Dear Emme,
Believe it or not, I was in the same situation just two weeks ago. I was so sure that life had no meaning, I took two bottles of sleeping pills in hopes of not waking up.
After they rushed me to the hospital and pumped my stomache, I landed in a mental hospital for over a week.
What did I learn? Look for a crumb. You have at least a crumb of hope out there. It could be a friend that you have isolated yourself from, it could be a pet, it could be that you are meant to help someone else. Look for the crumb it is there.
Once the crumb is found, you will start to see other crumbs. Be honest with yourself. The crumbs will start to appear. Gather them, cherish them.
The ultimate goal, of course is to build your crumbs into an entire sandwich of hope and comfort. I haven't gotten my sandwhich built, as of yet. BUT, I do know that it will come.
If you are having too hard of a time finding your first crumb or two, please, go to a hospital. The people there are trained in the art of crumb-finding. Nobody wants you to feel so desperate. There is hope and comfort out there for you.
Please post back to keep us imformed as to your progress. We know you can do it. Now it is time for you to know it, too.
