I Know This Is A Tough Question But Have You Ever Tried To Or Thought About Taking Your Own Life? What Stopped You?

It is so sad to hear of anyone taking there own life. I believe in two things: Giving up is not an option & My twin brother died from complications due to Aids, but not by his own hands. So I believe if I was to take my own life I wouldn't end up in the same place as him. And some days those are the only two things keeping me alive. In closing: Don't give up before the Miracle Happens. God Bless Us All
@A myHIVteam Member Ketamine is a pretty intense anesthesia. As a doctor we have used such for chronic pain but there are many dangers to this drug. I am now reading about infusion therapy for depression. Thank you for bringing this to attention
The year was 1996. I live in Canada. When I found out I was Poz. I planned a trip to the states to San Francisco. I stayed at the YMCA. I gone to the showers to start my day. Sat in the steam room. Then I was going head to the Golden gate bridge throw my ID off the the side with me right behind it, but I meet my great friend Walter who invited me to go out with him for lunch.. So I changed my mind about going for that walk to the bridge. I met up with Walter for lunch. We talked about everything. He came out being HIV positive. Like it was nothing. So I started to cry. He asked me why am I crying. I told him. I was feeling I was alone. Because at this time my family didn't want to have nothing to do with me. Whole reason why I was going jump. But Walter changed my mind. Because he said you can live long live.. So 21 years later I thank you Walter for saving my life. Till this day I am glad to have amazing friends and family around me. You never know who your gardening angels are. 😀
