How can you tell your family members that you think of not being there anymore, all the time. Every day I think how much better the world would be without me. I've already failed in my life in so many ways, and see nothing for me in the future. As a matter of fact, I don't see myself there at all. Even with medication, I think this way all the time. I was hoping it would get better, but so far it hasn't. Once in a while I get a moment where I feel "ok", but then it passes by. Reality always comes back to me and nothing really changes. It's just me, my thoughts and I. My thoughts are negative and I feel nothing but dark, empty and lonely. There is no one I feel connected to, not even in my family. I'm just here existing and I'm tired of living this way.

That is great you have a T. It can take time to build trust and open up fully. I ended up totally opening up to my family even about the suicidal thought. It was my last resort. I was about to become homeless. Thank god they have been very very supportive and have learned a lot about the best ways to help and so on. It is very hard on my parents. They say it is not but it has to be. They understand and have accepted it. I have a long term disease. Even my dad says that.
It is not unusual to think about suicide everyday. I have been there many times. You are definitely not alone in what you are going through. Read a bunch of the posts in this section.
Don't give up hope. Even on meds. I have finally after 20 years found a med combo that is working better than anything ever has. I don't know how long it will last.
