I don't know what to do anymore. It's never been this bad and I fear for my own personal safety. I tried suicide a week ago but it failed leaving me extremely unwell. No one knew that I tried it and I'm too afraid to say anything about it incase I'm ignored. No one understands what I feel. I worry that if I don't say anything that I might do it again.

I just don't know what to do or who to tell to try and keep myself safe. The more I think about it the worse I feel.

You have to talk to your doctor. I remember it took me ages to figure out how to say it. Absolutely ages. I think I came out with 'can you please test me for depression? I'm not feeling all that peachy lately 'or similar. So he did the test.

You have to get over the hump of saying it. Youth line or samaritans could be good too. And us here, always. You are important. You deserve a good life. Xx

Bridgie101 is right! First step is you need to tell someone and get the help you need. Talk to your doctor, if you don't have one you can alway go to emergency at the hospital. You can call your local crisis center. There is help for you out there. Be brave, go get the help you deserve. There are millions of people in this world that feel the way you do. With help we all can get through it. Do not hide anymore. Stay strong. Go get the help you need -HUGS-

Please get some help. This is too heavy to carry on your own. Im glad you failed at your attempt-that is one failure I highly applaud! You are worth it. Just do it! When I said I was an alcoholic at an AA meeting. I cried and cried but it was the first step towards honesty and healing. Good luck Little LooLoo! xxx

I would be careful about going to the emergency room. The medical bills can get very, very expensive. Definitely try all the other alternatives and leave the emergency room as a last resort.

I am sorry you have to deal with this alone that has to be hard.Telling someone might be a good idea you never know who may be dealing with the same fear until you tell someone and they may have a word of advice, encouragement or be able to direct you
to someone you can talk to. Just be mindful of you speak with.Who are some of the people you might be able to trust?
