This is kind of hard for me to talk about, but I really need to lately. I want to talk with anyone who's felt like this before. I've been feeling
suicidal for a while now, and for anyone who's been here before, how did you help yourself get through it?
I want to discuss a very serious topic.

My advice is to call 911 and ask for the crisis center. They can hook you up with a counselor that will do something to help you. Im sorry Kim hope you get
better.

I've never been there before, but just know that so many people love and care about you, and that without you, things just wouldn't be the same. There
are resources out there to help you find the strength you need to get feeling better. You're young and have an entire life full of opportunities ahead of
you that you haven't yet experienced.
I'm so sorry that you're hurting so badly. I hope you get the help that you need and deserve, and can look back on these feelings one day and be so incredibly thankful that you had the strength and courage to pull through. Because you DO have that strength and you DO have the courage, and I know that you'll make it through whatever it is that has you hurting so much right now. |

I wish I had a better answer for you but my feeling suicidal coincided with anxiety and depression so once I got those under control (counselor, groups,
self-talk), the feelings went away and self-worth came back up.

I think everyone can relate to those feelings in some way--and I say that not to disregard your feelings, but I want you to know you're not alone.
Creamie actually has a good suggestion if its gotten to the rock-bottom point. What kinds of counseling and/or meds have you tried? I'm sorry to hear
you're feeling this way, Kim. You're a strong girl, I know you know there's resources available to you.

I've talked to crisis before. I'm not talking about in the moment. I'm just wanting to hear from anyone that's felt this way before for a
period of time, and how they got through it. Or anyone that's been effected by it.

Thanks for all the kind words, all of you. Really, really, really.
Something Nicole touched on is key, and that's self-worth. I have so little. Mine coincides with depression as well, which I've dealt with before, and got through. Since my father died two years ago, my mom and I have just been trying to cope, and my depression has gotten bad. |

Just for the record, I do agree, that was very good advice. I have called 1-800-SUICIDE a few times. The first two times were last year around this time, right
around my father's birthday, and it helped. The last time I called, well the guy didn't know what he was doing and honestly just made me feel worse
about myself.

Have you tried meds, Kim? They really can help, and there are several things they could try. That, and finding a therapist you really feel comfortable with to
help you sort things out.

I think of how my mom would feel if I killed myself. I want to do it so badly sometimes but I don't want my mom to be sad.
Here's a hug, BTW.

I deal with this often. I'm in a good place right now but in the past things have been bad. I'm in therapy and taking anti-depressants and anti-anxiety
meds. Last year I threatened suicide and my friend took me to the hospital. It was truly life saving. Talk to a doctor not just a counselor.

Yeah, I'm in therapy and on meds. Obviously still working on that.
Sam, see...I wish I knew what to say to you the explain how what you said makes me feel. I barely know you, but it saddens me to know you feel that way. I'm sure you're mom would be broken. Mine is terrified all the time. Thanks for the hug, and right back at you. |

How long have you been on meds and in therapy? It takes some time to get to an okay place.

LuvBug, like a psychiatrist? And I'm wayyyy too scared to tell my friends straight out, "Hey, I'm suicidal." But the support would help.
I'm just scared.

I've been on certain meds for allllmost six years, and others for varying times. In therapy for a little over two years.

Yeah a licensed MD that does therapy and gives meds. It's difficult to admit these feelings to people. It took me a long time to admit I was depressed. I
didn't admit the suicidal thoughts to friends and family until I had my breakdown.

That's true, my mom is so broken since my dad died.
Thanks, Dyl. |
