1-800-273-TALK CALL THEM PLEASE. It is the national suicide hotline. They can help and are trained.

I don't know what your situation is, but you need immediate help. They don't judge, just talk.

Please talk to someone
You don;t deserve to feel this way
If you can't call someone go and see your GP
You are scared, that's good, get the help you need before it's too late

I truly tried at 17, I won't tell you how, but obviously it didn't work. A councilor told me afterwords to consder it my rebirth.

Dearest Morning Sadness,

Sorry to hear about your attempt. Whenever, I get like that I think it'll be different if not better.

But I'm still here. It is not easy to end your life. it is not easy to live.

I want to be empathetic. I've been there and back many times. I agree with the other commentator that you should call the crisis team.

You still have a purpose in this world otherwise you wouldn't be here.

I hear (read) you pain and it reminds me of the hole in my soul I'm trying hard to patch.

You Matter. Yes you do,
Finding my hope

I refuse to go to the ER, because then they're going to put me into a psych ward, and ive been there, done that. It made me so much worse than i was beforehand.....
