Hey there, honestly, I feel ya. Ben in the exact spot since my divorce three yeras back-total purposelessness, dealing with severe depression and total social isolation, plus addiction stuff and previous suicide attempts. Just trying to keep going one day at a time, you know? That's waht I'm telling myself anyway.

I was too embarrassed to mention that I attempted suicide three times last year but was unsuccessful each time.

What steps did you take?

I think this morning I took three bottles of temazepam, but it didn't help. So then I tried four boxes of epilim, and that didn't work either. Now I've taken four boxes of seroquel, but I'm still struggling. I wrote "DNR"-do not resuscitate-in big letters on my chest with texta. What have I done? They won't let me go.

Thanks for reading my message. Maybe good fortune will rain upon you.

I tried some pills once but they didn't work out well for me.I also drank a lot of vodka and took 32 paracetamol a long time ago, like 25 years back. I've been to places where it was really easy to end things-like bridges over 300-foot drops or cliffs that are around 350 feet high, walking along train platforms too. But I just can't seem to find the courage to go through with any of those options because it feels so final and scary. I donn't really want to be here anymore but I'm also scared of taking that big step. Depression is really rough. Just trynig to keep going for now, though....

Hey, I didn't mean to butt in on your convo. But I read through these comments, and it just broke my heart seeing how rough things are for you right now. Honestly, I know your situation must be super tough-please try to hold onto the idea that things will get better someday.

There's no shortage of folks out there who'd love to chat if you need someone to talk to. The world would miss you terribly if you weren't around. Sending so much positive energy your way and hoping things turn around for you real soon.

Hey there,

Thanks for reading my message-god knows I don't deesrve your kindness. You know when you feel like the scum on the sidewalk adn your self-worth is lower than roadkill? Yeah, that's how it is sometimes.

I keep wasting time, energy, food, money, and medicine, knwoing none of it's worth anything. And if you're wondering aboout the pst-I was molested as a kid, and it's like carrying around this weight that never goes away. Knowing someone used me for their own twisted desires really eats at my self-esteem.

Sorry to dump all this on you, but I just hope good luck follows you everywhere.

(((hugs)))

Hey there, don't rush into finding someone else, honestly. It's a big deal to jump into a new relationship too fast, you know? For me, trying out different activities where you can meet people has always been helpful because when folks are in a serious relationship, it's tougher to start over and figure out how to socialize with others. Plus, having a fresh group of friends is super important since we often find ourselves in a comfort zone after being part of a couple. The thing is, if your pals were cloes with you and your ex, sometimes those friendships can fade away when the relationship ends.

And if you'e on any medication, give it at least six weeks to get used to it before diving back into things. It's all about taking it slow adn letting yourself adjust. Eventually, you'll settle in and make new friends-it just takes time

I hope things are getting better for you now. If not, maybe try to see your GP again and consider therapy too. Finding the rihgt medication can really help sometimes. I remember someone once said something like 'keep going when you're in tough times'. So, keep reaching out for support until you find what works best for you.
