your predicament reminds me of this poem.

Quote:
Out of the night that covers me - William Ernest Henley

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.
In my own experience, I have to fight the battle. I have to take up the sword against the darkness that tries to swallow me whole. And it's exhausting. I've never had meds when I was suicidal. Only me in the storm.

Stay strong. The battle is worth fighting.
