I need to echo Dinah on this one. The point isn't that you didn't succeed, but rather that you are feeling so troubled that you even thought about it.
For me, it is a really narrow line between 'expirementation' and trying. The problem is that when I'm in bad enough shape to try something like you described, I can't guarantee my own safety. I don't know that if I am alive today, that I won't try tomorrow.
The hospital has helped me quite a few times. In the past 2 to 3 years, I've had seven hospitalizations. I have needed every single one. I used to feel like a failure because I needed to be there. I tried to avoid going to the hospital. I used to fight it, sometimes I still don't want to go.
The truth is that I need help sometimes. From the sound of it, you might too. That's not a bad thing, it's just that things have gotten a bit worse than you have resources to handle. That's ok too, because there is a way to fix it. There are people to help you learn new resources, and to give you the time you need to sort things out.
Please, please call somebody. Even if it's a friend to come over, and to call a hospital or crisis line. Sometimes I need a friend here. They can help me make the calls I need to make.
We care about you here. It hurts us to see you in that much pain. The important thing is that you can make it through this.
I'm thinking about you, and sending you all the best wishes I can. I hope you take care of yourself sweety.
Dee.
