For any one really considering suicide, I have been there myself, only a month ago I was putting some real thought into loading my .22 rifle up with a hollow point bullet, putting the gun in my mouth and pulling the trigger. Today I can truly say that I am happy as hell that I chose to give it just a few more months because in the last 2 weeks I went from feeling like nothing ever changes to witnessing my life do a 180 and would of never believed it myself. To start, my dad who I didn't talk to for over 6 years came back into my life now 9 months sober from a bad alcohol problem and actually now is trying to help fix our past too. Now today to top it all off, an amazing, beautiful girl that I've had a crush on for about 10 years or so just became my girlfriend, she's the only girlfriend or even girl that I've been with in any way physically in close to 2.5 years too. I thought I'd share this because I've posted on this thread before in the last year and I get how it feels to have given up hope. I've spent the last 9 years fighting a huge depression problem, low self esteem and many problems with drugs and alcohol and now I'm falling apart in my 20's, my teeth are eventually going to need to be removed one by one as they start to break away over time, my veins will never work good again and the scars on my arms are disgusting. I chose to accept a fate of letting my self esteem rule my world, too scared of rejection because I already rejected myself, I assumed others would too so I stopped even trying to meet a girl, I had tried talking to my dad before too but he was still drinking and he never cared so again, I gave up hope. It's great that I waited on killing myself because I never could of predicted anything would get better but it did and I'm not special, meaning that if you're thinking about committing suicide, just try to wait as long as possible because shit really can change for the better in just a flash. I still know that shit with my dad could go badly and the relationship I have could end whenever but it gives me personally some hope, I'm going to apply for some jobs now and do my part in making life changes because I really hope this is it, I cant go on living how I was before and I hope that this can be my turn around in life. Next I plan on taking care of my IV bupe addiction too, that's been something that I need to stop lying about to the people I love about.
Thanks to all the helpful people in this thread who have given me advice and help through the bad times so I could be alive for the good and I hope that somebody somewhere here on BL can benefit from this story and hang on in life as long as they can!
