I will sleep well with your words on my mind.....
You know, I'm sure many are thinking. Quit stalling and get one with it huh?
Emotional blackmail at its worst right here. I urge you to realize that you truly do have your whole life ahead of you.
I've never been an inpatient, that's true. I've certainly been badly enough off to be hospitalized, but I am uninsured and don't want to be stuck with a massive hospital bill for a small pile of Ativan and forced participation in groups.
That's about it.

Depression isnt a temporary problem and having had it for many years, as well as a drug addiction, I can see why suicide is considered a good option.
Tried it twice, one opiate/benzo and alcohol overdose. One seroquel overdose. Two other times many years ago were non overdose attempts.
Apart from meds and doctors youll benefit if you take your mind into happier places instead of focussing
On the negatives.
A pet is a great idea. Mine makes me smile every day.
Also exercise for endorphins. Walking to and from my crap job makes life good.
Also now over 1 month clean.
Life is good. Dont let it pass you by pill.

wise words
pillthrill, no u cant hav a puppy according to ur parents, but had u considered maybe something easier like maybe an adult cat from an animal shelter or something?
even a guinea pig or rabbit can b really loving
or a rat - some ppl r grossed out by rats but some of the best pets ive had hav bn my rats, i used to breed them
theyre easy to care for, can b house-trained (as can rabbits) and r very responsive and cuddly
ive never bn clinically depressed so i cant tell u to 'snap out of it' and refuse to b so ignorant either......but i do hope ur taking in wat evryone has to say to u

Pillthrill, I also think a pet is an excellent idea. I'm sure there is a pound/animal shelter in your area? Go make a visit and see what pet you have a special connection with. I have kitten brothers born of feral parents that bring so much happiness to me. Pets are magical.
Whatever type of pet you get, always give him or her the best of everything. You will get the same right back and then some.

Posts: 65 I love rats. They are so gentle and funny. You would be saving a life. make sure to get more than one though, as they are social creatures. its amazing how similar they are to humans... ever read the book "Dr. Rat" by William Kotzwinkle? anyone with a mental illness needs to read that book. I implore you. "Don't worry, my friend. Once you have been driven completely insane, you will qualify for a degree in psychology." best novel ever written.
