I am not suicidal, I am deathly afraid of hurting other people. I wish I was suicidal, it seems like it would be easier for me to handle than the thought of hurting someone I love. I feel so crazy even though I have been told by numerous mental health professionals that I am not crazy and the thoughts are a manifestation of other issues.

God, please let me find someone who understands...
I can so relate, I have depression and have been having anxiety attacks which seem sometimes unbearable. Finally got on some antidepressants which I think are starting to help still would like to find a therapist but with no ins. and low funds it has not been easy. So glad you are not suicidal that will not help matters at all. Hopefully you will find what is hiding inside making you miserable. sending good thought's your way . Keep on posting it helps. It had sure helped me to know I was not alone.
