Feeling desperate

Anna1212

I'm feeling very lonely and desperate. I write a lot in my journal here but haven't posted for a while in the main board.  I really need someone to talk to. I feel like I am going crazy.  the suicide hotline refers me to a counselor, the counselor sucks, my doctor won't talk to me even though he knows I am thinking of ending my life. I feel like I am invisible.  Like I am nothing.  How could I be so unable to form a friendship?  What the hell is wrong with me.

Hi feel free to add me on here and message me. You may even add me on Facebook if you want. Getting over those thoughts can take some work I've had experience. You need to get out of the house as often as you can even if it means the park or library

Oh Anna,

If you are feeling suicidal and the hotlines are of no help please either call 911 or go to the emergency room, go to triage and tell them or hand them a note if you can't say the words, and tell them exactly what you said here, that you are thinking of ending your life....

You are a jewel. You are of worth, of great value.
Please hold on.
Offering you my hand to steady you and let you know you are not alone.
i relate to you and you are always so supportive of me.

i will pray for you and hold on to hope for you.
Much love,
silver.

Hi Anna. I see you and I hear you. You are doing the right thing reaching out for help. Sometimes the professionals are not so professional at all. I hope you can find what you need and soon. I definitely relate to your first sentence. Love and light sent your way. Please hold on! The only thing that is guaranteed in life is change.

Keep looking until you find a counselor you like. Many of them do suck. Many are also very good. Some are great. It's kind of like dating. You have to shop around to find a good fit. One is definitely out there. If you don't like your doctor and he/she isn't helpful, consider finding someone else there also.

You could also try talking to someone on what's called a Warm Line (https://warmline.org/). I haven't tried it yet, but I probably will soon. I also like the crisis text line at 741741. They have been very helpful to me. Sometimes I use 7cups. It's been a while, but sometimes I come here. Send me a message if you like. I have a good listening ear.
