Hi All,
Well I must say I had a very bad night last night!!!
I totally broke down, I hated myself & my life so much that I stood in my kitchen with a sharp knife in my hand for quite some time, picturing myself doing some serious harm to myself.... I got so worked up that when I finally realised what was happening, I was cuddled up in the corner of a room, rocking back & forth!!!
I am battling some issues that have been hanging around for some time now..... I've been trying to LOVE MYSELF, as I look in the mirror & HATE what I see!!!
But I am still here & plan to be here for a long time yet!!

..sorry to hear about your rough night last night, but just know that you have tremendous strength to put that knife down, even if it didn't feel like it at the time. i hope that you have someone that you trust that you can talk to IRL, but if not, know that we are here for you. Take care of yourself

hi flinty.

dont you just hate days like that. it is hard to want to carry on when there are such dark feelings inside. but i am proud of you for realising what you were about to do was wrong, be proud of yourself too.

i too know what its like to be seconds away from suicide. i was there once. it does change you, if you let it. you have already proved you have what it takes to beat this and i am confident this strength will continue. for days when the strength seems non-existent, please know that we are here to offer that boost, anytime.

i will pm you shortly, to see how you are ok. i hope you feel you can talk to me. as i said, i know exactly what its like to experience this so i can try to help as much as i can.

speak soon, and take care of yourself, you are doing brilliantly.
