You are reaching out....that's a good sign!!! :)
When I "wanted" to die, I reached out to people and asked for help. When people "plan" to die, they say nothing and just take action. Trying to commit suicide, to me, doesn't especially mean I want to die. I want the pain to go away. I want it to go away permanently, but there is something about this thing called life that I can't seem to shake. I have GOOD moments and BAD moments, and I just can't let the bad ones override the good ones. The good ones just feel too good.
In my situation, I asked for help on this board several years ago. I received GOOD and BAD feedback. What I learned is that I can weed the bad from the good and get the support/help I need to keep me going. That lesson then, and still today, is what keeps me alive. I can weed out the bad from the good in life, too. I'm certainly not always happy, but I'm not always depressed either. Simplistic...maybe...but I'm still alive. It's working for me.
My thoughts and prayers for you to find your way...to find any way...to thrive and not simply exists in this thing called life.
