I did something Really, Really... REALLY stupid recently, and while I wont go into details of the specific "event" I will talk about the ramifications of those actions, I am currently writing this from a mental health facility and am on suicide watch, after having my stomach pumped.

I thought I was "better." Things aren't that simple as it turns out. I had a few things go wrong recently and it has made me realise that now more then ever I need to be ontop of my condition and need to rely on my close friends.

this isn't something I wanted or planned, but is something I have to live with. I'm not ok right now, but I have to trust that things will get better again.

Rather than love, than money, than faith, than fame, than fairness… give me truth.

I was very concerned about you and very upset that you did what you did because there was nothing I could do to help you. I'm so glad you got the help you need and you are still with this life you deserve to be happy and have a productive life. You are a worthwhile person and you may not know your worth none of us may-but that is not our choice that is our higher powers choice and we can only follow what we can on a daily basis and do our best. Kudos to you for getting help-you are the best and a couragous person and I am so proud of you . Many hugs and respect, Carol

A big hug for you...I am so sorry you are experiencing this, it actually sounds like it was very necessary and is probably a good place for you right now from what you said. I really hope that you will get stabilized enough to be releases as quickly as possible. The important thing is for you to get stable.

It sounds like things are really rough right now, but it also sounds like you have a support base. I really hope your friends are trying to help you. Either way, we know how you feel. I have been hospitalized for a suicide attempt, too and I did not have the support I needed. Please keep posting here because you will find support for you during this difficult time. We care very much.

With God, all things are possible

Hello chainer, just take it one day at a time..and get stable. Like i said before. We have all been hopeless before and understand. Yes, you made a huge mistake, i'm just glad that you were able to be helped in time. You now have a second chance for things to even be better than before. You can be stable and have a life. A decent good life. You just need the right meds and probably a good therapist. I'm so glad you are safe and in the right place, we were very worried about you. Take care and concentrate on getting better. HUGS
