"i am diagnosed bipolar type 1." (ragdoll1156)

MDJunction to me

"When I first came to MDJ, I was in a very dark place, and feeling quite alone, I don't know how I found this site, but I have been very grateful ever since, all of you have offered insight to the illness of Bipolar and the other things going on with me, being here has allowed me to find friends, and to feel safe in discussing things that I would never have shared before.

I believe it has also offered me the chance to reach out and help others. A simple Thank you, is all that I have to offer, to this site and to the wonderful people here.

How many people really need to die, till it is my turn, and I could just go and leave all this hurt behind!!!!! Someone I Love VERY much, is in the hospital fighting for her life right now, and I can't be there with her, because she's outta the country, I am so sick of losing people I Love, if she dies, I will break, I will never be able to forgive myself for letting this happen, i just won't be able to cope!!! How many people need to die on me, before it is my turn to just die!!!! Please!!! I just wanna leave all this pain, and leave with all these people that are leaving!!!!

Hi BrokenWinged....

I can feel your pain toots, but HOW DID YOU LET THIS HAPPEN???? You can't possibly beat yourself up over something that's not in your control...

I can relate to the feeling of wanting to die, but you've got to remind yourself that something traumatizing is happening right now, and that there's more than one reason to hang on.....

If you need to talk more, I'm here... and I'm in your corner.

Tell me - what makes you think that you LET this happen????

Kimmine asks a very good question that you should be asking yourself. How is this your fault. Ive spent many months deployed in various combat zones and I lost friends, good friends that I was closer to than my own family. And Ive gone through the guilt of why them and not me as well, or secounded guessed myself thinking if I had just done one thing or another that they would still be here. But in the end, after a lot of thinking and talking to my friends that have been there, done that I realized that it wasnt my fault, its just they way things are. And nothing I can say or do could have stopped it, or will stopit from happening again. Im willing tobet that its the same for you.

I should have been there for her, I should have done something, I feel so bad, and whats worse, is I just found out one of my close friends knew how bad she was last night, and she didn't tell me because I was having a bad night, How could she not tell me. I am breaking right now, I am falling apart, how am I suppose to sit through class tonight, knowing my friend is fighting for her life right now!!!! I should have been there, done something, stopped her!!! I love her so much, if she goes, I don't think I will be able to get through this!!!

hey broken. the easiest and probably the most stupid answer is you don't have to die - today, tomorrow, next week. i know the feeling of there's no way out of the pain and regret and aloneness. in truth i think of suicide or dying almost daily. it doesn't consume me but it's there. i've written my eulogy, my epitaph, a list of songs that should be played at my memorial. but i wake up every morning alive, sometimes i don't know why but...

so just hang on, find someone to talk to (kimmie even), find a sliver of a reason to stick around and hold on to it.

If I could be anything in the world,
I would be everything.
If I could think of anything in the world,
I would think of future failures.
If I could touch anything in the world,
I would cradle my infant self.
If I could dream of anything in the world,
I would dream my dreams real.
Now that I am something and I’ve thought, touched, and dreamed,
I will let it all go

Reading this Angel...sounds like your friend was trying to protect you, knowing you were already depressed. Might help if you realize that like Kimmie and thisBlows said, you are not in control of her situation. Perhaps you might want to concentrate on your getting stable in the situation. You are focusing on you and what you could have done past tense. Past is over. Might want to start right now and think about what you can do from now on. Go to class. Do the best you can do, and then check in on her and tell her you care.

She was my reason to stay, now she could die, if she doesn't make it, what is my reason? I won't have one!

Angel that sounds like you have set yourself up for failure. Measuring your worth by if someone lives or dies. Might want to rethink that one dear.

Angel, Like you, I have lost too many people. I think I understand how you feel. The helplessness about being far away at this time. I have experienced all manner of death, witnessed murder, loss of a parent, friends, family...but in my life I have to tell you that the deaths I was most affected by were suicides. Like ateR, the thoughts are a constant for me, almost a daily reality that I have learned to cope with, partially because I know what it's like to be left behind.

I'm sure that there are people in your life that would miss you and so you need to focus. Focus on what is real, this is not punishment, this is not your fault and your dying cannot make it better
