My friend on another forum who is suicidal is now inpatient. I am glad she is in a safe place now. I am seeing though now my own depression is bouncing back onto me. When I am depressed, I can get very urgy for self injury. I am fighting those urges now. Need to make some kind of contact to know I am okay and not as useless as I feel.

leacon,

You are useful, believe me on that, I myself am suicidal but I have a few great people on this site that really care for me as you care for others. The things you do and say really help people like me, it gives us courage to keep going on. I know sometimes it dose not seem that way but we do listen to you, you make a great impact on us.

I thank you so much for the help you give to others just like how I am so grateful to the people that help me. So please don't stop what you do, you really are making a difference in the lives of other.

Like you I too have "suicidal" urges when I am going through a bout of depression. I have never hurt myself and doubt that I ever would but as unpleasant as these urges are, I have come to recognize them as an escape mechanism in my thinking because I feel so bad and want to escape my own feelings. You are not useless and to a degree I think all of us have those feelings from time to time. We just have to stay strong and not act on them.
Thanks for this!

Berries thanks for asking
Last night I burned myself, and my mood has just done a nosedive. All I want to do now is go to bed and forget about everything. I think I am feeling the need to be with people for real. I am so scared to try though. Seems as if my depression has just been triggered big time.

I'm sorry about the burning. Emotional pain can hurt more than the burns.

I think being with people is a good thing. Don't throw away that hope. And even though I feel like a hypocrite right now saying this as I've been hiding in my shell - please try hard to get outside, active. It is better than lying in bed

Thanks for asking. The urges are still there and slipped again last night. What it comes down to is that I feel badly that I could not help my friend with the suicidal urges more. I know I can only do so much on a forum, but I still feel like a failure. Normally the need to actually do anything lasts about a week and then I may go two to three months without doing anything.

I wanted to say thanks for helping me through my latest depression. The depression is beginning to lift and I am feeling better.
