You need to believe that it will pass. Don't give in to the illness.

The great thing about mental illness is that it's not like any other physical illness. In physical illness - you have to depend on science to get better.

Mental illness takes a strong mind to get better. It takes a strong mind to deal with all the stressors, symptoms, and wanting to get better. It takes a strong mind to want to seek help or taking your medications.

You seek help - that tells me that you want to get better and you've come this far - so that tells me that you have a strong mind. You've also admitted that you want to attempt suicide because of attention - that tells me you have a really really strong mind. Admission is the first step in fixing every problem that there is something to fix.

Trying to get attention is normal, esp. in your situation. But it also means that you can control your urges.

If you attempt suicide - I can tell you from a personal experience that recovering from a failed one is far worse than the actual attempt. And I've attempted numerous times until I decided that it wasn't worthed anymore. Luckily, I came out physically okay each time. But think if you didn't or if you fall into a vegetative state. You'll be in worse off situation than you are now.

So... please hang in there. Talk to us. Read others' complaints and provide support. It'll help knowing that you're not alone in this. Think positive for others so you can think positive for yourself. Okay?
