Pause For Thought

Pause For Thought
From Sheridan Voysey, Writer and broadcaster:聽
Diana is a hair stylist and public health advocate. Chestnut hair, warm smile, she鈥檚 good at her job and caring towards others. She鈥檚 also a suicide attempt survivor. Hers is one of many stories I鈥檝e heard in preparation for today鈥擶orld Suicide Prevention Day. Having spent time on the end of a crisis line, I thought I knew a bit about the subject. But there was so much more for me to know. This week I鈥檝e learnt that most people contemplating suicide don鈥檛 want to end their lives so much as escape a moment of pain. This distinction is important. When the dark thoughts come they can be engulfing, leading someone to believe that things will never change.聽
But survivors like Diana tell us they can change鈥攁nd do. What鈥檚 needed in that moment is hope. I already knew that human connection can provide that hope. Whether calling the Samaritans or visiting a friend, talking with someone helps interrupt the darkness. What I needed to learn was that it鈥檚 OK to talk about suicide. I鈥檇 probably avoid the 鈥楽鈥� word with a vulnerable friend, fearing it might give them ideas, but survivors tell us it works the other way around. Asking someone if they鈥檙e feeling suicidal can give them permission to talk. If they do, I shouldn鈥檛 worry about saying the wrong thing either. My presence is what鈥檚 needed, not my 鈥榮olutions鈥�, and a simple 鈥楬ow can I help?鈥� will be OK.聽
Diana鈥檚 turning point came through a critical rescue鈥攖he circumstances of which she attributes to a Higher Power鈥攑lus a doctor unafraid of the 鈥楽鈥� word, and a good treatment programme. Four years ago she took the brave step of going public about being a suicide attempt survivor鈥攈elping others to know they鈥檙e not alone and proving things can get better. Diana is using her experience to help save lives. She says she鈥檚 found her calling. Which leads to another lesson I鈥檝e learnt this week: the very pain that takes someone to the brink can hold within it a new life purpose. Our darkest moments can be recycled to help others, which can be reason enough to fight for another day.
