First, I'm glad for this site. My friends on Facebook would not understand. Last night I fell into a state of despair and had a mix of wanting to die or jam a knife into my arm. It felt like the universe had conspired to stop me from being happy. Logically I know that is not true and I didn't act on these feelings but wow, were they almost overwhelming. I had a few drinks so I'll concede that was a major part of the episode. I decided to lay off the sauce and talk to my doc again about meds. I nearly went to the hospital just because I wasn't sure I'd be ok. Thankfully I was with close friends. But they cannot fully understand the maelstrom that goes on in the mind. That's why I'm glad for this forum. Thanks for reading! -Jim

Glad you got thru the episode. It's amazing how quickly things can go downhill. Good thing you had your friends close. Probably would be wise to talk to your doctor , set up a "game plan" for what to do IF this situation ever happens again.
So glad you are safe

Glad you're okay. Those episodes can come on so suddenly, sometimes for seemingly no reason. It's true about friends and often family. If they haven't experienced it, I don't think it's easy to understand. At least they were there and supported you without realizing it. Sometimes I take what I call "silent support." I'm not well, but my husband is okay, so I will just sit with him and know that he's there, even if I don't say anything.

Glad your ok and seem to have pulled out of the episode unharmed. Just sometimes all you can do it hang in there for the ride.

The worst ever was walking about five miles around the city at 3 in the morning, stopping at a bridge over the highway and, well, I'm sure you can imagine the thoughts at that moment. Funny thing is, I actually thought to myself that if I jumped I might damage someone's car as they drive by. I went home to bed instead. I guess it's the little things that keep you from jumping.

Well you have to fight sometimes everyday, the little things will keep you in check I'm sure, just keep thinking the little things. Also think of how much you mean to people just even this forum cares about you a tremendous amount.

Thank you, Clinte! This is a great resource both for myself and also to provide support to others where I can. I'm so glad I stumbled on this site.
