This is a topic that is also close to my own heart.

I am bi-polar myself and know only to well that the services available are very lacking. Getting the intital help is the main problem in the first instance, you end up passed from pillar to post until someone takes ownership of the situation. Many mental health teams are ill equipped to deal with you and struggle to offer the support needed.

I have also lost several friends to suicide, it is devestating for those of us they leave behind, but I can totally accept that they feel there is nothing left to live for and that it is just to hard. They make a choice to end their suffering and we have to accept that it is their choice to make, heart breaking that it is. I have felt those familiar feelings of anger, and rage towards a dear friend who killed himself and just couldnt believe that he would leave me like that, but over time I realise it was about him and not me.
