Firstly , I am on my phone so bear with my responses if they seem short and sweet.
@TheLongTwitch and @wiesbang thank you so much for sharing your stories with us , I hope that you found a sense of clarity and relief in sharing that. The best therapy anyone can have is through talking and sharing , especially with those who understand the disease and how crippling it can be , especially in daily life.
Medication is nothing but a crutch in our lives and the only way to get through this is by mindset change. We need to be able to see ourselves how others perceive us , the members participating in this topic are mirrors and reflect ourselves back upon us.
The only way we can fully recover is to participate in discussion and therapy. We are bound by our condition and therefore we all have an immense bond without having any personal relationship. There is a love that we can share with each other because we can fully understand how difficult it can be to get out of bed everyday and look "alive".
I have been putting on the brave face for so long that I even had my doctors fooled into thinking I was ok. I had learned to lie to the extent that I thought I was ok when I truly wasn't.
I am learning this time around that only when you become brutally honest with yourself can you start the journey onwards and upwards.
The irrationality of suicidal tendencies is a dark , downward spiral that I wish upon no one. Once you reach that stage , you are so used to being in "auto pilot" that you forget emotion , you are hollow and empty. Being there , is exhausting. There is very little will or desire to push through because we are so emotionally broken at this point that it seems easier to give up than try fight this battle everyday.
People that do commit suicide are not cowards as "normal" society dictates , I believe them to have more courage than most to fully be able to proceed with what in most cases is a terribly traumatic and painful experience.
Nobody will ever understand that feeling until you get to the point where you have so little value in your own life , that you feel like you are a burden or liability to your loved ones.
Never forget , YOU ARE NOT WEAK, you are powerless to your disease , much like a cancer patient to their ailment. We can heal , but never truly cure our disease.
Medication can help , therapy can help , but speaking out can truly help us recover and heal ourselves from this pain we experience on a daily basis.
YOU ARE NOT ALONE , YOU ARE IMPORTANT , YOU MATTER AND YOU ARE LOVED.
I wish you all the love and light that life can offer you during this time , and KNOW that we are all in this together , and together we can succeed.
@wiesbang , I'll talk to you via pm regarding medical aid solutions.
Much love to all.
