I've reached out, I've asked for help and I've explained (as best as I could) where my mind's at.
Nothing. No help, not even words of comfort. Just a joke here and there and/or changing of the subject. I should've just kept my mouth shut since now people are avoiding me. Why didn't I just keep my damn mouth shut?

Reaching out is hard to risk putting ourselves out there. Don't be so hard on yourself. I'm learning that many people don't know how to respond when out of their comfort zone. It is exhausting trying to explain to people who don't understand. I have a hard time reaching out as I was conditioned not to because i wasn't "worthy". Then again, some just aren't interested in wanting to understand. Keep trying.

For a year or so, following my last suicide attempt, I took Cymbalta. I was on the maximum recommended dosage & it was actually the best antidepressant I ever took. (I'm no longer on anything.) But one of the things it did, which was not so welcome, was that it made it possible for me to talk about things I would never have breathed a word about had I not been medicated. Did it do any good? No. As you said... no help or even words of comfort. In my case, mostly just changes of subject. I wish I'd kept my damn mouth shut too.

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