Mandy-
I have been in the same boat. Hospitalized three times in the last two years, twice after a drug overdose (one accidental, one intentional). The third time, I had called 911 to ask for the number to a suicide hotline. The operator called the cops - pretty embarassing.
I am doing better now, taking Seroquel, trying to stay away from drugs and alcohol. During my last hospital stay, I could not leave until the psychiatrist said I was ready to go home. I thought he was a jerk - he sat me down and said something like, "Congratulations, not only have you screwed up your own life, now your son will need therapy." He went on like that until I was crying and pleading with him to let me go so I could make it up to my family. I had been in so much pain, I never considered what my suicide would do to my husband and my child, both of whom I love dearly.
The next time you feel like you have nothing to live for, try to live for your loved ones. Consider what your death would do to them, the legacy of guilt and pain and loss that you are leaving for them. Try to remember the pain will pass.
