Like you said, getting some help is better than death!!

Go for it.


well except for the part about being screwed over with the whole college thing and being forced to live in my moms s**thole of a living room on the couch, right in everyones plain sight. college is the only way in hell for me to have enough money to move out.....and If I do anything about whats going on with me it will ruin the college thing and I will be completly f*cked and I will be forced to live somewhere I cannot stand. I mean lets be real if I got help its not like they actually give a f**k what happens to me once I'm sent out on my own again. They don't care if my only options are homeless or moms couch. With death I dont have to worry about those things.

My specifics are different, but I am in a similar boat. The only "hope" I actually have is really quite shaky, yet I do still cling to the bits of attention I do get from others even if/when I have to make a nuisance of myself before getting any at all. You might not want to embrace my particular "style" or whatever, but I am not going to just give up and die without first being sure certain f*ckers know they should have put at least a little more effort into my particular case.

Do not let other people off too easily.

I've been having on and off anxiety all day....it got very hard to focus in class a couple of times and even now i am not breathing right because of how much effort I am putting into staying fairly calm. I am just kind of freaking out about this. And I need some advice on something.......if it should get to the point especially in class or on the college campus in general where this feeling takes over and I end up freaking out. Will that pretty much screw over my chance of attending college? I really want to make this work but I don't know how long I can keep how I feel under control and not act on it. I just don't know what to even do....my counseler does not help, I cannot build up the energy to put the effort into getting some sort of medicaid or whatever so I could maybe talk to an actual psychologist. I am too embarrased to tell my family I might need more then weekly theapy from a counseler who can't do crap. Which makes it all the more worse especially since I have been feeling very suicidal lately. I just want it to end


Breathe in and out slowly, and focus on it too, how air enters you and then leaves you. You just might feel yourself calming down.

Sweetleaf, you post a lot of how you feel. Many people here have given you support and advice. You need action.
May I recommend:

It is probably in your school library.
Also on anti-depressants --- if one does not work, don't just write them off. There are many different kinds. Try again.

I recall in another thread you mention cannabis as an effective self-medication, Sweetleaf, but said that you couldn't afford it. At this point, the amount you will pay for a dimebag of that medicine will be minimal compared to the unpayable student loan debt you will have for a degree you didn't even complete. Just something to consider.


I'm generally not too okay with the thought of drugs - especially NOT benzodiazepines that were mentioned earlier - please avoid those as they are insanely addictive - however, I think that in this situation, you should try cannabis, if you even have found that it helps. You don't happen to live in California, do you? It's legal, there, now, isn't it? However, if you do choose to try cannabis, again, but do not live there, just be very careful with how you acquire it... thinking about how the dealer would be; not just the law.

I'm sorry that I don't have any better advice. Just, don't tell psychiatrists, psychologists, therapists or any sort of doctor that you feel suicidal. Generally, they aren't even interested in helping, anyway - just interested in "doing their job", getting paid and going home. Meanwhile, while they'd have received their payments to their fake jobs, you'd have loans you can't pay back. So don't do that.

I hope you'll be doing somewhat better, soon. :/

I have found cannabis does help, and my suicidal feelings are not quite as strong now....which is good, but yeah I won't mention it to any psychologists or anything unless I have my suicide method in my hand and am about to do it. I am just very confused about what goes on in my head sometimes. But I guess there is no point in worrying about going over the edge or what will happen after that. I am not over the edge yet so that's something I suppose.
