I figured out my biggest issue, which is that I've made suicide an option for me since I was about 7 years old. I have horrible coping skills, and whenever I have a bad day, suicide comes to mind. I'm currently working on NOT letting suicide be an option. I'm going to be attending group therapy at least twice a week, and in September I'll be going into a long-term group called "Changing Behaviours".
I'm not going to finish high school this year, so I'll probably have to finish at an adult learning centre next year. However, getting better is my #1 priority, and school comes afterwards.
Hope everyone is doing well, I've missed you all.

hi just wanted to say I have been there, battled suicidal thoughts since the age of sixteen had several counselors and psychiatrists along with five hospitalizations, 3 in a one year time frame. I am currently living in my own place in Colorado Springs and am focusing on breathing and TRULY Taking life one day at a time, one minute at a time sometimes and things are much less overwhelming. RECOVERY IS My FULL TIME JOB, I am taking the best care of myself that I ever have. It is amazing to feel WORTHY OF that finally, I wish u nothing but the best.
