Wow, and I thought I was having a bad life! I have known that road of despair, when it seemed that there was "no way out" but the one-way-trip.
However, please belive me, unless you have a terminal illness, and have only months to live, and are in intractable pain, suicide solves ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! Geeze...if I had ever have acted out those thoughts during my low points.
Belive me, no matter HOW BAD you think things are, no matter how bleak your future may seem, you have NO WAY of knowing how your life may be in one, five ten years from now. What you need is the right Pdoc, and the right meds, and perhaps the right support group. But what you need first is someone to HELP you get there. There are people all throughout your circle of influence that would probably go to great lengths to help you if they knew you needed help. I know it may be hard to ask for that someone, but there are other organizations that can also help you. What do you have to lose by checking out one of the toll-free mental health hot lines, or even your county or ciy's local mental health office?
That you are able to function enough to post on the computer shows that A) you are not a comotose zombie B) you are intelligent enough to realize that you HAVE a problem and C) I think you really WOULD like to be better. I don't know how long you have been posting here, but even we humble folk in cyber-land can be of assistance. I have gotten some really heart-felt, compassionate responses from some of my "friends" here, as well as "strangers". You are making a cry for help. We here you. Tell us what you want. Ask us what you want to know. Address your worst fears, and see how many of us are or have been EXACTLY where you are now. There is always, ALWAYS hope.
