I haven't been on this board before. I mainly post on the psychotherapy, feelings for T board, as I'm struggling with that. Right now I'm in a bad place. As I posted on the other board, I've had a bad session with my T today and have been very depressed since. I am having thoughts about whether living is worth it or not. And I have a history of self-harm. I'm struggling right now. I think I should call the suicide hotline, but I've called before and they were not very empathetic. Would appreciate some kind words as I have none for myself.

Don't give up. I believe that you can find someone to talk to that can give you the support you need. I understand what you are going through; you're not alone.

Hello, I promise that your life is very valuable and things will get better. There is so much to live for and even if that doesn't help much now one day you will be in a better place and will be very proud of yourself and happy that you persevered. It gets better and you are strong enough to get through this.

So sorry that you feel that way. There are times when I feel like I have no one to talk to, at least at home. I have people to talk to at work, but I don't want to get too intimate with them. Especially with my depression and anxiety. I have one good friend to talk to on the phone if I want to, but I don't want to bother him a lot. He's not very understanding about depression because he never suffered it. Also if I call him, chances are that he'd be occupied with something else while I'm talking to him.
I know how a bad session with a T can be depressing. I have had that happen to me. In fact just recently I had it happen and I felt like I couldn't sleep that night because of it. It was not a therapist, but a volunteer counselor from a church. I guess I was an impossible case for him. We argued about for me to make friends. It's hard for me to make friends. I told him that I have to be content to be alone. I can be content at being alone at times, but not all of the time. He said that I was wrong for feeling that way. |

I am sorry to post that I was having suicide ideation last night. I think I'm not supposed to do that on these boards. I got a "gentle reminder" from a board monitor. Thanks for letting me know. Even though I've been a member for a few months and I just didn't know I was being inappropriate. Sorry. So I'm just trying to take it easy today. Just sacking out on the couch. I talked with T today. She called me - that was nice. I'm trying to get ahold of myself and get back on track with life. It's hard as you all know. This depression thing is really insidious isn't it? I hate it and yet it looks like it will be something I have to learn how to live with. I do like having this community. It always helps to have someone to talk to!

Try to call again. Everyone isn't the same, but chances are you'll get someone who is empathetic. If you don't like the person you're on the phone with, hang up and call again until you talk to someone you do like. Or try finding a different hotline, because there are other ones. I don't know if living is worth it or not. I think that's just an opinion, I guess. Be safe.
