and I don't want to live this life...

It seems like the last few times I've written in communities it's been to spread the word about another safe haven too. Luckily, I have not been depressed/ suicidal/ hopeless for nearly a year and I have a mission to help others who have experienced the pain I have. Now that I'm more functional and have much more strength than before, I'd like to give people all the chances they can to spread the word and make people aware of this suffering and how serious it is.

On Facebook there are a few causes I have come across:

- Suicide Prevention/ Awareness

- Depression Awareness

and one that I made because it wasn't yet created

- Psychogenic Excoriation (Compulsive Skin Picking)


In each group, we need to break the stigma and speak out for ourselves, to get the chance to communicate with people who understand us instead of wasting our time with people who will forever condemn us. Be well, take care, and know that there really really isn't an oncoming train from the light at the end of the tunnel.

Hi! I'm doing an paper on suicide for a class. I chose this topic because i had a very good friend of mine commit suicide in May. I'm wondering how ya'll think the media portrays suicide. If you could answer some of my questions that would be great!!! THANKS!! :) ... If anyone would like to talk about anything else on the topic of suicide Im open for discussion, just message me.

Any help i can get would be very much appreciated

1. Why are you involved in the issue of suicide, like experiences?

2. How do you get your news about it?

3. How does the news portray suicide differently than your experience?

4. What kind of misconceptions do you think people have about suicide?

5. Are there any specific news accounts that have struck you as extremely accurately or inaccurately about suicide and how can i find them?

6. How do you think suicide could be better covered?

This is from a sheet I received yesterday from my 6- week Day Treatment Programme:

While reading this community, I noticed that there are many loving and caring people who have been hurt badly in so many different ways. There are many ways that help is available, and I'm hoping that my community can ease some of your demons.

It doesn't say in the userinfo page that I cannot do this, so here I go and I am terribly sorry if this offends anyone. And if it does, the mod can delete this entry immediately.

I created a community a while ago called </a></font></strong></a>attemptfailed: for people who have attempted suicide. It is not a pro- suicide community, but it is one for people to tell their story, get advice, find people to relate to, etc. There is much more about it in the userinfo page, but I thought I'd give a little introduction to the community in case anyone out there is interested.

Take care everyone.

Hi,
I am 20 years old. I recently overdosed on tylenol 3s. Im new here. I plan on staying. I feel so alone and closed. I hope I can find even the slightest bit of comfort here. I am the one who people expect to have everything together. Its so hard. Im losing control. The thought of killing myself never leaves my mind. Im considering other means, its intimidating, but I cant stop thinking about it.

Hell low...

I am not sure I can find any help but in me
But do we have to be so selfish and focuse on our pain and our way out of it?
Then If I take care of myself alone,will I anybody ?
why would I need someone?

I have found out lately that Love does not exist but like a damned I go on searching and hoping for it,secretly of course as I live with my boyfriend of 4 years.

Why am I not happy?
What is my greatest lack?
is it beyond understanding?am I searching for somethin higher,some utopia,some ideals,God?

I dont even know if I can still believe in God for all the pain I have to hide and bury everyday
just have to not to be ashamed of myself and the failure I am,the failure of my life.

I somewhat sound like a teen but it worst as I am in my late twenties...I have tried therapy but shrinks suck they just put you in some category and then they give you meds and whatever!

That's also why I try to save my self alone,but the nasty side of it is that I grow distant from humanity, I feel hatred increasing inside of me and frustrations too...and I look so pathetic that I end up hating everything & myself at the same time which is of course no use...as it won't help me move on

I dont have anything
I search for a job and I ve been unemployed for 2 years and it makes me feel so useless whereas I do know I 'm worth it and that I have a good education,diplomas and skills

But we really cannot be blind to the difficult situation for youngsters in this era.
It's hard to find a flat,hard to find a job,hard to find love,hard to move,hard not to feel so hopeless

I am fighting with all my strenght but I am so ALONE.
I only have my family,my parents I mean.

I got in this depressing mode once again tonight just because I've talked to my boyfriend about getting a baby!

Don't think I am crazy!
I just want to give sense to my existence and having a family of my own is my biggest dream in this life,it's the most important to me to be a mother and give love,take care and feel useful.

my boyfriend says " we make children because we are happy not to be happy"
such crap in my face!!!

How can I be happy????
I do all I can to have a life,a job,to make my couple more alive and to organize going outs whereas he doesn t do much and we don't have money to do that often:(

I can't wait to have a situation,I feel old.
I dont care about money,I just want Love !
It's not so selfish as on the contrary I want a baby to be my center of the world and stop worrying about fuss and being self-centered in my worries and lacks...
we all have lacks I should deal with that!

I dont have any one to talk here,no friends,I have trust issues and I am surely not easy to please

The more I think about it the less I think I'll have what I want from this life and it aches so bad I just can cry and then I feel so pitiable when some people just lost someone dear to them ...how can I complain about my pathetic empty existence?

I feel angry...
I really don't know what I can do,I just always hope I will receive a phonecall for a job soon,instead of rejections all the time
I hope Prince/Princess( dont care about genre)charming will come and save me?
I am so childish...

Will I ever grow up and stop dreaming?
Well maybe sometimes i feel like a true grown ups,bitter,sad,frustrated,aware that everything is useless and love is not enough or worse maybe love is just egocentrical and self-centered in the end...

I'll never be happy.

I'm new here.

It's just that, on June 3, 2004 I wrote a short note, put it in my pocket, took all of the pills in the house that I could find, and sat down to watch a movie. I started vomiting uncontrollably near the end of the movie, passed out and convinced people just finding me to not get me any kind of help when I woke up several hours later. I was very sick for three days, but never did go to the hopsital, even though I was hallucinating and felt absolutely horrible. Tomorrow I'm going to rent that movie and watch it for the first time since that day. I won't say which movie, because it has nothing to do with anything, it's just a stupid comedy.

Schizophrenia Support
I just formed this community after my finacee was diagnosed. He feels like killing himself sometimes and I hope that it never comes to that where he feels he can get no help... if any one needs this community I am there... maybe some others too, well see how it grows. Best Wishes to All...
