Maybe you've read my other posts, but maybe not, so for what its worth, I'll breifly explain again,
Well, ive had alot of family problems, been verbally and emotionally abused, both by my own father and by the kids at school. Been suicidal, Self harmed, and stopped. But, like I mentioned in one of my other posts, my friend hasnt been well, at all, and yesterday she overdosed, then asked me "how long till I start dieing" she said her intention wasnt to die at all, but the whole topic was hard for me to deal with, as I nearly died of an overdose a couple of years back. Luckily my friend was sleeping over, if it wasnt for her, i'd of broken down and let go there and then. Walking down the road to clear our heads, I started crying and almost ended up in a heap on the floor. My friends fine, or she will be. But now its me i'm worried about, I dont want to slip back into being suicidal, it was hard for me then, and I dont want to feel like that again. But I cant help it anymore, i'm too weak. I'm lieing to everyone, including myself and trying to hold on to something thats slipping away from me. What am I supposed to do when I finally lose hope? Because I know its not going to take long now. I keep thinking to myself, you dont want to cut, you dont want to die, yet im still left with this doubt in my mind of, do i? I've been scared of myself and what I could do to myself for a long time, but not as scared as this. I'm blaming myself for anything and everything I can, including my friends overdose, as I told her about my own, and that I came out alive. I'm finding any reason to make myself feel worse. I'm always on the verge of a breakdown, on the verge of losing it, and on the verge of giving up once and for all. Nobody knows how hard its getting for me, and I cant tell anyone, I cant.

thanks, but i'm not really in a position where i could talk to a counceller, I know it would help, but I cant bring myself to tell my family at the moment. I'll try to keep going, because I know the last thing my friends want is for me to lose it like I did then again. thanks again. :)

I'm so sorry you're feeling this way! I honestly hope things get better! You really have to realize that you aren't responsible over everything in your life. You just have to let go and move forward and get help!

Thanks, but that really is easier said than done, i've been telling myself to let go for years, and I never have, every time I did, something would pull me straight back and i'd find myself holding on to the things I was supposed to let go of once again. I know I should get help, and I should get it soon before I do anything stupid, but I cant bring myself to. I know i'm not responsibe for everything, but it was the way I was brought up, anything would be my fault, which makes me instantly blame everything on myself. I'm going to keep trying to let go and move on, and maybe even get help, but at the moment I dont know if I can make that step. Thanks again.

Well, whenever you feel like you can, best of luck! You just have to look at the big picture and see how much happier and stable you'll be when you do take those steps!

Hey there :)

Please don't feel bad or ashamed to say you're struggling. I think you're a very strong person to have gotten this far, to come out of it alive as you say, and to keep fighting it.

People make their own decisions. You can't be held responsible for someone else's unless you forced her to take those pills.

If you do find yourself falling back into that hole, and losing hope (and beleive me honey it happens to all of us, you're not alone), just remember that you've come out of it before, and you will again.

And lastly, PM me if ever you want to talk of course.
