Re: Experiences with Suicide

[kallanda_lee]

I'm so sorry. You sound a bit like me, and lord knows that is not a good thing.

I'm back to thinking about death a lot, too. It sucks. Though I think actually coming close once (okay, more than once) put me off trying again (and for the record, I do NOT recommend that as a method).

But yes, being depressed can cloud things, but sometimes things just objectively suck.

First of all: is there someone to talk to? Not necessarily a professional, but someone who will acknowledge you being depressed AND your life currently being shitty without being judgmental or dragging their own shit into it?

Secondly, are there steps you can take to un-suck your life? Not all at once obviously, but step by step? By this I mean very concrete things - if your industry is dying, could you take joy in doing something else, what?

Are there ways to generate money on the side? This could be anything from a side job to having an Etsy shop o buying/reselling on Ebay?

Also, if you are taking medication (and it's for mental health) are you sure it's still the right dosage? Could you benefit from a different brand? Resistances can change over the years.

If all else fails, are you in a place that would make you eligible for disability if you have a mental illness? If yes, what are the criteria?

Sorry that's all I have. Keep in mind I'm not great at un-fucking my own life. The last time I was in a similar state I was still a minor, so it was different in many ways, as were the solutions. And the solution was basically: scratch everything, start over, do't look back - which is indeed a lot harder when you have a job and a partner.

In any case, take care, and if you need to talk, let me know, I'll give you my e-mail (I'm also on tumblr, but slower to respond there).
