[quote=Anonymous]Because I knew the pain I was feeling was going to be transferred to the people I left behind. Because I didn’t want people to think I was weak and “took the easy way out”.

So I made some rules:
1) I would never do it impulsively. Meaning having a bad day or week and suddenly doing it.

2) I would do everything possible to deal with my depression. Try every technique, every medication, every therapy. So if I did do it, I could show my loved ones how hard I tried to stay for them. And hope they would understand that I tried everything and was still in pain

3) I would never lie if directly asked about suicidal thoughts or plans.

I often cursed the universe because I wanted to die so badly. But I hung on. And luckily I found the right cocktail of medication and I got better. And my life is better than I could ever imagine it.

OP- keep holding on. Keep trying to get help. If trying to get help is overwhelming, find someone to help you. I recently found a therapist for a friend who was just overwhelmed by everything. Know that it can and does get better. [/quote]
