Oh Dinah.
((((Dinah))))
I don't know what to say as I too am in this boat with you. Feeling like the boat is sinking. Laid in bed last night fantasizing about different ways to kill myself. Even decided who I would want to take care of my dogs. Have thought about finding them a new home now because I can't really afford to take care of them and it breaks my heart. I mean, they're fed and walked and loved, but they need their shots and so on and I'm just not able to do that right now.
However, as Fallsfall so poignantly pointed out to me in my "freaking out" thread above:
>The reason you should live is that you are a valuable human being.
>Now you need to figure out how to make your life bearable. Instead of thinking about how you will kill yourself, you need to think how you will live.
Dinah, we both need to take that advice. It's going to be really really hard, and the choices are limited and unsavory, but we aren't the first to pull ourselves up from the Pit and we won't be the last.
Find something to hang on to.
