Hang on longer with me. We can do it. One day at a time, i know its hard cause i feel the same way. almost did it last night. But i woke up and maybe something good will happen

this promise doesnt mean you HAVE to leave at the end of the week it just means you wont before the end of the week, you can always renew this promise when the week is up, ALOT can happen in a week. ive renewed my version of this promise a thousand times at least and its a good promise. (well its been working for me at least) peace my friend you are not alone in this.

I said the same thing! I gave it to the start of the month. Then the next week. Then in 3 months. Each time it is a blessing in disguise that I didn't do it! I feel better each time I hit that day, so I put it off. Yes, I still want to die, but now my suicidal thoughts are waning! I reached out for help, and it was there! All you have to do is ask. We are here for you! Try calling a hotline, making an appointment with a therapist. Cry. It helps.

We are here for you. You aren't alone. I know it feels that way. Evryday I think this is going to be my last. But then I get through it and before I know it its the next day. Take it a minute at a time if you need to.

Excellent advice, Stillsickofit,

I am reading a book on anger management and it suggests you make a contract and sign it and have another person sign it as a witness. Their contract is to not show anger for one day, but I think it's a great idea and you can do the same think with the idea of not giving in to suicidal ideations.

Anyway, even without the contract, you can even promise for just one day at a time if that feels more doable, and renew your promise on a daily basis. That's a lot of how AA works, people just focus on getting through one day without drinking. Pretty soon days turn into weeks, months, years, and somewhere along the way they stop craving the alcohol.

Nothing to be sorry for, any little bit of time you can commit to not giving in to the thoughts of taking your life is good.

Meanwhile, to get through that time, you might want to start learning some cognitive behavioral therapy skills if you haven't already. I have a great workbook on it called Thoughts and Feelings, Change Your Mood, Change Your Life. But you can do a google search on CBT and learn a lot without spending money or going anywhere.

Keep posting here if you need support. We all want to see you make it!

Hoping u r ok, and sending u hugs. I made it through today, it was tough but I did it we can all do it

No need to be sorry, you have done nothing wrong...yet. You have barely lived, the good years in your life are very much ahead of you, and are guaranteed the sooner you are able to put your past behind you obviously. Talk to a professional before you attempt to make good on this promise, and if the advice received concurs with that of your current belief then so be it...you will be missed though, at least take that into consideration also.

Feel myself letting go.

Being here is your reaching out for help. Let us help you. What is hurting you that you no longer want to live?
