Suicide..... Seems like a quiet place, thought about
it alot today. Pain is so bad. I have appts. with SSA
for disibility retirement.
Pain meds suck, although they help alot, cannot keep a
straight head, foggy,lethargic,nothing stays, forgetful,
But always think of suicide..... way out of here.
Couldn't finish a shower without looking at my guns.
Im scared for myself. Just go to sleep like all of the
overdoses. scared it wont work. Im scared, yeah really
scared. I see my family doc tomorrow, he knows my
severe depression, I gotta get help.SCARED TO DEATH....

Michael, you are sounding like you need to be in the hospital until these suicidal feelings subside. Because you have the means to do it (guns), I am very worried about you. Is there anyone that can come over to stay with you and make sure you don't hurt yourself? Can you keep yourself safe until you see your doc tomorrow? He needs to know how serious a risk this is. If you are at risk of acting on your thoughts you need to go to the emergency room now.

Michael, I also should say that all of the above comes from someone who has been in a similar place of despair more than once. I am feeling better now, but never would have believed it possible when I was suicidal just a few months ago.
I think it would probably be good for you to go into the hospital and while there, have all of your medical problems and medications looked at, and start a trial of some antidepressants.
There is hope.

Michael, Iam not going to give you a lecture on religion, but I am going to say that God loves you and he does not want you to destroy what he has made perfect in you. You may feel very depressed, however there is hope. Get down on your knees and ask God for forgiveness and say you believe that Jesus is God in the flesh and ask him to take away your feelings of suicide. I have been through depression and felt like dyingbut many people prayed for me and I came out of it and that wasin 1990.I was raised Episcopalian and had somewhat of a religious background. I just found out a year ago I am bipolar. I believe it was given to me to add spice to many lives. It isn't easy being this way because I have many deep thoughts. Sometimes I feel I could write many depressing poems. When I think of Christ I feel so much joy inside. Much of the time the depression overtakes me. My mother died Nov. 1998,and I know I will see her again in heaven. I have that hope and God promised us that we would have eternal life. I will pray for you. You have a will of your own and I understand your pain. I just couldn't see me not answering this thread. I don't care what anybody says. God has given me an opportunity to speak his Word. God Bless

Michael, I agree with what Noa and Amanda S have said...right now everything may seem hopeless, but that may change very quickly with help. Either try and find somebody tonight to call, or write people here on the board, or call your family doc, if you are really scared you might hurt yourself. The despair makes it hard to see that solutions are possible. Hang in there!--Cindy W
