned on me that I wasn't trapped, I could just walk away. <BR/><BR/>But, I have to say that I was responsible for staying in a bad situation as long as I did.concerned citizenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01935396158050893085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7010628715012863388.post-1467130518029574402008-11-17T07:03:00.000-06:002008-11-17T07:03:00.000-06:00Thank you for your visit"C.C.".When you say that"Y...Thank you for your visit"C.C.".When you say that"You dont have much at the moment,but it sure feel's good to be debt free..." Doesnt it!? that does feel good!<BR/><BR/>I am sorry to hear about your acquaintance,especially the part of leaving behind the 10 year old child.Because it will not leave the mind,but it can be dealt with and it fades some as time passes. It is important that the next elder explains to the child the situation.I have been through this myself,more than once. I dont like it,especially when it is someone dear to me,but I have to realize,there are many thing's I dont like..and the "reality" of the "condition". Maybe the "medicine" was the key factor to motivate this decision.The "money"factor can alway's be dealt with you see.As I have wrote in my earliest post's, this will of coarse rise with the level and effect of the condition. In the near future we will see more group suicide than before as well.I personally have NEVER felt to kill myself...I guess I never been in a position to actually need to consider it. But "well wishes" for your acquaintance's child.<BR/><BR/>My neighbor is a very sweet lady named Sue...she is a bleeding heart to a degree,and thought I was a lil harsh as I said on credit card holder's. But you see C.C. so much of our misery is brought on by our own action's.We alway's look for these "scapegoat's" to blame thing's on.All I am saying that if folks take the time to act a lil more responsible,some of this misery can be deleted is all.To be even a lil more frank...we sometimes act like little spoiled brat's as well.Some of us have gotten very soft too.Many of us never stop to think either...just how good we have it living in America,even low income folks here dont live too shabby..and many of us are far from going to bed hungry here..I know I certainly dont!<BR/><BR/>Thank you for you input.Ranch Chimphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14086251248546955720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7010628715012863388.post-47169803005569881572008-11-17T05:38:00.000-06:002008-11-17T05:38:00.000-06:00People are really stupid when it comes to credit c...People are really stupid when it comes to credit cards, I've been there myself & like you I bailed myself out. <BR/>I don't have much at the moment but it sure feels good to be debt free.<BR/><BR/>I've witnessed my first real tragedy of this economic crisis. An acquaintance of mine shot herself a few days ago. She was despondent over her financial situation, she couldn't pay her mortgage for one thing, she also had health issues & her insurance was changed to where she couldn't afford the medicine she needed. She'd been talking about killing herself but I figured something would come along to solve her problem. Apparently, she didn't think that was going to happen & realistically I don't know what could of solved her dilemma. I guess she doesn't have to worry about it now, except she did leave behind a 10 year old child, who has to live with it.<BR/>I suspect hers is not an isolated case. I wonder if the suicide rate in the US has gone up lately?concerned citizenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01935396158050893085noreply@blogger.com
