To Die or not to Die.

Story from nhs.uk

"To Die or not to Die."

Having been suffering from depression and suicidal tendencies for the last 8-9 years, I had a very polite young lady speaking to me over the phone. When I told her the method I was considering to use to end my life you could hear her panic over the phone. I am getting on in my life and I appreciate there are different levels of depression and I feel when I hear others discuss their problems there are numerous levels of depression and this “Talking Therapy” is a good idea from the NHS but it’s without any doubt the cheaper option. It is not good for Suicidal ithreats.
