Re: question dealing with topic of suicide

I will definitely second the "nothing you say in a note will help" sentiments.

This is kind of "cool story bro" of me but just hear me out. I understand where you're coming from because I was where you are earlier this year. I had some serious psychological problems and spent literally every waking minute terrified and in utter misery. I did everything: I took Xanax, saw a therapist, downed way too much Nyquil--anything that would make me feel better. I felt certain it would never get better because it came completely out of the blue and seemed to only get worse and worse. Every day I was ready to kill myself. But even though it was hard, I just went to sleep instead. Sleep is a nice escape from your problems--and the nice thing is that it's not a final decision. You can always wake up and try to live again.

Anyway, I thought it would never end, but I started taking Prozac and things are so much better now. I'm so glad I didn't kill myself, because I am having a wonderful summer now and I feel free from the panic that plagued me before. I'll be honest with you: I'm not sure things do always get better. Sometimes they probably don't. And if someone told me I would never get better a few months ago, I would not have thought twice about killing myself. But you know what? I honestly think that, usually, they do get better. And it's important to hold onto that hope. You owe it to yourself and to those who love you to do everything in your power to do your best to go on. Have you called a crisis hotline? Seen a therapist? Tried starting anti-depressants? Just try everything, and until things get better, just go to sleep whenever you feel like killing yourself. I know that's probably not very helpful--nothing helps much when you're in that dark a place--but I just want you to know that you can get through it.

+1 I used to go to sleep when I was suicidal too.

My depressed periods were coupled with dissociation and severe exhaustion. It's just the way my body works, probably.

I'd take muscle relaxers, melatonin, or nyquil. My big problem was getting out of bed in the morning because all I wanted to do was laze around and stare at nothing, but I always had problems going to sleep.

I took everything: benadryl (surprisingly effective), Nyquil, Xanax, melatonin, sometimes some alcohol. Usually all at once. I'm also an insomniac so it was a pain enough just getting to sleep, but once I was asleep I usually stayed that way even through my roommate's snoring.
