Lili,
I'll have to echo what everyone else has said. I'm sure you've heard this before: suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. I know that when I feel like you do (which is often) I can't see any way out of it. But then, on occasion, I get a glimpse of what life might be like IF and WHEN I beat this disease that's controlling my mind (sorry if this sounds sappy). And that's truly what it's doing...controlling your mind. My therapist likes to put it another way: this is a feeling, and feelings change. It's not who you are, it's what you're experiencing. And it's not permanent, no matter how bad it might seem right now.
Is there anything/anyone (just ONE thing) you can focus on to hang on to SOME hope? For me, as silly as it sounds, it was my dogs. Find something...anything, and stay focused on that.
Weren't you supposed to go to a new pdoc? Have you changed meds?
Please hang in there. You can make it. I know it doesn't seem like it right now, but I understand what you're going through, as most of us on the board do.
Feel free to email if you need to: penny1076@yahoo.com
Much love,
Penny
