Title: So tired of this masquerade
Post by: Jess on December 14, 2010, 08:20:02 PM
Hiya, yep its me again,

I suppose its just one of those weeks, everyday i think of suicide or at least causing some serious self harm, at the moment i have managed to fight off these feelings but honestly im so trired of doing that. The things i would do just to escape for a little while ( i don't mean drugs ).

I know my depression is getting worse because i have found myself judging how i look as so if i did decide to kill myself, i would not look messy or dirty. Somedays i think 'yes today is fine, if i was to die today that would be fine' others i think 'better wash my hair if i want to slit my throat'. I know i need help, i know i do but some little part of me just wants to pretend that this is just a phase and that it will all work out.

I deliberatly didn't take any medication for two days last week, just to see how long any effects would be, i came to my senses and took my injections, although i did pay the price for my lapse of sanity. I felt so stupid that i couldn't go through with it, maybe if i was alone then i may have but seen as i was surrounded by people 24/7, im pretty sure they would notice if i just collapsed on the floor.

Some days i don't feel like dying some i just wish i was in a coma - just some sort of release from life, that may sound stupid or even a little inappropriate but honestly i can't help what my mind desires.


Thanks for reading, Jess xx

Hi Jess good to hear from you hun sorry you are unwell at the moment, but you know you are such  a wee Jem (should call u that lol) and so wise with your words helping other on the forum.  This time of year can be such a trial with all the so called merriment and pressure, have had a horrible time over the past fews with the addition of chest pain.  Take care

Jess, you're coming here and being honest which is giving me a kick up the backside.  Should really be posting but I have a bad habit of withdrawing into myself and completely avoid situations that will help ::) .... I've been waking up for about the past 2 or 3 weeks wishing I could just curl up and die.  Been to see the dr today who has prescribed me meds.  Fortunately I have a doctor whohas a great sense of human and knows how to deal with me so I came out feeling better without starting on the meds  &^%

Hi Jess, I too have the same thoughts as you are having im always trying to find a reason not to harm myself like I couldnt do anything now as its almost christmas and if I did noone that cares would  be happy on christmas. Maybe you too need to find yourself a reason also? Anyway hope you feel better.

Hi Jess (and Lightenup and Ezel and Junior)
So sorry to hear you're all having a tough time. I know it's so hard but please don't give up. What else can I say? Thinking of you all.

Hi jess, I always find that around October November December and January and some of february are prime months for me to feel absolutely desolate and suicidal. These are the months that I usually end up back at the Doctor and increasing my AD. Perhaps in the lack of sunlight, the dull weather. I know it doesn't help.
