> Hi folks...I lost my little dog a week or so ago. I had told myself, once he goes, I am going too. I had enough of this life.. :( I have been coping bad...taking handfulls of Tylenol 3's, and handfulls of Lytica (mood stabalizer....feels good in high doses. O just want to kill the pain...too much damn life and death!!! Bit, I am going to the rehab clinic and going on Suboxone. Then I am going to get a kitten....then maybe a part-time jib. These are the bare threads I am hanging onto. I am 51...it's harder as you get o;der. Am I on the right track? Onr day at a time, and baby-steps? I lost a girlfriend, child, best friend (suicide) and then my parents 7 years ago.

> Jay (deeply, deeply, sad....)First of all, you should look at what you have already experienced. If you have ever been in this suicidal state before, then you know, one way or another, the worst of it will pass. Hopefully, you won't feel yourself being drawn towards suicide anymore. It will pass, I guarantee it. You might still feel crappy, but for now, crappy is better than feeling that suicide is inevitable. It's not. Try to keep your anxiety level as low as possible. Maybe you can figure out what thoughts are best to avoid or not take seriously. Avoid anxiety and thoughts that overwhelm you. Do things that either distract you from your negative thoughts or that genuinely put a smile on your face.
Easier said than done! I've done it, though.
Zyprexa, in my silly opinion, can be used as an emergency anti-suicide drug, but use it as a very temporary treatment strategy.

Some see things as they are and ask why.
I dream of things that never were and ask why not.The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.
