I have decided to conclude with something I can only describe as the redoubt position. As strange as it may seem
this really does work.
A friend of mine confided in me that when going through a suicidal crisis she had kept a bottle of tablets in her bedside
cabinet.
Knowing it was there actually helped her to cope. Being aware that she had the means to "exit" readily at hand if
things got too much for her. Really helped her to survive.
I have heard similar accounts from other survivors too.
The redoubt position
Put very simply the "redoubt" position consists of the following
- If the worst comes to the worst...
- Accept that you WILL take your own life...
- But PLEASE NOTE...
- The following condition is all-important and must be adhered to...
- Your suicide will NOT be today.
- Live just one day at a time.
- Only one thing is important and that is...
- To survive today
- Only surviving today matters
- Day after day until the crisis has passed
- That is the redoubt position.
