Hi there,

I've had one serious attempt about 6 months ago, when I was at my worst with OCD/depression. VERY glad I didn't succeed, and received the help I needed.

There are still bad days, definitely, but it's worth it. Even if I end up feeling as bad as I did before....suicide just isn't an option. It's not the answer, although I understand how some might think it is. It not only hurt me, but it hurt my family and my friends around me.

To be perfectly honest, my medication has to be kept in another household just in case I have a really bad day, and make a quick decision to attempt suicide. I also use this website as support, since I have no therapist or psychiatrist (I'm on a waiting list). Sometimes I exercise when I feel motivated enough to do so.

Basically, I get enough joy out of life to want to be here...and I look forward to living 70 or so more years.
