It has been good to read your postings. I feel a little less "friekish." I have a psych, therapist, and group leader. I take meds. I call the hotlines. I go to the E.R. I still find myself waiting for any excuse to overdose and die. Yes the Doc's all know this.

A good day is when I only think about killing myself in the evening. A bad day is when it interferes with work. The weekends just blow.

I kinda feel like , "Why bother trying so hard?' Why am I not allowed to just die? What's the big deal?

Welcome Cynthia

You are never alone here hun. Keep posting so we can offer as much support as we can. I can sense that you want to live and reaching out here is a great step to take.

When I read the sentence you wrote " why am I not allowed to just die?"....my thoughts went to because you want to live.

Keep posting hun so we can get to know you better too. Welcome to the boards.

Why can't I?

If one more person decides to take the "It's because you want to live" road I am going to vomit. How many times have I heard this said to me and others? If you truly are on the suicidal side you know that when someone says that to you it's a crock of [censored] and you do want to die it's just you don't really want it to be at your own hands. You want to be the guy that got hit by the LRT this morning, or the guy who was at a bank withdrawing money and accidently got shot during a heist. I dream of something like that happening.

This is all in response to Heathers quote of Ancin's quote.

""When I read the sentence you wrote " why am I not allowed to just die?"....my thoughts went to because you want to live.""

Oh my. Ascin you may not want to live and heather does have one good point keep posting and let us know how you are doing we want to get to know you.

I don't know if this advice or what i am going to say is any good, but you are only alive for a short amount of time how ever depressing that may sound. It isn't a sad thing to say. I don't know the details of why you want to die and it must a the most awful and uncomfortable feeling, but you have to look around you and ask yourself what exactly you want. If you want to overcome this it will happen. And the moment you can say "hang on i don't want to die" is the moment you have realised inside you are worth something. The big deal is that your trying hard for you! Do it all for you and the people you love. Be proud of yourself you can admitt to these feelings and it means your half way to realising you know what is wrong, things can be ok! sorry if what i have said, you are seeking help which is fantastic i wish i could do the same!
