After Attempt

I just need to know if anyone else feels like this:
After an attempt, did you feel like you were dead? In purgatory? In a parallel universe where nothing ever went right?

Depression does make me think that I'm dead and already in hell. I wonder what I did that was so wrong that I have to be punished.

i so know that feeling theoriginal me. i did not feel that way after my attempts. somehow, i dont feel it is appropriate to talk about how i felt. maybe it would make it too alluring. or it is war storying about it. i dont know. it just doesnt feel right to me.

I would agree that it wasn't my attempts that made me feel like that and whatever I felt in the aftermath of an attempt was different to that. I found it really hard to talk about the aftermath even in therapy.

Hi Elisa

I don't really know as I have never made an attempt. But it could be you have something like a near-death experience. Getting some view of what it is like on the other side. How is everything with you now? I hope and pray it will go well. From now on. Have a really great day. God bless and best wishes from your friend Francis

My attempt left me with four lost days, no memory, nothing. Initially I felt like I'd been given a second chance, but then nothing ever went right... hence the purgatory feeling. Maybe it was a near-death experience that was too close... or actually there. I'm really confused, I try to talk though things to figure them out. Usually overthinking to the point of exhaustion. My situation right now doesn't help, no.

i felt extremely tired and hopeless. frustrated because i just wanted to be off of this earth. oh and i also had a huge headache

Nah I never felt like I was dead after an attempt. I had a whole heap of emotions..frustration because it hadn't worked, embarrassment, guilt for upsetting family and just generally feeling stupid for giving in.

yes.

Questioning reality. And maybe some of "it isn't fair" that I am still here.

Hi Elisa.

Sometimes experiences are so traumatic that we unconsciously repress them till the time is right to recall them. So don't worry. Eventually, these memories will resurface. I do feel that the feeling of being given a second chance was actually true. Anyone who survives an attempt is automatically given one. I am sorry that your situation is not good at the moment. Have you got good therapy? Or do you think that the medication needs looked at. What do you think could be done to improve your situation? I really hope and pray everything will work out well for you. Take care. God bless and best wishes from your friend Francis

I felt so scared i thought it was truly the end i had overdosed on sleeping pills i felt like if i closed my eyes i was sure to die so i would continuously blink and try and keep my eyes open.it felt like hell
