I never really know what to say to people who are feeling suicidal because of the depression and what the depression has done to their life. I know exactly what you meant about not doing it do punish anyone, but because it seems there is no way out. Right now, my family is angry with me because of a failed attempt, and they say Its a childish way of getting attention.
I didn't call them to tell them, I didn't leave a note saying they were horrible and drove me to this.
I was just rusted out, years of medication job losses, relationship losses, wondering why you can't just BE like other people seem too.To be honest I feel a bit like a hypocrite, because when I'm in that state there isn't anything external that really change the way I feel inside, I could win the lottery and not be able to make the effort to deposit the cheque.
But I need to say, that people do care, and pray, for you, and hang on Please, there are new treatments coming out, and the depression is what causes that feeling that things will never be any different. It comes across as reality, not as Depression. We never believe it at the time but I know on the odd occasion when I'm normal I can't remember just how horrific the depression was either.
I do hope you'll start feeling a tiny bit more hopeful tomorrow, it does happen.
