I'm not sure how much more pain I can deal with.



i feel like that virtually every day, if you do have P.T.S.D. then this part of it.   im not going to lie to you it doesn't get any easier but you will learn to cope with it and after the first session on wednesday with a really good P.T.S.D. specialist i know that getting help is possible, just a nice relaxing session of talking mostly crap to her and getting advice from her really helped.
when i talked about suicide she was really good about it.   basically saying right you have the suicide card and you can keep hold of it and play it if you ever really think you feel like you need to but try not to play it yet, just give me a chance and keep hold of that card till we have had a few sessions, then think about what to do then.
so its ok to think about it and want to do it but try and hold off for a little while and give some one the chance to help you, it may not be the first person you see but please try.
we care about you and what happens to you and want to help.

  also try joining a P.T.S.D. forum for a bit of advice and help. i very rarely use them as i stay with here as i feel its more warm and welcomeing.

I just hate everything that's going on.

I don't have everything I need to do it so don't worry too much.

we will still worry as its a very hard decision for you to make,   firstly its not a cowards way out, its extremly hard to do and requires a lot of strength, but its also far easier to do than you think but most importantly its a final decision, theres no going back.   i have had a few failed attempts and its horrific, as soon as you start, you get a tiny bit of relief but that lasts seconds, then panic and fear set in, the things that are important to you in your life that you cant think of now will come to you in what could be your final moments and you will wish you hadnt made the wrong decision. 
im not trying to suger coat anything and give you the parts that will put you off.   my second attempt was compleatly diffrent, its sick but i enjoyed it and was happy about everything ending. then i failed again, i felt worse than ever after that, like a HUGE failure, i failed at life and failed at ending it.

some people might read that and think it might be the wrong thing to say as it did show a slightly pro for suicide but i believe its something you need to know and hopefully it will make you think a lot more.


:'( been pretty upsetting posting this, its not a thing i really like talking about but if it helps some one else then its definitely worth it 



my thoughts are with you and im only a pm away, i dont know how much help i can be as im in a pretty bad way to. the advice ive given or am likely to give may not be the best but i have good intentions and really do hope i can help.
If you think things can't get worse it's probably only because you lack sufficient imagination.

Cornish

Thanks for your post I do really appreciate it and it was all good sound stuff. Sorry it upset you writing it.

I forgot to say I spoke to my cpn about PTSD and she doesn't think I have it. I wasn't surprised I guess just cos someone had suggested it I did wonder.

Thanks for saying your only a pm away I'll bear it in mind.

Cornish that is one of the most fantastic posts I think I've ever read. It was so powerful and thought provoking. It is SO important to talk about things like this. If we shy away from the subject of suicide and make it taboo in a place like this it will always be misunderstood and more likely to happen. You have given an insight into it that most of us have never known and education is always power.

I'm sorry it was upsetting for you to write that. It is a tribute to you that you found the strength for some one else in their time of need. You are remarkable.

when did all of this start for you, was it after the incident ? do you think you have it ??  it might be worth asking to see a P.T.S.D. if you feel like it could have any impact on the way you feel.  

a car accident caused mine and i dont really associate it with my P.T.S.D. but i have no memory of it being traumatic, but it is the cause (along with the other illnesses) of how i feel.

It all started for me 9 years ago when I had to leave the navy and then shortly after my best friend and some others I knew were killed in Iraq. I also lost a friend to a house fire in 1999. It's all very complicated and inter woven.

well i would say those are traumatic events and i think you should mention them, if u haven't to your  cpn.     



no need to be sorry about it upsetting me, it was my choice to post it,  if a bit of suffering can help some one else then its worth going though.
i was worried i would get the opposite reaction but im glad some one has found it useful

Ok so it's 1am and I'm wide awake. Probably not helped by me being in bed til 5 pm. Think I must be spending about 16 hours a day in bed. I'm just too scared of the world to get up. Its safe in my dreams under my duvet. Solicitors and divorce doesn't exist under my duvet. But then it gets to night time and im not tired and my head is just whirring with all the negatives. Why can't my head be clear like it is when I'm in bed during the day.

Hi Alstare and Cornish
Keep holding you heads up high, you have so much to give, your posts show that you have been through SO much, no wonder your brains do strange things sometimes --me too, and I have'nt had the sort of experiences you have had. I wish I understood these feelings. I just want to say that I know you are precious and valuable people, please don't be too hard on yourselves. We need understanding, comfort, peace in our hearts and love.

Thinking of you

I've had mine here for years Alstare, know where and how I'd do it too but thankfully I've so far not gone down that route, the thing that has always stopped me is how my friends and family would feel if I did.

If you ever get near to using whatever you've got please phone the samaritans or 999
