So I had no clue what I was going write about, then I realized that Today is World Suicide Prevention Day, I know not my usual happy post but it is a very impotent topic especially for a field with as high a stress rate as veterinarians. With a higher attempt rate then the general public all over the world, and when a veterinarian attempts Suicide they will probably be successful, since they are trained to kill and use that skill set often. So today I would like to speak out about this problem however I don't have any direct experience, or training SO if You are reading this and are considering Suicide Please visit these sources or call the numbers below...or your local emergency services... or friends or family...

Now I just want to say a couple of things to people who might be the recipients of a Cry For Help, firstly if you think it might be cry for help respond Immediately Stop whatever you are doing and Respond it could save a life, second If you think something might be a Cry For Help, no matter how slight the chance or if it's just a nagging thought in the back of your head Respond, do it then, don't wait you might save a life. I would rather let someone know that I care and look paranoid or stupid then to risk not acting when it counts.
Okay I will leave the rest to the pros, Suffice it to say that if You feel like you can't contact anyone else (really they will be better at it) Email me! GetAwayWithVetSchool@gmail.com I will do my best to help.
