Hi Geri - Thanks for writing. I've been wondering how you've been! Have you been able to speak to anyone else?
I know you are especially sensitive to maintaining a calm relationship with your Dad, so this fight must have been very upsetting - something like that can really upset the balance of everything you've been fighting to maintain.
Sweetie, please don't give up. Please reach out if you really have a plan to end things. I do know exactly how you feel and I've gotten through those urges many times. I am so glad I did. Your life is worth so much, please don't let your depression tell you otherwise. Just do the basics and get by until you can get help. It's okay to ask for help.
Sometimes you have to take it day by day or even hour by hour. BUT, once you get through the next couple of years, you can chart your own course!!! You will be brave enough at some point to get the help you need - whether it's counseling, meds or both - and then you will be so glad you hung in there.
I so wish you could reach out to your family. It's so unfair that they can't be there for you! Please let me know if there's anything I can do for you. Please reach out to one of your friends. Talking can be such a good outlet for pain and unhappiness & really can allow you to see things more optimistically.
Keep us posted, we all care about you and what happens to you!!
~ Lynne
