> This is so awful. It's the first Christmas I haven't spent with my mother, and I am acutely suicidal and there's no one I can turn to. I've tried, I've called friends to please help me, I've asked for specific things, for someone to spend an hour just being with me, or talk to me about somehting unrelated to the depression, but no one will do it. I just can't cope any more, and the local crisis line just keeps saying, "come into the hospital" which is not a good option. The county hospital is just a warehouse, no therepy, last time they locked me up there, I didn't eat at all while I was there, and no one noticed or did anything. They kept after me to "do this, do that, contribute to group, etc" and I was barely able to get out of bed, betweent he depresson and the not eating.
> Please, isn't there anything I can do? Can't anything help me? I don't watn to die, I just can't stand to live with this pain. help meI believe I can somewhat understand what you're going thru. The holidays always bring with them depression, for me. I don't really know why, given what this day (xmas) is suppose to celebrate!! I also don't have much family to celebrate with, and I usually feel alone too!! But, Racer you are wrong, you may be "miserable", but you are not "alone" !! I believe the previous responses are evidence of that, Peter himself offered to listen if you wanted to 'talk' some more.
So, why don't you tell us more!!!
My thoughts (and prayers) are with you !!
Hange in there!!!!
