Struggling with suicidal thoughts again

Critter101

632d

I think I'm going to relapse again. I keep finding myself staring across the room at my pocket knife over on the shelf, thinking about doing it again. I just wish I knew why I wanted to die, it never makes sense. I want to ask for help but I don't want my friend's pity or to go back into the mental hospital. I don't know how to escape it.

      @Critter101 that’s a fair concern. Personally though, none of the side effects were worse than what I was already feeling. I went through a couple of different types of medications before I found what worked for me. If you have a doctor you can trust, I suggest being honest with them about your concerns

        @justpeachyqueen Thank you. I've thought about going back into therapy or trying meds but I'm just worried it'll make it worse, there are so many side effects to these things.

      Getting rid of the knife helped me. Yes there's still knives in my house but i only ever used the one, and with it gone it helps prevent the urge. It worked for me, maybe itll help you
