First thing, if you are really considering suicide get yourself to the emergency room of your nearest hospital immediately.

Second, I (and many others) have been in the same place as you are now. There have been times when all I could do was cry. With proper care you will feel better. What are you doing for treatment? If you haven't already, find yourself a good psychiatrist and see her/him as soon as possible. Recovery from severe depression can be a long haul but there is a lot a good psychiatrist can do to help you feel better quickly.

Keep posting, you have a very sympathetic audience.

Beetle,

we are all here for you. I have been there...on the edge...and I know how hopeless it looks. recognize this a low valley you'll soon be looking back on. don't start thinking it won't get better cause it does and it will.

You need to garner enough strength right now to suck up the courage to go RIGHT NOW and talk to or call your closest family member or friend and tell them what's wrong. Be honest about everything you're feeling about right now. We all get irrational and lose hope.

The help you will receive here will be as supportive as possible, but it is only secondary to what you can receive by the family and friends who know and love you. Be strong and reach out to them. In the meantime, I'd love to hear more what's going on with you and how serious you're currently taking this threat against yourself.

write back.

PS - are you under the care of a psychiatrist/therapist? If you are, you need to consider this a high priority to contact him or her.

 

Re: please write us back!!!!!!

Beetle,

Even though you are now feeling better please contact your psychiatrist and let him/her know what is going on. Hospitalization might be the best thing to help you until you can become stable. We've all been there. Please get help from a doctor.

Hang in there!

Beetle: Reading your post, the one thing that strikes me close to home for me...you mentioned alcohol abuse. I can remember driving around late at night trying to decide if I would check myself into the hospital, or go home and kill myself. Fortunately, I would usually just get tired of it all and go to sleep (and try it all again tomorrow). From my experience, drinking really made my depression (and other conditions) worse, and then the rest of my life just kind of went down with me. Don't know if that's what you're dealing with (for me it's never just one battle). But you mentioned it...
I can't tell you what to do; I'm not you. But I know that it's hard, living with a mental condition as well as drinking. Quitting drinking scared the bazookas out of me...but I never really wanted to die; I was just so tired of living. Getting my drinking out of the way has given me a better chance to get my "sanity" under control.
Again, I can't tell you anything. You know yourself better than anyone else. But you might think about it sometime. It isn't as impossible as it sometimes feels, and you wouldn't be the only one who knows that sort of pain.
Just hate to hear anyone hurting. Thanks for letting me ramble...

Thanks for all the concern. Nice to have this board and you friends around.

Things are WAY better, but not mended completely. I'm taking your advice to more seriously address my alcohol problem. I know that is the root of the majority of my problems.

Wish me luck!!
