Ok so I wouldnt say I am suicidal but I seriously want to just be in a coma. I dont want to be dead but I dont want to exsist feeling the way I do... I truely dont know what to do. Does anyone else teeter on just this side of suicidal? is it weird to just want to be in a coma? I picture getting in a serious accident that knocks me out a long time that I 'dont cause' in my families minds... but ideas on how to make that accident happen cross my mind... NO Im not going to act on them but I am really struggling

it's a bloody awful place to be...I'm still excited that I found anti-psychotics & xanax can really bring relief from that state for me...guess you've tried that?

How do you know the differance between psycosis and just flat out depression?

Well....are the thoughts really intrusive? I just consumed with thoughts like that, I don't really know.

yes the thoughts are intrusive but generally because something triggers them. Like today (my journal has more info)

When I was in a coma (7 days) the last time I attempted suicide, I had very vivid and sometimes horrifiying dreams. I could hear people around me and couldn't do anything about it. I was actually very glad to wake up even though the spurts of "non activity" were awesome.

I often have dreams that I enjoy and when I wake up I'm depressed at the fact that I came back to this reality. I don't know if a coma would be good or bad, but it sounds kind of nice.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
