Because I am an insomniac and know many other insomniacs, and, know not all of it is because they are more creative at night. Because many times that insomnia is due to stress, and hopeless feelings. Because Thursday September 18th was my dad's birthday. Because Wednesday September 10th was Suicide Prevention Day and that week was National Suicide Prevention Week. Because someone out there up tonight might need this.

Hot on the heels of Robin Williams committing suicide (which hit me really hard actually, I really loved that dude and all kinds of emotions are coming up, but that's a post I really want to get into later tonight) I am told by someone close to me that they want to kill themselves. I pass along the suicide prevention hotline number and make them call it while I go shave cause I have to leave for work in 30 fucking minutes.
What did they say? I ask as I re-enter my living room.
"You know I'm not actually going to kill myself, right?"
Um, no, no I don't. And my dad is dead because of this and this person knows it's not a joke and really EVERYONE should know it's not a joke and it's REALLY not a joke with me and I WILL have your ass 5150ed so don't fuck around.
Assholes.
If you talk about killing yourself and you are "not really going to do it" or "I'm just venting" you're an asshole. Plain and simple. Asshole.
And you know what else? You are the reason suicide is not taken more seriously and the people that really need help don't get it cause you make other people think "oh, they won't actually do it, they are just venting. They don't actually need help."
So, there ya go, you're a double asshole. Good job. Grow the fuck up asshole.
