I never thought that I would make this commitment to another person, but I did. and it makes me incredibly nervous to even say that I made the commitment to stay alive. It' simple, so I ask what's your commitment to stay alive?

I'll start, Mine started with a boy, then I am choosing to live for myself now, and all the good that I can do for others.

My commitment started with my last hospitalization. I committed to staying alive for my family and to share whatever time I have left with them, making memories.

I've committed to 4 years. I reckon I can tolerate anything for 4 years, and that will give me long enough to maybe see another way out.

Hi

Nice topic!!! Well Mine is until Nature gets depressed to put up with me anymore

[i dont matter]

I haven't made any such commitment. I suppose a part of me hopes for some conflict that will give my brain the "green light".

BUT - At my deepest core - I am an optimist. I have to believe there is a purpose to this hell we are going through. That God has a purpose and he will use it to make me or someone else "better". And yes, I know that I will never know for sure what that purpose is (at least not in this lifetime).

Puzzclar, I recently made a commitment and it scares the crap out of me. Can we do it? Is it possible?
Wishing you lots of luck on yours.
(((((hugs)))))

It is possible! !!!

I made the commitment eight and a half years ago when I adopted my first cat so that she would have her forever home and someone to take care of her. I'm still committed to taking care of my pets, kids and husband.

for me it's my best friend. a lovely lovely girl who is struggling with an eating disorder herself and kind of understands what's going on in my head. i don't appreciate her enough, that's for sure, and i feel like i don't deserve her, but i keep trying to believe her when she says that she really needs me in her life, too.

she made me promise to stay alive, for her. and it was scaring me when i did it, but it has gotten me through three massive relapses ever since. if it wasn't for her, i wouldn't have been here anymore. i don't know which scenario i like better tho tbh at this moment, but i've kept my promise. so far.
