I think I'm right in saying that the 'cry for help' notion of this type of suicide attempt doesn't mean they're not serious. In other words, just because they've tried a number of times, doesn't mean they're unlikely to be 'successful' at some point. It's a difficult subject. Characters like Janice can present at A&E over a few years - despite the involvement of all sorts of psychiatric help. From our point of view it's one of those things where we bandage the cuts, make a note of the type & time of OD, convey to hospital - and hope that some other, more lasting solution can be found. <br /><br />I suppose in this piece I was just struck by the difference between Janice and her slow, contemplative slide, and the awful brutality of the guy in the tree.Spence Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11183848895584919812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27691111.post-37430871636612023082012-09-17T12:04:08.005+00:002012-09-17T12:04:08.005+00:00Nothing to be done for the ones that don't wan...Nothing to be done for the ones that don't want to be found,but those that do,do they go in and out of A&E like Janice?<br /><br />jacksofbuxtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05420847156401984373noreply@blogger.com
