I read "Night Falls Fast" when it came out. At the time I was very suicidal, and I found that the book helped me a great deal. Kay Redfield Jamison is such a compassionate, intelligent person, and while the book tells some painful stories, the emphasis is strongly on prevention. I felt that the book helped me to understand why I was vulnerable to suicidal ideation, and helped me to support myself during that difficult time. I'm not sure how it would affect you, julesvox, but I was really glad I read it.
best,
mary
> has anyone read her new(ish) book on suicide, Night Falls Fast (1999)? i just bought it but have been nervous to read it, maybe because i've been doing well and am a little afraid. just wondering if anyone would recommend it.
