I apologize for last night, it will never happen again. Please just stop talking about me and go on with more important things. I obviously cant seem to control myself when it comes to posting whatever happens to be going on at the time, so I guess I should simply refrain. I am ok, just spaced out and groggy and weak. No, I am not in the hospital, and yes, the LAPD deserves its reputation. As soon as they had me, they would have shown the same brutality that they seem to enjoy.
Thank you everyone

Vesper, I don't want an apology from you.
I want you to go into the hospital. I have a hard time understanding how you are not there now. You tried to kill yourself.
Also, maybe you don't feel very significant, but you do indeed have an effect on other people. We were so worried, are so worried. April was traumatized.
So, please, don't apologize. Just go to the hospital and be safe.

Vesper,
I just want you to know that I am very new to this BB and I too was worried, not because I know you, but because I know this is a disease and right now it seems to be winning in your life, and I hate that.
Please don't let it win...continue to fight...and go to the hospital. You are not weak, you are strong in my eyes, you were honest and posted how you felt, and even had the courage to make an apology to the rest of the group. It's like you had a desire to take care of everyone who was worried, and that is not weakness. Now take care of yourself, so we all can continue to enjoy your presence. Please don't be another statistic, you have people who care about you, and even though that may not seem like much to you right now, you have to realize that you are not seeing things in the proper perspective...and we ALL know how that is. Please do the right thing!
RICK

Yes Vesper please go to the hospital, the only one you should apologize to is yourself. I lost my first girlfriend of 2yrs. to suicide and I was devastated, but in the end I healed and she never had the chance to. Never give in to the moment, life is not about spontaneous action but well thought intentions that are good for you and suicide will only take away the one thing you have when depressed, the ability to fight back and become well.
You will become well again Vesper please be patient and turn to us and others who care before its to late.

I have a pdoc appointment tomorrow, and whatever she wants me to do I will be doing, I expect. I don't know if I can come back to this list though because of the people I harmed here by posting what was happening.
love for all
Vesper

Yes, you can come back. Of course you can.
People might be angry at you but it is because they care and are worried.
My hope is you will go into the hospital for a while, and when you get out, you will post here to let us know how you are doing, and then be part of this community as you continue to get well.

> VesperI don't think you 'harmed'anyone. You seem such a lovely person I hate to think of you hurting in any way. Besides surely the board is here for people to express their pain and get a compassionate response? If you go into hospital let us know and keep posting! God Bless Jan

Hi, I'm so happy you're okay. You harmed no one but yourself.
Yes go see your pdoc (she sounded okay on the phone) and do whatever she says, and continue to post on this bulletin board.
I knew you hated the LAPD; My first instinct when there is a problem is to call the police, so I called to ask how I would get an ambulance to your house (not that I knew where you live).
This is all in the past now, and I'm so glad you're okay.
Yes, do what that lady tells you to do (pdoc), and keep in touch!
I'm working this week, which means I will be checking my e-mails about three times a day and coming to psychobabble once a day. Feel very free to e-mail me anytime.
Love for you Vesper,
Janiceps. You are not allowed to feel embarassed about any of this.

Vesper, at this point you would not be coming back to psycho-babble just for yourself. We are all invested in caring for you now, and we need to know how you are progressing. So, please do what you need to do to get help, then please come back here and talk to us. If not for your own sake, then definitely for ours!CarolAnn

Word to all:
Don't kill yourself. Don't even try. If you feel like there's no hope, figure out some way to tell yourself that this is depression talking and not reality.
Go to the hospital as soon as you know you've reached the point where there's no longer any real impediment to self-harm.
I can't say this enough. It makes no sense to kill yourself. If you think it does, accept that you are wrong and get help. It is the worst-possible of all outcomes. It's that simple. Just don't do it. Period.
