Hi rjlockhart
I often wish I had some x's lying around...just in case if you know what I mean. It's probably not a good thing to keep around. One could get impulsive one day and get really sick. You'll feel really really bad if you take too much of something.

Yeah, we like you. Really. I have no friends. If you were nearby, I'd come visit.
Hope you can find some way to make things go your way. Let us know if theres anyway we can help.

Hi rjlockhart,
i like you, too.
i can identify with saying 'i hate my life' so well that i almost thought i wrote it myself. In another forum i've a post titled something like that.
It's way way too hard to feel that way, i'm so sorry that you do rjlockhart. i hope that it passes soon. Sometimes going outside helps, especially if it's woods or seashore. or to a Good church- i'm trying to do that now. You don't want to go to a condemning church.
Whatever you do- don't take an OD. It's something you'll be sorry about because at least it would help if people like you-and they do- sometimes it gets so bad that it doesn't even matter that people like me. Don't take an OD because then you'd be sick besides feeling bad and maybe made to drink black yuccy slurpy of charcoal- or have tubes put into your nose- so painful PLUS be treated so badly and possibly lose your freedom for weeks, committed to an institution where there is no computer or anything good or fun to do to distract you from feeling bad and not in touch with everyone that likes you
so
at least you have your freedom and things can be way worse.
Take care of you, k?

Matt, You know I like you and I know how you feel. I'm going through the same thing you are. And I won't go into a hospital again. Previous poster right about at least being able to Babble to distract yourself. Maybe we need to both write to Spriggy? She has so much hope. And when she thought she was so sick she had faith and now everything is better. You're young I'm old dealing with different issues, but remember I'm here for you. Maybe we can help each other. Fondly, Phillipa

I made the mistake of saying, "If it weren't for my husband and my children, I wish I were dead."
while in the emergency room. I woke up in a place that was probably worse than a prison cell.On a lighter note, when we are in the depths of depression, we have to remember that our feelings are lying to us. We were made for a reason. God has a plan for us.

yup...everybody's been there. For some people, its worse than for others, but the point remains...the answer to your despair is *not* ending your life. Thats just a violent, desperate act that doesn't help anyone--you, your family, your friends, so on and so forth. So please don't OD or otherwise try to harm yourself...it will *only* make the situation worse. When I get really depressed, I re-read *Man's Search for Meaning*, a book by Victor Frankel...anyway, he was a Holocaust survivor and psychiatrist who developed "Logotherapy," which for a time was a viable alternative to Freudian psychoanalysis (since drugs have taken over psychiatry, cool approaches like this have been tossed aside in favor of the RX pad). Anyway, he always asked his depressed patients one question to begin: "Why haven't you committed suicide?" When you think about that--the people, places, ideas, beliefs, possibilities that keep you from killing yourself-- you'll find yourself feeling much more hopeful; whatever your answers are (and you will have reasons), those are the things that you need to focus on right now, because they are the most important parts of your life. Good luck!

Hi Matt,
I have been following your posts ever since you joined PB and I think I am not alone when I say that PB would not be the same without you! You have a keen sense of humor and always say something that makes me laugh. I took you up on your invitation to see your pics and you are a handsome, young man. I really understand your hating your life right now. I went through the very same thing after high school. Looking back I think that what I needed was a mentor (outside of my family) to help me see and more importantly believe that I was a really great person with a lot of potential. My family was a little nutzy like yours and my parents were not good at being parents. I believe you could greatly improve your feelings about yourself by getting involved in activities and people who bring out the best in you. :) Hugs, Laurie
