i spent severalyears when i was younger wanting to die. i hated myself and everyone and everything around me. i had an entire school making fun of me (that is not an exaggeration). my only friends would make fun of me at school and then pretend nothing happened when we were at home, as long as no one from school showed up. my brother saw it as his personal goal to make my life miserable. he would beat the shit out of me everyday for no reason other than i was in the same room. he called me every name he could think of to hurt me. it worked. it was a dark time and one i don't ever want to go back to. i even tried to kill myself once. i didn't really want ot die, i just wanted my mom to realize that i was there. i tried to strangle myself, manually. after awhile i just wasn't strong enough to keep the grip around my neck. i came close to passing out. my mom just sat there and asked me if i was done acting like a baby. i figured out that nothing short of a serious attempt would do anything, and i wasn't that desparate. church actually saved me. we went back to church a few months after that. i may not have believed most of what they taught, but the people there was wonderful. they helped me learn how to love myself again. i've been basically ok since then. there have been a few depressed days here and there, but most people have those. I think allot of people get to that desperation. Probably allot more than ever admit it! Such things are hard to deal with day in and day out, then with that accumulation factor, with the loss of something or even just little things adding up...A friend of mine I worked with just tried to kill himself cause he couldn't keep his bills paid....Seems to be going around lately. |

I'm so glad your friend is getting help. Believe me those pills (all kinds) taken in excess can do irreparable harm. As a nurse I've seen to many failed suicide attempts, the people end up worse then when they started. I to have had depression, but when I started to think about the easiest and cleanest ways to do myself in, I went to the D.R. I think I'm more of the psycho-killer type. lol ;D John sorry you went through the Ephedrine nightmare, glad you lived to talk about it! Same goes for you tanath, glad you prevailed. It's a lovely Spring day...>^..^<

It's a lovely Spring day...>^..^< LoL @ the psycho killer type...Stormy would rather go postal evidently  Oh I'll never forget what it was like kicking the Ephedrine habit. I'd tell myself the stuff wasn't addictive. Boy was I ever proved wrong when it came time to get off of it. Once I slept for 15 hours....Got up, fed my dogs and cats, that wore me out so I went and slept another 12. People and doctors would tell me exactly what you did Stormy. Another time I was on a handful of those and got stoned...I had myself convinced I was having a heart attack, which wouldn't have been a huge problem if I hadn't been stoned. LoL, but my mom found me holding my chest and gasping (prolly more to do with the fact ephedrine had more to do with asthma than energy) made me go to the doctor and I got griped out pretty darn good lol. People just don't want to listen when they're like that, that and they don't care. If that time in my life taught me anything, its that a person has to WANT to live....Or they won't. |

she's doing good. she has to wait for a shrink to decide if she can go home or if she needs to stay somewhere. she has a nurse babysitting her at all times and her ex is there (it's a complicated situation i don't understand myself).

Sorry to be coming in late on this situation. I hope that your friend is doing well now, and getting the much needed care she needs. It's so important to have family (if available), and good friends like you.
It is so easy to get to those breaking points. I will keep her in my thoughts.

It's a lovely Spring day...>^..^< (mental note: stay away from stormcat when she's depressed) i definately needed therapy, and could probably still use it, but ti costs too much. i'm a poor college student with no insurance paying her own way, i can't afford the doctor. i'm hoping to have enough money to get my eyes checked this summer. spring? where? it left here. it's cold and wet and windy, the pond even has a layer of ice. i want spring to come back. |

Well I can imagine such a thing would be pretty hard on the ex too. |

Well I can imagine such a thing would be pretty hard on the ex too. it is. they still love each other. they're just on a break of sorts or soemthing. i haven't bothered to get the full details on that situation yet. |
