Mikey slashing his wrists
marshall:
My oldcomer tried to kill himself right after he graduated his program. He hadn't gone back to using drugs or hanging with his old friends or any of the usual seed-defined behaviours that might have caused one on their program to get started over.
Instead of slashing his wrists, one night he simply veered his car into the left lane and into an oncoming truck. He readily admitted that this was no accident, bur rather an attempted suicide. Amazingly, he survived this head-on collision on a highway near miami.
I think this sort of thing is much more common than many might believe among seed graduates. Since it reflected badly upon the seed, such cases were not spoken of openly.

Ya think?? Many of us had problems before ever coming into the Seed and left carrying the same burdens we came in with. Yes, the Seed gave me the tools but it was up to me to utilize them...or not. I'm so sorry for those who left this planet in pain, not knowing they were loved and "one of us".

You sure that was the reason you tried to slash your wrists so long ago.
Did you get pyshciatric care? Medical attention?
Were your parents notified?
holy crap, maybe this was more common than I thought....
I know that was the reason. It was in my mind at the time the easy way out. I would not have to admit to myself the kind of person that I had become. Like Robin stated this was a part of me way before I ever entered the Seed. They gave me the tools to change and it was up to me to do so.
I don't think my family found out abouth this happening of which I am glad. I did not require any medical attention. It was superficial.
I have had some tragedies in my life, but each time this is when I have learned alot and grown the most spriritually. I look at this as a learning experience in my life. I just thought that it might give others an insight into why someone may have done this.

I think anytime you hear of anyone attempting suicide it's very disturbing. I personally never heard of these events but my xwife did attempt suicide before and after our marriage not durring. Actually after we were divorced she went back to college got a degree. Finished top of her class. Then attempted. I don't know all the details we are not in touch. I've tried she does not want contact. I agree with Robin If you have problems and don't take the help- believe me she was under major psychiatric care. I did meet with some of her doctors. The truth is some people do not want to get well. I'm sorry to say.
I wish her well but thats all I can do.
GregFL:
there are more than a few St Pete seed graduates that died as obvious suicides or under questionable circumstances.
To the anon above, I am glad you were able to work thru it and we welcome your participation here. I do remember many people breaking off pieces of the wooden chairs and cutting their arms and/or wrists with them. Most often it resulted in a superficial wound...but not always. I remember one guy being come down on hard in bandages from it in St Pete.
The seed, if nothing more, had an obligation, a legal and moral obligation, to notify the parents of these suicide attempts so they could decide which direction to go. They never did to my best estimation.
