hi B2,
I haven't posted in a while but I needed to write and say that I think you're a lovely person...and that you really, really should NOT hurt yourself now or in Feb. or ever. I'm hopeful for you that some part of you does NOT really intend to carry out your threat...by giving yourself a "due date" you also give yourself plenty of time to get help and work thru it.Remember that the holidays can be horribly stessful even for people who don't suffer from depression or other illnesses...be kind to yourself and give yourself a break!
I know that my words don't have the power to really help you, but I hope -- and believe you WILL -- find the strength and courage to go on and get the help you deserve. I also bet you'll feel a LOT better on jan 2nd when all the hubbub is over and we can all go back to being "normal" and not stressing about the holidays and the huge burden of ringing in a new year.
Anyway, I think you're a cool person and I believe you will find the courage and love for yourself that will help you get back to a happier place. My thoughts are with you! Have a happy and safe holiday...and please write again and tell us all how you're doing.
take care!
JenStarPS - please, never worry that your messages might trigger someone else. It's so important to get help and support. I'm glad you had the courage to write about this. I hope we're all able to help you!
