I need to do this....
Everything has been off lately. I can't seem to function. I can't eat, or sleep, or get out if bed. I want to die. The suicidal thoughts creep constantly in my head, and with 2 attempts under me already, it scares me. I woke up this morning with absolutely no will to live. I called my boyfriend, even though technically were on a break. His gramps died so he asked for some space. But he said if it was an emergency it was okay to call. I thought it was. He called me inconsiderate, told me to stop hassling him, and hung up before I could even explain the reason why I called. For the first time since 2009, I branded myself. 2 brand-new bright scars for bathing suit season. Desperate, I googled. I found a suicide hotline and called. Best thing I've ever done. For the first time, I was wasn't rediculed or told I shouldn't talk or feel that way. My angel on the line calmed me down, talked with me about life, then helped me find some local places to call. I am calling in the morning. I promised myself. I hope I stick to it.

I\'m so glad that you called someone and that your angel helped you. Keep that promise to yourself. I know you are strong enough to keep that promise!
P.S.I\'m going to be looking to see if that red face turns yellow and even better, turns green!!!
I\'m so proud of you! It takes a LOT just to keep yourself safe... And you knew you had to reach out for help, so you kept trying until you found someone who helped you. Keep on reaching out and you\'ll find even more hands to help you along the way...
So glad you called for help. I have suicidal thoughts all the time. I know how you feel. Just hang in there. You can do it. Feel free to add me as a friend if you like. I will help when I can and I will always listen if you ever need to just vent. Many hugs your way.
Good for you in calling for help. I am proud of you too. One step at a time. Hugs to you.
good for you... I wish I would have gotten help a lot earlier then I did... Hoping and praying for some peace of mind for you... This disease sucks like a bastard... I only wish that others could go through it every single time that they * didnt understand* and then I could zap them back to normal... wouldnt that be great???
Awesome job calling that hot line. I hope you keep the number handy. As for the boyfriend, I\'m thinking you need to re-think him. A break for a death? Never heard of it. Hugs and prayers to you! You did well.
I will not say I know how you feel, but I feel as though I have felt how you have described. I hope you find support on this site or from anywhere for that matter. We all have inner strengths to discover and unlock, you can too. Best wishes and positive thoughts for you dear.
