I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Suicide is a permantent solution to a tmporary problem
Tried it once when I was sixteen, to young to know how to do it sucessfully!
It wont happen again though I've taken the choice away, my kids need their mum.x
**triggers**
yes, I have made 2 serious attempts. First time, I drank something I shouldn't have... made me sick as a dog. Parents didn't believe I was sick, so I had to do every day things. @nd attempt would have done it if my dad wasn't a responsibile gun owner. I found one of his hand guns & put it to my throat & pulled the trigger.
2. Tried to cut to death
3. Od'ed on citalopram and temazepam
4. Od'ed on paracetamol, prozac and temazepam.
And I will never try it again.
However,it is not fair either for YOU to be in so much pain.And you are not crazy to be feeling this bad--unfortunately,a lot of people do too.But most get through it,and so can you.That is why I truly hope you see a therapist and a psychiatrist, and if you are on meds that are currently not working, try others, and combos of meds:many people don't get onto the right med for their individual chemistry for 5 tries, a few even longer.There is all the hope that you'll get well in the world for you--even if it's impossible to feel that now.Also, if you'd ever like to talk to someone,if it would help you,feel welcome to call me. Stay with us.
did a half-hearted attempt a few months back with ambient and limoncello (lemon liquour).
here's how i work through it:
i made myself a promise i'd never put the folks through the pain of losing another child.
when my brother passed three years ago i watched the anguish my parents suffered.
i know they still feel the pain.
they've been so good to me, helped me out financically and spiritually, always there, always supportive, i can't imagine doing that to them.
about 10 years ago, when i was in the worst state of my life, i know my folks were horrified at how i lived and where i might be headed.
so, i made that promise. i may think about it, i may imagine the bliss of dreamless sleep, of being released from my burdens, but i won't follow through with it.
i won't do that to my parents. they don't deserve it.
ah you ask - they're old. what happens when they're gone?
well - there's my son.
so i guess my advise is find one reason, any reason, why you would not follow through.
and make yourself a promise to respect that one reason.
we're not terminally ill, we're not without hope.
it's just our hope is a fainter light than all those polly-annas who walk around whistling in the mall.
wtf?
whistling?
anyway - remember that the last thing left in pandora's box after all the evil and badness flew out oif it was - hope.
and the last thing we have to cling to every day is hope.
find one reason.
make the promise.
hope.
