SUICIDE AWARENESS & PREVENTION MODULE 2018<br />
1 st year.<br />
Mary: Did you have any idea that John was going to break up with you?<br />
Samantha: No, we had a great time this past weekend He never said anything. How could he do<br />
this to me?<br />
Mary: (silence)<br />
Samantha: I really love him <strong>and</strong> I can't live without him.<br />
Mary: Did you tell him that, Anne?<br />
Samantha: Yeah, but it didn't make any difference. He said it wasn't another girl, he just wanted<br />
to be free.<br />
Mary: What did that make you feel like?<br />
Samantha: Scared <strong>and</strong> angry!<br />
Mary: You must have felt pretty angry, huh?<br />
Samantha: I was furious, I haven't been that angry since my parent's divorce. Dad just left. He<br />
said he loved me, but I never see him anymore. Everyone I love ends up leaving me. I must be<br />
an awful person that no one can possibly love.<br />
Mary: First your father left <strong>and</strong> now John. Are you feeling like it's your fault?<br />
Samantha: Yeah, nobody cares about me, why shouldn't I kill myself?<br />
Mary: You said you tried to kill yourself last night. Tell me about it.<br />
Samantha: I took a bunch of pills. Sleeping pills, I think. I got really scared <strong>and</strong> made myself<br />
throw up.<br />
Mary: Do you really want to die?<br />
Samantha: No, but I can't st<strong>and</strong> this pain anymore. Why does everyone leave me? I feel so all<br />
alone.<br />
Mary: Have you talked to your mother about how you feel?<br />
Samantha: No, I couldn't do that to her. She has her own problems.<br />
Mary: What about your school counsellor, Mrs. Martel ? Or maybe Mr. Federicks?<br />
Samantha: No, I can't just go walking up to Mr. Federicks <strong>and</strong> tell him I'm thinking of killing<br />
