Hello JaredCS: Welcome to PsychCentral… from the Skeezyks! I hope you find the time you spend here to be of benefit.

I'm sorry you are having such a difficult time. I've made a few suicide attempts too. A couple of them were serious & landed me in the psych wards of two different hospitals. One, in retrospect, was sort-of awkwardly laughable, in an odd sort of way, in retrospect. But I can relate to some of the experiences you describe. I've also self-harmed in the past. I'm an older person now. Pretty-much everything is behind me now. My challenge is simply to be able to accept that things have turned out the way they have. I don't have any convenient answers for you here. I won't tell you you're young & have so much to live for. But I hope that being here on PC can be of some help to you as you try to figure out where to go from here.

PsychCentral is a great place to get information as well as support for mental health issues. There are many knowledgeable & caring members here. The more you post, & reply to other members’ posts, the more a part of the community you will become. Plus there are social groups you can join & chat rooms where you’ll be able to connect with other PC members in real time (once your first 5 posts have been reviewed & approved.) Lots of great stuff! So please keep posting!
