Sorry man, suicide attempts can be very haunting, daily thoughts that you can't erase. I don't think there is a way to will it away completely, but in the case were it becomes overwhelming you have to get help, call your doc asap and get some help to get through this.

I too have had problems with my one suicide attempt. But as the years have gone by it has impact me less and less. I learned to deal with it. Infact, this past year, it snuck up on me and I did not realise it at all until a few days after the fact.

Hang in there. It can and will get better if you deal with things in a healthy manor. Learn to forgive yourself if you do something in an unhealthy manor, we all make mistkaes and F up at times. It part of life that everyone, not just BP go through.

    Woke up feeling very emotional and about to clock in at my place of employment. And can't place it all in writing but not been a good experience with my store manager or his boss. Defamation of my character is a concern. I've been losing appetite and weight. Trying to perform at work to keep myself from hospitalization as a result of toxic masculinity.
