i feel like i want to stop my meds... because even though i get suicidal when i'm on them, i don't get suicidal enough to do anything about it... which just means a constant and unending sea of pain that i can't do anything about.... so if i go off my meds it'll give me the courage to do something....
someone tell me it's going to somehow be okay? even if it's a lie.... please?

Today is my 25th birthday, to my somewhat lack of surprise I can see already no one really seems to care. I've always been the kinda person to make sure that everyone I Care about feels appreciated and knew somebody had their back. I can count 4 times this year when I Went out of my way to make sure a "friend" felt good on their birthday, especially if they got left hanging. Its early in the...
courage to "do something?" Do you mean you
will commit suicide? I can't tell you to go
off of your meds. I would never tell anyone to
do that. I know side effects, ect. can be a
real pain but they are still our life line.
Don't you dare stop your meds! If you feel
they aren't helping you call your pDoc. If
you are feeling suicidal call your pDoc,
Therapist, a friend, or a suicide hot line. I
hope I didn't come on too strong. I do care
what happens to you which is why I'm being a
bit firm. Hugs to you!
-ask for a med review
- if not taking an antipsychotic..ask if you can try one for size (can help with oppressive levels of suicidality)
-do some self help type work..CBT/DBT..whatever floats your boat
-exercise at least 3 times per week..even if just 30 minute walk..or lift weights (helps with mood)
-avoid 'fun' things like illicit drugs/alcohol..for the time being, at least
- Be KIND to yourself..don't beat self up etc..you need to be a good friend to yourself when going through this.
-Hope; these crap times do pass...much happier times are indeed possible..you can get through this.
I can give u 2 very good reasons to want to...#1. yourself and #2 your child
The second reason was reason I wanted ot for many years..now i include me in that equation too. please message me anytime hun. ok?
I would never lie to u and tell u it is going to be easy. I will never lie to u and tell u it is better if u did this or that. But I will be there beside you (maybe not pysically) emotionally holding your hand if you need me to or just listening or what ever! But I will NOT turn my back on you!
I know it is hard. and i know that the reason I am here today is because of kizmet, Karmes baby girl( a series of events at the right time right place). Blessed Be!
My daughters best friend committed suicide and it came out of the blue. Everyone was devastated, her parents still live with the what ifs and her sisters and brothers miss her terribly. My daughter still deals with what if she had just read the signs, so did all of Nikki's friends wish they had seen it. She killed herself ten years ago and the pain is still with them all. Please please please call a hotline or a doctor, anyone! I am keeping you in my prayers.
unraveled, came out of the blue? there are always signs. In my case, there are plenty.. you know... like me saying it.. I just don't have anyone to care. I'm sorry for what happened to your daughter's friend.
kiwi.. well.. i'm glad you can be happy, live life to the fullest and all that. That's honestly really great. For me it won't happen. No offense, but you can't say if life is worth living for me OR if i'm worth loving.. (which, by the way, I KNOW I am worth loving, but that doesn't mean someone willlove me)
