Still here but wish I wasn't

Hi all. It's been over a year now since my stay on intensive care after a large overdose. My medication appeared too be making a difference but because I am very impulsive it takes very little to push me back over the edge. Tried again last week but was stopped from jumping by a couple of young girls. I feel bad for them having to see me in that state but still wish I had jumped. I hate feeling like this especially as sometimes I just don't know how I am going to keep going through another day.

    Hi Paul, i think you could talk on here if you wanted to, we will listen to you and try to help. I have been where you have, try not to be alone, try to speak to someone and don't do anything rash, my counsellor told me this and they were right. You need to try to work out why you feel the way you do and if there is anything you can do to lessen that feeling. Good luck to you just take 1 day at a time.
