Manic Depression accompanied by Suicidal Ideation
My entire life i have been in this messed up mental state. My earliest memory is of me dying. The following memories do not get better. Altogether through it all i have died and been resussitated nine or ten times. The first and third time i died i was murdered. Once with glass in my wrist to the bone, when i was five or six. Once again with a heavy glass ashtray against my cranium, cracked my forehead and bruised the prefrontal cortex of my brain. What killed me was the bleeding. The second and forth time i died were both accidental, once i fell from an oak tree, and then once again when i was run over unintentionally by my younger brother in a volkswagon. The other five or six deaths have been successful suicides in unsuccessful locations. Twice ive slit my wrists and bled myself out like a hog, to be brought back with stitches and a blood transfusion. Twice ive murdered myself with alcohol only to have my stomach pumped and system defibulated. And once when i ate 75 prozak, vicoden, xanax, addorrall , hydro, oxy, and a thick line of coke n meth mixed... no hospital saved me then... she sat by me for three days and held me close as i vomited and deficated and urinated and cried and died... she told me ive at least died twice... ...ive lost a bit of fmily and friends as well... a brother, a cousin, 6 uncles, four aunts, my first girlfriend, my first bestfriend, my first boyfriend, and over the course of years 15 friends have all ethet killed thereselves, been murdered,died naturally or accidentally. My daughter... was killed by her mother who then killed herself.... My sis is now a permanant resident at a mental health/rehabilitation clinic, and the rest of those alive have all either turned to drugs or alcohol or both to kill the memories... no body ever talks about it out loud... for fear of triggering someone else s episode... nobody visits the graves.... And i had to clean the eviscerated remains of my daughter out of the sink myself, the paramedics and police, and other county officials refused... ........yea... im depressed... and the meds dont work, wouldnt work if i even took them... and the ones that do work turn my into a retarded drooling vegetable. I am not a retarded drooling vegetable, i am am intelligent, though dyslexic, human man. The injury and heartache hasnt made me stupid its made me sad. So why do people want to treat me like im stupid? I flow through a thousand thoughts a minute. Ive written and destroyed novels, ive got an art portfolio of over three thousand finished sketches five hundred finished paintings seventy five wall sized murals. I can speak spanish, and a little bit of latin. I have a heart and dream and think and feel and love and reason with logical analysis of every conundrum i am presented with. But when anybody in my circle of friends and family is told about my manic depression suicidal ideation they immediately assume im special ed and cant even read... like theres something wrong with me like im fucking autistic or schizophrenic or mentally undevolopped...
Theres nothing wrong with being schizophrenic or having autism. You say it as if its something people cant learn to live with. Maybe a counsellor will help someone who can listen to you. Just because you have all these things and you think your smart is irrelevant to the way you mentally feel.
Yea i apologize it was not my intention to make those problems sound intolerable. I actually have a couple cousins who are autistic and my mother is schizophrenic. My whole point is im saddened at certain ppl in my life thinking im mentally incontinent. Perhaps i expressed this harshly in a moment of anger, thank you for pointing this out... and i do not think i am the wisest alive i just feel like im smarter then they give me credit for you know? Not the smartest by far but not entirely uninformed. and yea, ive tried therapy, but most my therapist have usually been unsure how to help and so instead ive been used as a guinea pig for different drugs and therepeutical nonsense.
Evil Behemoth
Even your name says it all. What you describe sounds almost unbearable. It is difficult to contemplate how anybody can go through all you have been through and to be still standing, ...or creeping even.
What I hear you want most is for somebody to just listen and hear. To hear what you have to say and to hear what you are without judging and pulling appart and constructing who and what you are.Maybe what you are also saying, is that if someone could perhaps really hear what you are saying, that maybe, maybe there could be a glimmer of hope that you could also again believe that you are not stupid and with something to offer. Maybe if it only is your own truth.
Thank you for teaching us by insisting that we listen.
You are truly courageous to carry on communicating, even in the face of year and years of nobody really hearing.
I dont speak english, im from mexico and yesterday and the monday i was thinking kill me. Sorry for my post. Im bipolar and is so hard live in this way. I dont drink pills. I try to live for myself dont for the pills. Sometimes i want die because i dont want a packet for anybody. I lost my baby in 2008, and this kill me inside. I love my dogs and they are my reason for fight everyday. When i think about suicide i feel so bad and cry. Sometimes i hate myself. Just cry and i wait dont hurt me. Its horrible, because i dont eat or sleep. Some days i listen voices in my head saying bad things. I hope that one day, all my pain dont stay with me. I dont want hurt me again, i stay in this situation 1 year. The last year,i take all my pills in one shot. I lost me for 3 days. For this reason i dont want pills. Its hard but no impossible. I know that i can win this fight. Thank you.
