I failed this morning.

I was on my way and when I figured out where I was I was trying to figure out why the noise was so loud until I pulled the rope away from my neck and a moment later I could tell what had happened.

I have to know if this is worth continuing.I've sent a message to my therapist. Asking if it gets any better. I'm wrapped up in a blanket but truth is, if this is all there is, trying to stay out of THIS PLACE. and not much more, I don't want to keep trying.

Does it get better?
 
Regardless of interpretation, it is a charged post and a cry for help past that of suicide ideation and in need of professional assistance stat.

Guest... I am asking the country so that I might be able to assist with helpline numbers. Do you have those numbers at your disposal..are you there?

Ok...this has connects with numbers globe wide on the right hand side of the html
 
I've sent a message to my therapist.
I think a few members may have overlooked this part of the post.

I interpret the post as the person, speaking post a failed suicide attempt, asking if things get better as they are finding the struggle to stop themselves from committing suicide difficult. I feel they are seeking hope/inspiration/something positive from members speaking about how they overcame the struggle of wanting to suicide. JMHO.

I guess that was too much to multi-quote but i agree though not the best person to give a "getting better" reply as ive had 28 failed actual didnt tell anyone attempts and have thought about and do think about it every day since i was 8; so thats a long time and 6 yrs in therapy...i often wonder does it ever get better?

I guess the best advise i have is when you're in that suicide thought mode or getting there; try to busy your mind, ive also writting things down, im a cutter so ive held onto ice cubes as long as i can cuz it involves pain but doesnt hurt you (or have cut as though not good, im still alive; its to not commit suicide), talk to a friend, vent on here (thats been helping me). Not much help, i know but all i have.
 
What stopped me was guilt. What helped was proffessionals. What got me through were friends.

Whatever kept you from yourself is not deliverance. Best to avoid it if it brings you back there. If you cannot avoid it, get to the professionals stat: aka hospital. They will keep you safe. It may not be a place you want to go but in order to get to to get better you need to do it.
