Hi folks. Please talk to me. I am suicidally depressed right now, and extremely anxious.

1. I have no friends.

2. I am a total failure.

3. My boyfriend has been unemployed since March and can't find a job.

4. My job is insanely stressful right now.

5. I am stuck doing all the housework lately because my boyfriend has a bad back and a bum knee and this is driving me up a wall.

" Hugs back atcha Teardrop! The friend I called is actually a counselor (convenient huh?)...she asked me if I wanted to go to the hospital and I declined because I've been through that song & dance before.

Seriously, Xanax is like my personal savior when I get like this. Xanax and this place and nice, supportive people :) like you! "

" You're not a failure by any means, you're working aren't you. I know it's not the be all and end all but you're job contributes to the community within it is placed.
I know how it feels to not have any friends, or believe you don't. You deserve friends just as anyone does. I know you will find friends here. No question. Please have hope, it's damn hard i know but hold onto it; it will be the key to keeping you alive and give you the chance of improving how you feel and your life in general.
I don't feel able to write much more but i want you to know that you have reasons to hold on, you maybe just can't see them right now.
stay strong and keep your chin up.. "

" What the others said.

If you're suicidal, you need an ER and not DS.

Take care of yourself. "

" And slice,

"you're not a failure, you're working aren't you"...

what's that supposed to mean?

I'm on disability--working or not working does not (at least am trying to drill this in my brain) determine whether we're failures or not. "

" Hi Mindchatter - I don't think slice meant to offend you or me or whoever. Unfortunately a lot of people view working = successful but just because you're on disability doesn't mean you're not successful.

I wouldn't worry about it ;)

So yeah, is there a way to remove this cry for help? I'm kinda over it now and don't want people worrying about me anymore :) not that I don't like the attention of course. "
