I did most of my stupidest stuff while under the influence. You are in a very dangerous place right now. Go find someone to be with until you sober up or go to the emergency room. Please be safe with yourself.

Alcohol has contributed to some pretty nasty Sh in my past. It's to be avoided. Also makes your anti-depressants not work. Why would we do this to ourselves? Pretty silly when I look at it that way. I hope you made it thru to sober without doing something harmful.

Lady_Dragus,

I just have to say that age has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with suicidal feelings. Young people can hurt, too. And young people contemplate suicide. It's a reality.

The tragedy of it is that when you have more life ahead of you and you choose to end your life, you're throwing more away before you even have a chance to experience it. BUT that thought doesn't stop the pain.

You know what it is like to be in a place where you've wanted to give up. I know that. You can understand what this person is feeling. It's true that suicidal posts are triggering and that is not fair to others who may be triggered by them. But the way that you have approached it in your post is not very compassionate, nor is it likely to help a person not feel suicidal.

I don't mean to launch a personal attack on you. You should know by now that I think you're a great person, and generally VERY compassionate and just all-around awesome. But I feel the need to counter your response.

Please get yourself some help. There is something to live for. Horrible feelings do pass, and your wounds can be healed.

Be careful about posting things about suicide here, because as Lady_Dragus said, it is triggering and potentially harmful to others. But feel free to talk about the feelings you have that are leading you down that road, and we can support you in that way, ok?

I hope things have improved somewhat for you since this post. Try to take care of yourself! And try to find the reason, even if it's tiny or you think it's stupid, that you would want to go on. I know there are reasons. If you can find even just one, cling to that with all your might. I know you don't feel very strong right now, but you CAN pull through this!

((((((((((((((((((((hugs 4 u)))))))))))))))))))) <-- only if ok

My dad told me this once and I believe it too:
"Suicide is a permanent answer to a temporary problem". Things will get better alcohol and pills aren't not apart of that equation though.

it would just be so easy!

First off I want to say I am sorry for my fisrst resonse it was a little harsh.. and I should not have worded it the way I said it..
I know anyone at any age can have the feelings you are having, no matter how young or old you are.

I was in a very bad place when I responded and I should not have responded to your post, but I did, and for that I am sorry, I did not mean to come off as harsh, or as something I am not..

I have been where you are, and some days still can symptiaze with you ok.
But sucide (sp) is not an option, even if you do think it would be easy, it's not..
1. Think of all the people you would hurt
2. THink of all the loved ones you would leave behind
3. How would your family feel?
4. How would you feel? ( this is the quetion) that no one ask.. But how would you feel, Think about that one... you do feel now, and you have to think about it, before it is done. and you would still be thinking of it, or you would not have posted it on here Right......

How do you feel??? Why do you think it would be so Easy?????
