please pray for my brother

Post by Candy »

URGENT:my brother (well, pretty much my brother, i think of him as my brother.)
I've been folowing him on xanga and facebook, and here are some of his posts:

well life has been kinda unstable here for me and well i messed up big time. on new years eve i tried to kill myself by dragging a knife down my wrist, luckily my frends stpped the bleeding and helped watch me, making sure i didnt get another knife or sharp object in my hand. i dont regret what i did, i wish it wouldnt have happened but i dont regret it. about a week later i did it agian and well my friends convinced me to get help... i went to portsmouth regional hospital an was put in the behavior helth unit (bhu) i am finally home after spending 10 days there, i was diagnosed with manic depression, meaning i have mood swings that go rom extreme happy to extreame depression. i am on some meds for that one. i also was diagnosed with schophrania- active. that basicall is that i hear voices in my head and see things that arnt really there. i have been like this for a few years now but was afraid of getting help... now that i have gotten help i feel better, well aslong as i take my meds... During my time there i met some wicked awesome people and that helped a lot. one of those people is a girl named teddi who was there for the same reasons i was, we are also interested in a lot of the same things and like me she is a theatre dork. i hung out with her and we talked a lot while there. she is staying the rest of the weekend but hopefully we can hang out next week. all in all..... i have some issues that i have been dealing wiht but now i kno what actions to take to help counteract the issues.
Where to begin, a lot has happened since i last wrote on here. i am now dating a lovely young lady named kari czermin, she makes me so happy. i have been in and out of the hospital due ot attempts at suicide because i have severe manic depression and schizophrania, it isnt fun. i am very optomistic about life right now, kari has been helping me wiht that. She knows about my mental condition yet she still cares about me and hasnt turnesd away from me, that really impressed me cuz almost everyone else i was friends with has turned against me since my diagnoses. my last hospital visit brought me closer to a lady named Sonya and i have been corresponding with her since i last got out. She is a very nice lady. I originally met her on my first visit to the hospital in january but got closer on this most recent visit.
he sounded like he was doing great there, that was in July. and now this was his most recent facebook status:
can someone give me 3 reasons to live or i will end it at 9 tonight i promise this
please Please PLEASE PLEASE pray!

I'd rather live as if there were a God, and found out there isn't, then to live as if there weren't a God, and find out there is.

Well, He came to our house for like 2 and a half weeks, and since that's like 10 states away, it was pretty awesome. He seemed fine. He got back home, and proposed to his girlfriend, she said yes, and they haven't set a date yet. He's So Happy. And I'm happy for him :)
