Suicide

I've been going through alot for me, i've
made a few posts about one part. I am
unemployed and not in college at this time
because I am getting maried in the fall
and am currently bouncing back and forth
between wv (where I live) and va (where I
will be moving). I have a lot of stress
to deal with other than this upcoming
surgery and now I just feel like ending it
all! I feel like all I am is a burden to
my loved ones and a financial stress. I
already took a couple sleeping pills and
am wondering if it wouldn't be better for
everyone involved if I took the rest.

Not a Good Idea

Not a good idea. You are depressed and
you need to realize your thoughts about
your friends and family and how life might
be easier for them with out you are
irrational. That is what depression does.
I know you feel like they are better off
without you and there is nothing I can say
that can change the way you feel but just
think logically for a second. Your
thoughts are irrational because in your
brain your nuerotransmitters are not
staying in synapses long enough to bind to
their receptors and open enough channels
to allow for the necessary ion flow so
that electrical signals can go from one
nerve cell to the next. Got that? I know
it is complicated physiology stuff but
realy all you need to know is that what
you are thinking is not correct, due to
the depression your thought process is not
functioning on a normal level. Anyway you
wouldn't be encaged if at least one person
didn't want you around. You need to go
see a doc. And get on some meds. They
help a ton. I have been there.

I know how you feel i've been there before
& i'm there now - but somewhere deep
inside I know as I pray you do that
suicide is not the answer. Taking a bunch
of pills right now seems such a good idea
- for me - but I love my family & i've
seen what a suicide does to those left
behind so if not for me then for them I
can not let myself take that path.
So I ask you to do the same, if not for
you then for those you love, who love you,
don't suicide. Please.

Thank You

Thank you all for the encouragment. It is
amazing how we might not know one another
and yet be able to comfort and help each
other. I was so overwhelmed yesterday
with the trip to the hospital, learning of
the costs, feeling that "this is real" in
the pit of my gut and having to deal with
everything else thrown at me. I put the
rest of the pills up and slept through the
rest of the day. I woke up to sunshine
and feeling so much lighter. I think my
brain was over-stressed and needed rest.
Again, thank you for being so kind.

Pushed Past Your Limit

You need to stop listening to society and
start taking notice of your own body and
soul . There are " comfort zones " and
if your life is in the balance you would
qualify for one of them free of charge .
Simply go to your local er and express to
the er doctor that you are now having "
ideas of suicide " and he wil send for a
" psych eval " this guy will call the
local behavoral clinic who will then take
you in " pro bono " . So if you 've
ever had someone in your life who have
really cared about you I want you to focus
on the things they used to tell you only
positive statements start hearing their
voice and believe that you can survive
this stressful situation that others ( and
you ) have gotten yourself into you will
recieve counseling about maybe getting out
of some of those stressful situations and
especially or stressful relationships don
't make anything else ( at least right now
) a priority ... Take a breather ...
Take a vacation ... Peace be with you

Be Careful About Ers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Please seek help if you are depressed or
suicidal but for heaven sake be cautious
about going to an er - all too often they
are staffed by overworked underqualified
morons who may push you over the edge fast
instaed of helping you in anyway.
See your local dr - or a counsellor -
someone who knows you, is preferably
trained or who will at least refer you to
someone who is trained & even then be
careful, too many so-called professionals
don't listen, don't take time & do
soooo much harm.

I am glad you are better pookiebear!
Take care of yourself and if these
feelings come back I would seek
counseling. Sometimes it helps to talk
things out.
P.S. If you go into an er and say that
you have suicidal thoughts they will lock
you up before you can say "just kidding"

I have had 2 suicide attempts and I am
telling you that is the wrong solution.
After being hospitalized I was diagnosed
as bipolar and thank god I got the right
meds and help I needed. Suicide is a very
selfish thing. You think it could end
your problems but you would leave behind a
trail of heartache to those who love you.
I see now what it did to my family. It
just about tore them apart. I put my mom
and dad through so much useless fear and
sadness. I have never seen my father cry
until he felt like there was nothing he
could do to help me. You need to get
help and get it fast.
