Things I really can't say

After you've made an attempt on you own life, you can never express frustration and unhappiness in quite the same way.  I can't say "I'd rather shoot myself than...." "I hate my life..." "kill me now..." or anything else that indicates a possible intent to self-harm.  Unless you want to see the eye twitch start going, or listen to the tense silence as your friends wonder if you mean it.  Do you mean it?  Should they be re-thinking the hospitalization thing?  Frankly it's just cruel.  Be nice to your friends and family - you really freaked them out.
