Sorry, I've been out all day with my sister.
>>>>>>>It's like you're giving up hope on me.
I never once said that, and that's not what I meant to convey. I'm sorry you interpret it that way. It must be hard to feel sad.
>>>>I don't want to do the things needed to recover so I don't have hope.
Like you said, only you can decide what you do and do not want to do. If your decision makes you feel like you have no hope, then that must be a scary feeling. There is always hope when you look for it. I hope you can find what you need.
>>>>>Feel like killing myself now. Have no hope. :-( Sorry if I'm being dramatic.
I'm not a therapist myself so I don't really know how to deal with a statement like that except say that it must be frightening to feel that way. As far as being dramatic, only you can judge that for yourself. I'd never make a comment like that personally about someone else.
There are ways to cope with such feelings, and people to help. If you feel unsafe then I urge you to take care of yourself and go to the emergency.
[I haven't read the rest of the thread yet, so I apoligize if I'm being redundant here.]
