I can't really put it into words. I just feel like I've been holding on to this one branch for so long. Now my grip is slipping and I am getting tired of holding on. When I fall I know it will hurt bad. It may even kill me I don't know. I don't know what to do.

I have been to that place many times - but the fact that you are talking about tells me you will make it. Yes, you may fall, and fall hard ... but you will survive. The reason: something inside you is powerfully strong and won't give up even when the rest of you does.

That's a good thing. Don't try to hide from that part.

Tell me what's going on?

I know this fear well. If it is even fear. At least I know the feeling of being about to fall off the branch.

I am here, if you ever want to talk

You've reminded me, so I shall remind you. Anytime you need to talk, I'm here for you. I'm not too profound with words anymore, but I can be a decent sounding board.

I couldn't remember the name of the song earlier.. but when I heard this song a few days ago, I thought it was quite touching. When I read your post I thought it may help you a bit if you listen to it...



Hope it helps (I posted the lyrical version in case you have any problems understanding the words)

That's part of the problem. I don't really know. I guess the biggest thing is I had surgery on the 3rd and I woke up from it.
Possible trigger:

Sometimes depression - even suicidal depression - just comes on without a reason. So if you don't know, don't worry on it. I do hope you are feeling better (physically) since your surgery? What kinds of things do you enjoy since the surgery?

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
