I tried to take my life today. Obviously I failed...!!
I am so very lonely in this world
Strange though that now, I am determined to change things for the better
There IS hope. Just have to find it
Man - there is always hope.
I wrote a suicide note a couple of weeks back after a heavy drinking session where I was on edge and it scared me because I had never done that before.
But 2 days later I was better after talking things through a little with some close family members.
Now I am focused on challenging my fears a little each day, accepting myself a little more each day and looking forward to the spring and summer.
I realise that all of us - ALL - have issues and problems and we all need to help from others but we have to help ourselves most of all.
We are approaching Feb 1 - think ahead 3 months to May 1 and summer - what can you achieve in those 3 months - lose a little weight, meet some people, get a part time job, start swimming etc - and go for it!
Best of luck buddy!
