PLEASE SUICIDE IS NEVER AN OPTION

As a matter of principle I never get to meet with my clients one on one and phone calls are not allowed because the counseling service is free and I wouldn't want to incur any form of extra expenses on either myself or on my client so we limit it to BBM chats and I can say that over 90% of my people are cool with the arrangement. We still have our chat times and issues are resolved after on chats. Praise God.

Yesterday I got a ping from one of my BBM Family members saying that she was tired of living and wanted to end it all. She is a big girl by all standard but fighting rejection and hate from a loved one.
At first I tried to talk her out of it but she was blank and complete cold on me. I kept pinging and she won't respond. I got worried and pleaded with her on BBM to send me her phone number which she did after a long while. Thank God. 


Once I got the number I quickly called her but initially she didn't pick then I sent her an SMS after which she picked and damn, she was wailing seriously. I asked her where she was and she said she lives alone somewhere here in Lagos.

I hopped into my car and drove all the way to her place even though I was scared for my own life. When I got there she had liquid in a bottle which she told me was acid and that she wanted to drink it and die. I panicked initially but later summed up courage to talk to her. Initially I was talking quietly, gently and subtly but it got to a point I lost it and yelled at her telling her some home truth. If you kill yourself for this guy who is not worth a piece of akara, what happens to your aged mom, dad and siblings who you love so much? And this is a very, as in, extremely beautiful girl.... Devil is a big stupid liar oooooo...

I think the scolding helped the situation as she cried some more and then calmed down and finally went outside to disposed of the chemical she had in her hands. I managed to check her into her company clinic and the doctors say they would take care of her.

Anyway, tomorrow I am going to see her and speak to her some more.

I am brave ohhhh.... I actually do feel like a hero lol.  Pheeeeeww. I hail myself lol. I was dead scared because this was the highest point for me. Infact one mind asked me to turn back and go home. I'm glad I ignored it.

​Please I beg you in the name of God Almighty, Suicide is not and would NEVER be an option. And the type of mindset that accompanies this type of statement needs to be changed immediately. Reset your mind. If possible re format your brain.

Do not delay. Take a step back and analyze your thinking. What is really going on in your mind? What kind of self-talk do you engage in?

Do you say to yourself: "Suicide is always an option"? or "I can always kill myself if I need to"? or "If things don't get better, I'll kill myself"?
If your thinking is even close to that, then please get help and fast. The sooner you get help, the better.
Please depression, rejection, frustration etc can all contribute to this ugly idea. Be honest with yourself. If you need help, get it. And get it now. People love you and would never want you dead so please if you feel you need someone talk to, please talk to somebody close to you and if you don't have anyone to talk to or to confide in, I am here for you. My PIN number is still 2B4FDC77. Please add me up and let's talk about anything and everything bogging you ok?

And please remember that suicide is NEVER, under any circumstances, an option.

If you or someone you know is suicidal, please raise alarm.

​love you and take care of you

Muna....
