Your Mental Health

Sorry for your loss.
I feel guilty now over the comment above. What if there's no phone call? That emotional shit does not help at all

Correct boy but it’s not a matter of if but when

Sorry for your loss.

now in hindsight and years later I realise that there’s nothing one can do really
If someone wants to harm themselves or OD they will
Know it sounds harsh but my personal opinion is that anyone putting a needle in their arm is actually trying to end the misery and it’s a kind of suicide

Ya. I noticed this in the last few months.. A fuck load of drug seizures every week.

One of two things:

Either the guards have snoops or there is a massive appetite.

AGS can’t cope
Most low level addicts arrested do drop names but it’s like trying to hold back the tide
We’re in the middle of a serious drug problem and we’re ( Ireland) not doing enough ref wet centre’s etc
Between alcohol and drugs our young face horrendous life choices

Never feel guilty by airing an honest opinion
I know I get loads wrong throughout my life but I never voice anything dishonest

I know that but that's more emotional blackmail. I'm going to die soon etc.
It's an awful lot to deal with

It is, but I meant not getting a call because they're not there anymore.
It must be a difficult decision to help them by not helping them.

It's not that. Ultimately only they can help themselves.

You can only do so much other than hope they have a moment of clarity.

Their body. Their mind. Not yours.

If someone wants to kill themselves slowly there's nothing anyone can do.

consigned... Finally got it right.

Hangover from the brain injury. I was determined NOT to Google it.!

If someone wants to kill themselves slowly there's nothing anyone can do.

But I'd argue they do not want to kill themselves, that it's primarily an addiction. The addiction probably started by trying to block something else out.
Surely that's where you start looking at the problem from.

Have you ever lost someone to addiction, had a relationship with an addict or had someone you were close to destroy themselves? I'm not qualified to help addicts. They drag everyone down around them. My ex was an alcoholic as well.
They don't listen to reason. They turn it against you.

Either that or life circumstances that they can't cope with, could be family, finance or work related.

You can't sit back and let it play out if there are children involved, they must be protected.
