I feel hopeless
Two days ago I attempted to take my own life, for the second time.
This time I almost succeded. It is painful to say it since I know it’s not an easy thing to read. I am hoping someone who has been through this can give me some hope, some sort of relief, or motivation. I just don’t see a way out of this. I sincerely cannot continue on like this. I’m beyond exhausted. And nothing works.
I just want it to end.
Maybe other people out there are feeling the same way as me and will be able to read this thread and find some solace and support regarding what they’re feeling… I truly hope so
Hi! Sorry to hear that you're having a rough time and having extreme thoughts. I want to tell you that you're not alone. I don't know if my reply helps you in any way but I've had similar thoughts in the past few days and I know how repetitive they can be. I just want to tell you to hold on. These are thoughts. These are some difficult days. They'll pass if we let them. ❤️
Hugs *if ok* 🫂
We all are here and we'll fight this. Each time we think about it, let's just remind ourselves that this is just another difficult day and all we need to do today is to breathe. That is the only task for today. 🤍
I hope you find the strength to deal with these thoughts. Remember that our brain can sometimes convince us for a few things just because it also has a dark side. But, we have another voice that we need to listen to. The one that wants us to be here. That knows what we have been fighting for.
So, just breathe. ❤️
thank you kind friend, hugs right back <3
I believe in you. We all are here in this together. <3🌻🌻
thank you @Yougotmyback 🥺🫶🏼 we are, and I appreciate the support
🫂❤️💕
I'm proud of you for seeking support. That is a huge step itself. Do respond to this thread whenever you have such thoughts and I believe the world is not as small as it gets in our mind sometimes. We're not alone. We all are under the same sky and we deserve to be here.
<3
@Yougotmyback you’re so kind, thank you 🥺🫶🏼🩷
@petal19,
Hey , I am not sure I have the right words that you wish to hear . You might be feeling that the world is coming crashing down on you rn and you don't know how to balence it and some other days you might not feel anything , just numbness. It's hard to figure out which is worse because both kinda sucks .
I don't know your story. I don't know what made try to attempt suicide. Whatever it is , please try to remember that it's valid. So much valid. There would be people belittling your battle , maybe because they have seen worse ,but anything that has caused you so much pain , that you felt like giving up was the only option? That is valid .
It's always difficult to go back to a life that you once decided to end , but I am so very glad you are here. I know you are still wrestling the same tough feelings , ones that are close and loud , that don't seem to go away. Looking ahead , to the future that you once decided you don't need ? Bewildering right?
I don't know where you are in your healing journey . But I know you are tired. I know right now you’d rather leave than live. But even though I’m not standing in your shoes right now, and even though I don’t know you, and even though I have no right at all — I’m asking you to stick around.
I am not going to tell you that people who love you wants you stay.. because if love was enough, world would be different . . I am telling you to stay cus If you stick around, you will reach a spot that the sadness won’t let you see right now — you’ll reach a tomorrow.
And that place is filled with possibility. It’s a day you’ve never been to. It’s not this terrible day. There, you will not feel exactly what you are feeling right now. You may be stronger, or see things differently, or find a clearing, and life may look a way it hasn’t in a long time: It may look like worth staying for. Sometimes we are so focused on the here and now, we forget that it’s not forever. That this too shall pass. I want you to give yourself a chance to share space with that hope — to dance with it, to rest in it, to dream within it because you deserve it. For the tomorrow that you deserve to see…Please, stick around.If you stick around you can go for another walk to see the sun set or rise or both (that is of you are not lazy to walk like me. ) Or if you are like me , you can have another delicious pizza , the one that’ll cause you to make an actual audible noise in public . If you stay , you can listen to your favourite song and dance as if no one is watching , and even better? Don't care even if they are...If you stick around you can out live your demons..Oh and there will be other stuff too. Disappointments and heartache and regrets and mistakes. And yes, there’ll be moments of despair and painful seasons and dark nights of the soul you’ll need to endure. You’ll screw things up and be let down. You’ll hurt, and you’ll wonder how you’ll ever make it. But then you’ll remember the *** you walked through to get here— and you’ll realize you’re gonna be okay. Because another tomorrow is still waiting for you, to dance and rest and dream within.
I don’t know if this has made you feel a tad bit better or hurt or really if it’s made any sense at all. This is a reminder from someone who sees what you may not see from here, the future, one that’ll be a lot better with you in it.This is a plea and a promise, a dare and an invitation. Stay.
@Skytied , this was so beautifully written, and inspiring. thank you, truly, for taking the time to write these beautiful encouraging words to a stranger in need 🥺 this made a huge difference. It was somehow exactly what I needed to hear. I’ll save it to read anytime I feel low 🫶🏼 sending you a big virtual hug
@petal19 hey you. Sometimes giving up seems the only option left to do😥 but please remember storm clouds will come, but the sun always shines through soon. Please in times of desperate need reach out to someone. ❤ you are here on earth for a reason, maybe to give hope to others feeling the way you do. It helps me to make gratitude lists, reasons that make the world a place worth living in. Like a babys first smile, or the sunset or a bird's song. When everything seems hopeless try to find smiles in the little things. Please don't give up. Gives you a giant tiny hug ❤ let's you know your not alone, and we are here for you ❤
@Tinywhisper11 this is so sweet of you to say, thank you so so much for the encouraging words, they mean a lot 🥺🩷 and the hug (even if virtual) is very appreciated 🫶🏼
@petal19 my virtual arms are always open for you ❤❤❤ hugs you tightly ❤❤
There's a lot of people who have the same feelings as you
But nothing least forever
