WOW that was hard to twist into a question.
I've agonised all week and realised I really don't want to die - I want to cease to exist until I have a path leading me out of my current situation. Suicide doesn't fit that though. It really doesn't feel like the implementation of a rational decision - no matter how sad I may feel.
It's just so positive and I can't rush out and tell everyone because they couldn't know how dangerous I was (suicide is deceptive by its nature)
Anyway I am absolutely fishing for compliments - please don't leave unkind answers - even if they are witty.
Ash

Well done Ash. Really good to hear you've worked out for yourself that what you want isn't to die, but for the situation you are in to change. Good luck in going about it. Wish you happiness.

Congratulations! I am so glad that you were able to beat that thought down! The "victims" of suicide are not the ones who commit it but rather, their family and friends. I wish that my brother had had the strength to beat it as you did. We lost him 2 years ago. You have determined that suicide is not the answer (which is great!) but you really need some guidance and probably some antidepressants. I have been in the place where I wanted to "cease to exist". Thank God I had a Dr. that recognized it for what it was and put me on antidepressants and sent me to a therapist. I am not a Dr. (of medicine) but do know depression when I hear it. Depression is not the plague or a stigma, it is a chemical imbalance that is easily balanced by modern meds. Please go see a Dr. ASAP (as in tomorrow morning). If your current Dr. doesn't consider suicidal thoughts to be an emergency, then call another. I am rooting for you all the way because, as they say, "been there, done that". Don't delay because those thoughts may come back. Get'r done!!!!! P.S. I am Dean S.'s wife, not him

Congratulations. I hope you start to feel better soon.
I have been using an alternative therapy called Emotional Freedom Technique for anxiety and depression which has helped me a lot. I only have mild anxiety and depression now. It has really worked for me and I have been feeling a lot better since using EFT. It's very good at getting rid of all kinds of negative emotions and dealing with all kinds of issues quickly. It does sound crazy but does work. Might be something that can help you. These are some links about it.

Hi Ash, I'd like to congratulate you. What you need to do is turn all the negative thoughts into positive ones.Look at all the good things in your life & see where you can change things that may not be so good. I would suggest though that you go & see your doctor & tell him how you felt & then he can give you the help to turn your life right round again. Keep your chin up & good luck

Maybe instead of fishing for compliments turn your success into use by helping others who feel as you did, build something positive out of your misfortune, I have never had depression or felt suicidal but I am lead to under stand its becoming a serious problem, if you really have over come your urge to commit suicide answer questions in your words to other who have similar problems that's what these answers are all about, good luck in the future, strive to do well in all you do, but don't worry about things you have no control over.

The extremely unhappy ingredient is that no longer all aids transmission is with the aid of voluntary intercourse. there are various many circumstances of rape in Africa, so in those situations condoms does no longer be used despite the fact that in the event that they have been available. It style of makes the condom ingredient futile lower back. Then there is the reality that different intercourse is unprotected through fact people prefer to reproduce. people won't be conscious that they've aids and don't think of they choose a condom through fact of it. and then some will possibly no longer prefer to apply condoms. the base line is which you would be able to no longer consistently decide African society the comparable as western societies. Our societies are diverse. it extremely is actual that preparation is mandatory, yet some issues in basic terms prefer won't substitute except regulations substitute. Condoms are a staggering initiate in some techniques; it a minimum of helps people who've intercourse for excitement. yet additionally issues like shamanism should be addressed. A Christian buddy of mine who's doing missionary paintings this summer season has advised people who the foremost reason infants interior the section she is going to have aids is with the aid of the fact one 'therapy' is noted via shamen as being to have intercourse with a virgin. and because a man or woman can in basic terms be a virgin as quickly as, youthful and youthful childrens are getting used for this purpose, and so are being contaminated with AIDs. preparation is mandatory. yet self-discipline is likewise mandatory. And the ingredient it relatively is maximum mandatory is greater examine on what's certainly going on, through fact till all of us understand that (and we gained't decide what's going on on the comparable standards as interior the U. S. and so on through fact existence is diverse and harder available for each man or woman) then throwing condoms or funds or help workers at them could no longer be plenty use in any respect.
