What Could Be Worse Than Dying? Suffering

There was a moment in time where I actually wanted to end my life and I acted on it. I overdosed on medication and was sent to the hospital directly. As they tried to get the poison out of my blood I was completely out of touch with reality there was so much pain it was just unbearable. I'm never going to do that again I hope. Just wanted to share my thoughts about it. Dying should never be an alternative choice in life even if you are suffering. There's always something to look forward to even when there's not.
 
I hope you never do that again CBX, you are a strong individual who deserves to have a wonderful life.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts - it is true that dying should not be an alternative but so many times life is just so miserable that I do not want even one minute longer of this miserable existence that even if there will be better moments in the future, they are not worth today's misery.
 
Glad you are okay CBX9!!

Thanks a3a2. Struggling in life is worst part to me. So much that it causes me to do stupid things like what I said. The only way I think I can get better is by continuing to go to therapy and get into an anger management class. *sigh* I don't know but I've never tried it. It might help and it might not. If it doesn't help then I know I suffer from PTSD and I'm not or was lying about it. :) It's frustrating trying to make choices like this you don't know if you're being manipulated by people or just being paranoid about everything.

CBX, that is complete nonsense. Because something doesn't work for you has nothing to do with whether you have PTSD or not. Your thinking is completely irrational and you're trying to have something that you just don't demonstrate having with the core root of your problems.

I am placing a temp ban on your account to force you to look at your actual diagnoses and talk with others on those relevant communities to see just how much you have in common with them. You just do not demonstrate characteristics of PTSD to warrant me watching you get further away from what your physicians are telling you. You're making stuff up to try and justify to yourself you have PTSD, when nothing about you is about trauma, but instead you're just focused on anger, paranoia and social anxiety.

That seems a bit ironic. This person is struggling with a variety of issues, and whether or not he has PTSD - and you don't know him from Adam, but are confident that he 'doesn't' have PTSD and are shutting him down from the site. Maybe his anger and paranoia are related to past trauma. Wouldn't it be in a better interest for people to actually interact with him to give him a better idea of what PTSD is? Maybe a conversation should take place, with compassion and interest, instead of judgment passed

Firstly... this is a PTSD forum for those with PTSD, not for everyone and anyone with any diagnosis.

Maybe, just maybe, you have no idea what this member has been up-to off of this forum with other members... and you aren't privy to or need to know because it's above your membership level. As a new member NGR, you should stick with supporting other members and helping yourself, and not worry about administrative actions that are taken here. I have a lot of compassion, empathy and interest in PTSD here, and its associated trauma. I don't though for anyone wishing to flaunt this site, or its members, for their purpose outside of PTSD.

It is not for you to decide who this forum is for, and you should leave this for staff to worry about. This is a mental health forum and things are just not what they always seem to you, as a member.
