i’m very new to this help and support thing so i guess i’ll give my story. i’ve been struggling with depression for about a year now but only began S.I. in october of ’08. i stopped for a long time while i was in a relationship with the girl of my dreams but a few days ago she broke up with me and broke my heart.. i’ve been struggling more and more as the days go by and its begginning to take its toll. ive just lost inttrest in everything i do and i’m sure by the time i finish this note i will be in another situation with a tool in my hand.. im afraid maybe i’ll injure too much one day maybe intentially and i think that i might want thatt.. can somebody please help me…?
if you have any advice please e-mail me at dmunkelt@hotmail.com
one thing that will definitely help is some support… i know it was hard for me… i just started and it was so hard to stop… first things first throw away all your tools… anything you have injured with… then go to a support group… it really helped me… there i could hear everyone else’s thoughts… and their feelings.. and it made me feel much better knowing there was someone else out there… i hope i helped some
Sometimes when we feel as if we’ve lost everything, its not true. Sometimes we’ve just lost ourselves. And God. We have to find both, and all that takes is telling ourselves that we want to get better, that this is not the life we want to live. There is always light in darkness, we just have to find it, want it, and make ourselves available to it, make ourselves transparent to that light. Let others in your life, allow them to help you, as you’re doing now. Keep posting here, and share your feelings with others while listening to what they have to say too.
