Subject: BS: Some Good Thoughts For My Niece From: GUEST,Amergin Date: 16 Jan 13 - 04:08 PM My god, things are just going around, lately, aren't they? I haven't posted on these threads, but I still send my positive energy for good news for all these fine folks here who are having bad things happen...sigh. Please give some good thoughts for my beautiful 16 year old niece who is in a bad place right now...and her poor parents (both step and natural, and especially her poor mom) who are going through hell. Erin is my niece's name....and well, she swallowed a bunch of pain pills the other morning, and collapsed in school. She was unsuccessful, thank the gods of this world, but she is in the hospital, refusing to talk to anyone about why, and just saying she's sorry it didn't work. The hospital says that she has to stay there unless she starts talking to some one. They, obviously, don't want her to hurt herself again...and maybe succeed next time. She has been having a rough time of it, with severe headaches, and last summer had to have an operation to get a benign growth taken out of her head. She still suffers from headaches...but we do not know what triggered this. I am thinking a boy....probably an internet thing. But anyway, all I am asking for is some of that positive energy, positive thinking, to maybe help her see the light in the darkness, and maybe to ease the ache in her parents' hearts, to help them through this time... Thank you. |

Subject: RE: BS: Some Good Thoughts Needed Here, too. From: GUEST,Eliza Date: 16 Jan 13 - 04:39 PM So very sorry to read this Amergin. I feel sad for Erin and also all her family. Thank God (as you say) that she has survived and hopefully can now get help and counselling. Young people have so many pressures upon them these days. My niece too (Emily) tried to kill herself and like Erin did not succeed, thank goodness. Her mother (my sister) was frantic with worry and cannot understand why, as Emily (like your niece no doubt) is much loved and has a good relationship with her family. I send you best wishes from my heart, and sincere prayers for Erin. Will be thinking of her and you. Eliza x |

Subject: RE: BS: Some Good Thoughts Needed Here, too. From: kendall Date: 16 Jan 13 - 05:05 PM I don't believe in prayers, but I do believe in positive energy, and that must start in her. If she knows how much she is loved, and how many strangers here are pulling for her it might help. Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. |

Subject: RE: BS: Some Good Thoughts Needed Here, too. From: SINSULL Date: 16 Jan 13 - 07:36 PM Amergin, I am so sorry. My niece jumped out a second floor window to a concrete driveway and spent a year in a hospital with a broken pelvis and back. A long, sad story and she is still fragile today as she approaches 50. Be there for her. Let her know you love her. If she wants to talk, fine, If not, love her anyway. She'll find her way back if there are friends who love and listen and choose not to judge or pry. Best, Mary |

Subject: RE: BS: Some Good Thoughts Needed Here, too. From: catspaw49 Date: 16 Jan 13 - 08:46 PM Hi Nate....Old Friend, your family has a rough row to hoe and I'm sure you know it. You have every bit of the best and most positive I can pump out 'cause I've been there, done that with one of my boys. It can turn and go real right.....that's what you dream about......as it did with Michael who has become a pretty fine young man of 20 and doing well. So I send those kind of vibes to your entire family....and I'll keep 'em coming. You've always been a special part of this place for me. Glad we can help some now. Spaw |

Subject: RE: BS: Some Good Thoughts Needed Here, too. From: ChanteyLass Date: 16 Jan 13 - 10:02 PM Amergin, I will certainly add Erin to my list. I wish I'd seen this thread before I posted on Nigel Paterson's. I would have included her by name in that post. |

Subject: RE: BS: Some Good Thoughts Needed Here, too. From: VirginiaTam Date: 17 Jan 13 - 03:13 AM How dreadful that Erin is holding so fast to those private thoughts of self destruction. At 16 it is difficult to understand that bad times and bad feelings will pass. I am hoping that doctors are looking into biological causes of her despair. You said she has headaches and that she takes pain killers either or both of which can have mood altering effects. Also hoping that the sun will come out for Erin very soon. That her pain, physical and emotional, soon evaporate. |

Subject: RE: BS: Some Good Thoughts Needed Here, too. From: Ed T Date: 17 Jan 13 - 07:19 AM I have been through a similar, though less severe and shorter, situation (it involved a teen break up situation). During that time, I felt very helpless, like I was walking on thin ice and fearing where each step would lead. Though situations differ, what I have seen is most times those involved get over the hump, with the support and close attention of those who care - as in my experience. I sought professional help. I am not sure if it helped much, but I believe in searching out all avenues for those I care for and I see need my help. My good thoughts go your way. |

Subject: RE: Good Thoughts Needed Here, too.(Amergin's neice) From: GUEST,A regular Date: 17 Jan 13 - 10:22 AM Hi, Amergin. I've been thinking about this thread since you started it. It's tough, for sure. I wish I knew what makes life such an agony that a person would welcome the unknown of death, because after a serious attempt in which I took enough medication to kill your average horse I awoke with a headache that took three days to go away and I was still faced with a wish to complete the unfinished task. Now, as I get closer to death I find myself with things I need to finish, and life now seems too short. Talk about fucked up, huh? Your niece needs someone to listen to her and understand that she is in pain. She'll eventually talk about it. Just leave that door open for her. It's pretty much all you can do, and while it may seem little, it's lots. I'll write you off-thread. Keep your head up, buddy. |

Subject: RE: Good Thoughts Needed Here, too.(Amergin's neice) From: Amergin Date: 18 Jan 13 - 01:56 PM Sorry, I haven't responded. Between school, work, poetry, and photography, I have little time, anymore...not that I have been writing or shooting much these past few days. Anyway, she's still in there. Last I heard, still not talking, but then like other members of the family....she does have a stubborn streak. I offered to be an ear....but I doubt she would take me up on that. I'm that pain in the ass uncle who picks on his nieces and tries to sit on them....or put his bare feet in their face... Anyway, thank you all for your good thoughts and positive vibes! It is much needed right now. |

Subject: RE: Good Thoughts Needed Here, too.(Amergin's neice) From: ChanteyLass Date: 19 Jan 13 - 01:22 AM I hope Erin does talk to you, or if not to you, to someone. Or to at least two someones: a mental health professional and a person who loves her unconditionally. My good thoughts continue. |

Subject: RE: Good Thoughts Needed Here, too.(Amergin's neice) From: Amergin Date: 25 Jul 13 - 04:49 AM I want to apologise to everyone for no updates. I was extremely overwhelmed at the time...with school, work, this...writing stuff...and other things. I want to thank everyone for their thoughts and support. You are amazing. I want to let every one know that after a couple of weeks she was released. She is in amazing good spirits. I saw her a couple of weeks ago. She was talking and laughing, and a bit sunburned on the shoulder....so of course as the annoying jerky uncle, I kept touching it. Thank you again...and please forgive me. |
