Good luck Julia

So next week my best friend who committed suicide would have been 20. It's a shame that she didn't know how many people loved her. She was so young and I wish she would have realized that she wasn't alone.

Elaine. I have a picture. It's of my arm still healing but it isn't bloody or that bad. http://yfrog.com/1sr9ooj

This is a really great group that many nerdfighters can relate too

By the way, they're a bit blurry since the scar is on my right arm and that's my dominant hand. And the stomach is just an awkward place to photograph. I picked the clearest ones out of the like 30 that I took.
Here, I put them on Photobucket so you can see if they're good enough and so you know I actually did it. :) I can send them in a different way if you want, just let me know. Here's the album: http://s41.photobucket.com/albums/e285/sunmono/For%20Elaine/

Again, I'm really sorry that they turned out so blurry. Hopefully you can still use them.

Elaine, where should I send the pictures?

It's ok Groov, just try your best and they will be able to tell.

Kinz none of that was rambling. You and Elaine revalidated a lot of what I was thinking.

I wish I had better reading between the lines skillz though.

Kinz- It'd be perfect actually. I may have to crop it a bit if you don't min, but so long as you are wearing a top and shorts, or somethin it'll be fine.
Thanks

Groovy-Also another Don't(sorry, but these are easier) Don't give ultimatums.
And When Kin says testing we don't do it to be diffiult, we often will really mean what we say right then, I do it to my boyfriend. I don't feel worthy of him and it's almost as if I try to save him from mself at those times. But part of me IS testing to see if I'll get abandoned because I know how to react to that.

Also don't condescend or lecture. Heh, I love how we're coming up with all these "don't"s... borne of experience I guess? For me they are anyway...

I'm struggling with the same issue of trying to help somebody who lives so far away that we can only communicate with a phone/computer. It's so frustrating when you can't give them a hug or hold them. (At least it is for me; she and I are both very physically affectionate people) I tell her "I love you" a lot and listen and try and comfort her, and tell her over and over that she is worth my time, and she's my world.

As a guy, you might not find that my methods really work for you but make absolutely sure to tell them that you won't leave them. And don't leave them, because that's one of the worst things you can do. So many people are scared off by things like depression and SI and it hurts. So if someone you trust can't handle it and leave you...
Even if they try and push you away, don't leave them. That's not to say don't give them their space- but make sure that you are still supporting them. A lot of the time we might be testing you, and if you leave you just validate our feelings that we're not worth it.

I don't know if all that blabbing made sense. I apologize if it didn't...

Maybe you could refer them here? I know that it often helps us to talk to people who do understand because they've been there- or are there.


Elaine- I'll take the picture tonight. I have to do it after my parents go to bed because they will freak out. Oh, and I forgot that I have quite visible ones on my stomach (shush, I never wear anything that shows my stomach anyway so I tend to forget about them unless I'm changing clothes or am in one of those moods). They're like on the level of my belly button so not in any really sketchy place. I could just have like that strip showing. I don't know if that's okay though...
