Have you watched Vertical Lines on The Queer Network yet? This very special Queer from the Couch episode is a follow up to the challenging subject matter of suicide that is the focus of the film, co-written and co-staring Nick Neon and Kyle Reaume. Both creators sat down to sift through the comments shared, to shed more light on how this project came about, and how it’s being used as a conversation starter to discuss the difficult subject of suicide.

The film reminded me of myself because of self hate. Attempted suicide twice, both times failed. One might think I'd be saying thank goodness I failed. But exactly the opposite. I get angry that I failed.
Today, I'm 58 and will be 59 in two weeks. I've never told anyone this, but I still to this day think of suicide. I have my reasons. I loved and lost, but mostly lost. I keep myself isolated from people as much as possible. I think that's because when people look at me, it feels like theu can see inside of me, the parts that I hide. I'm only openly gay when I'm around people I don't give a damn about. Never had issues of being gay, but always felt I'm not good enough. Snd that's mostly me being social. I'm very awkward only because I feel like I don't fit and trying too hatd to fit. Always been relatively good looking and fit. Just not the mental compacity to feel confident. So now, at this age, i am very lonely. And no, not reaching out to organizations that think they can help. And yes, had years and years of therapy. Just only now, I'm waiting to die.
A brother died this time last year on Oct 11th of cancer. My Aunt, who was like a second mother my whole life died of natural causes this past Friday. Every time someone dies, i get angry because I wholly believe I should have died long befor them. So today, with my Aunt just passing, I'm having stronger feelings about why am I still alive. Altbough, i want to do the suicide thing, I'm not. Because my health is doing it for me. I just keep asking why the hell is it taking so damn long, especially when I do everything I can to let it go and not slow it down.
Shows like Verticle Lines always bring a tear to my eye. It was well written and showcased petfectly. Two people who attempted suicide but somehow now want to live. I always wanted to know what that feeling of wanting to live actually felt like.
