I think we can learn to deal with and mostly overcome our personal issues. Not everything is fixable but most things can become manageable. It depends on our own thinking and frankly, what life shells out to us. It takes time and our constantly searching out answers at times. Not everything is absolutely controllable. Some things just are. I have chronic pain that limits my sleep at times which make the pain "feel" worse. I have ways to manage the sleep but it is not controllable 100% by me. I still have to work my health program daily. I have days of quiet despair over all of this like you do. My secret is to chose happiness every day. Sounds stupid or not attainable but it forces me to take charge of my day instead of wallowing like I was doing. You may need more help than just on this board and please seek the help that works for you. You do not have to suffer like this.

I worry when people say I don't see the point in living anymore. This is when I urge people to get more help or consider a stay in a good behavioral health hospital to get a diagnosis and treatment so that the suicidal thoughts stop. We want you to stay around. I hope you feel better tomorrow. Please let us know how you are doing in the days ahead.
