I just got out of the hospital after a suicide attempt. I am home and the thoughts are around me. The negative self talk is so hard to tune out. I see a tharpist net week which seems like forever to me right now. The days are so long. I think I am rambling but i hope someone gets it.

Oh, cheryl That is not the answer to whatever is troubling you. Find something to occupy your conscience mind and stop thinking those negative thoughts.

Are you artistic? You could paint or draw. Are you crafty? Knit or crochet or embroidery..

Listen to rock and roll music and dance.

I hope you are not living alone.

I do know that feeling of a week seeing forever when you need to see your therapist now. All you can do is take things one day at a time or one hour at a time. Hang in there and talk to us when you need it.

I am trying to take it a day hour at a time. I am sleeping alot it takes me away from the thoughts. I have no interests which is part of my depression. I did buy a hook rug kit and have done a couple rows to keep my mind busy. I am not alone at home I have a husband which I feel so guilty for putting him through this. After 7 days in hospital I should be better.

A hook rug kit! Now usis a good idea! Something you can display and use when it is finished..

I am glad your husband is there. Are you up to baking him a cake?

Today the neagtive thoughts are bad I am trying to clean and keep busy to get out of my head. I hate being in the black hole. I am lying to my husband and telling him I am fine he was so worried about me. I don't want to stress him out. I am trying to replace the neagtive with positive thoughts today. faking it. I have no energy I just want to sleep and turn off my head.

    Do you think anxiety is genetic or comes from your environment? What are your thoughts?

    Many of you know Mr K told me to "shut your mouth" in March 2025 when we took a road trip to Alpena Michigan. Since that time, we have had lots of ups and downs but I have never intentionally hurt Mr K in anyway. And when we first started dating in 2024 he let me know, although he is an engineer by degree, he has an extremely low EQ.  Overall, he is ok (not off the charts nice like other guys in...
