I feel like killing myself everyday. I purchased a gun, so I can do it quick. I cant take it anymore. My life is CRAP.

Hi Sophie

Just because you ave a gun does not mean you will just turn yourself into a living vegetable.

Your mind is playing tricks on you please go to your closest hospital....your mind is tricking you....we are here for you...please give us a chance to support you...we know how you feel...we havent just read the book...please huck the gun away.

Please keep posting.

We care.

Thanks everybody for caring. I just been through so much stuff I have lost my will to live. I am not going to kill myself any time soon. I just need counseling. I will continue to post here, and I hope I can receive some help. I don't want to go into the hospital again. I have been in the hospital many, many times. I just have never been so low in life...

You know what Sophie...when I have been that low it IS time for hospital again to be looked after and regain my strength....this is just how I work.
I have been in hospital manyntimes...it just takes the pressures off of eating and sleeping and clean linen and positive people to guide you.

I hope you are feeling better just remember it is one day at a time and one foot in front of the other.

So glad you posted.

Light and love

Good morning Sophie

Just popping in to say hello.
I dont know where you are but here in Australia it is new years eve.
I hope you can find a good counsellor.
Most of us have been through the mill and ended up here and have stayed for years.

I have the support of a mental health gp and A good psyhiatrist which we abbrevite to pdoc here.

Dr Long provides this forum for us for free but rarely intervenes.
Thre are many good people here.

DavidT is the glue that keeps the boards running....he gives alot of his time ...brilliant people...and the men are true gentlemen Sophie....and a lot of us ladies are Nanas...but the bords run very smoothly....most times Lol.

We are all human.

I was dx scz but in the last few years they have found out my psychois was due to temporal lobe damage but I present the same as scz....I am med compliant ....most of us have had our ups and downs with medications and doctors...I think I would be one of the members most frequently hospitalized....but I uffer from Major Depression Disorder too.

Well this year we get a new moon on the the new year...a fairly special occassion according to alot of people I know.

Wishing you the best.
2014 will rock.

Sue :)

Don`t Give up

Sophie there is a song by Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush called "Don't give up" which I found for years helpful in combating low mood and suicide ideation. Perhaps you should get it or listen to it in on you tube. Peter Gabriel say he gets letter from people who say that it stopped themselves from killing themselves and Peter Gabriel said it made his whole career worth the while.

Don't do it Sophie. I've been there many a time and I think life is worth living. Keep posting and keep in touch with your psydoc and the rest of your mental health support team, and consider that sometimes into hospital can be a good thing so that you get properly looked after.

Sophie, there is other songs I find helpful in combating low mood, like Labi Siffre's 'Something inside so strong' 'R.E.M.'s 'Everybody hurts' 'Dire Straits' 'why worry' and a lot of Enya.

Sophie is there specific problems preying on your mind, such as problems with drink or drugs or tobacco, financial or vocational worries, relationship worries, problems with your weight. Are you lonely. Please keep posting and let us know you are ok Sophie.
