Guns don't kill people ....

[Sundae]

If I'd had access to a gun during my lowest moments I think I would have committed suicide.
Not suggesting it as a reason for gun control, just saying what I think.

When I went to counselling the PSO asked how I invisaged suicide. Shooting myself under my right jaw. I would even probe the spot while imagining it. I must have seen it somewhere when a person was being held hostage - I have no idea if it is an effective spot, but it was very real to me.

It was very reassuring to the PSO; despite counting as suicidal thoughts it was still a suicidal fantasy, given that I had no way of acquiring a gun. At that stage I couldn't even use a phone (I had special dispensation to make walk-in appointments, turning up after a 1.5m walk).

Do you have any restrictions on over the counter drugs commonly used in suicides?
We do.

You can go to every pharmacy in town and buy the maximum allowable of course, but it is hoped that by the time you have queued up behind the methadone patients and the old giffers querying why their their tablets are a different colour, and the women with screaming babies, you will realise that some people have it worse than you.
