ASIST

On one of the depression/bipolar blogs that I read there was a post about ASIST (Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training). Carm took this training when I was first diagnosed and found it to be an excellent course, and thought that everyone should take it. Almost everyone comes in contact with someone with a mental illness, often someone in their family or a close friend. Isn’t it a good idea to be prepared?

Here’s a link to that post.

I read a realy good suggestion the other day. IF POSSIBLE, anyone wanting to commit sucide should wait three days. You will be dead forever, three days more of life isn't to long to wait.

This is also good for contiplating any drastic measure. If you want to run away from home, wait three days. If you want to file for divorce, wait three days.

Can't hurt!
