I find that someone telling me to do something sounds a lot easier than having me actually do it. It's so easy for someone else to tell me to be happy with myself. How do I go about doing that? Where do I start? I want to stand on my own two feet, but I find myself relying on my ex-husband...mostly because I'm too scared to live alone with my children. I need to live independently from him, but I can't just do it "cold turkey." I'm not ready since I'm not happy with myself...much less being by myself and my children.

Depression...or worse?              Reply to this Comment

okay...so i have depression and other problems. But it seems to me that my craving for suicide is becoming worse. I am a 15 year old female who has caring and loving friends, a wonderful boyfriend, and a great dad. [[my mother i dont want to even start on...>.<]] Well, for about 4 years now, i have been struggleing on self-harm. I went to a counceler(sp) and she wanted to send me to this other place. A rehab. Well...my parents havent made any attempt to go for it. And I am getting worse. I am drawing away from my friends, not speaking out so much. I'm starting to take way to many pills and the cuts get deeper. In the past week, I have tried suicide 4 times. I dont know if i can get help on my own, and sign myself into a place..or if i should talk to my mom...which is harder than you think.. I'm just so scared that i am going to go to far...My emotions can be high one minute, then the next i wonder why i am even here.

Honey, I have a daughter the same age and it would KILL ME if she did that. She is struggling with anorexia and I am sure feels much the same you do, but it is coming out in a differnt way. Go to your school counselor and just talk. Or chat anonymously on a 1-800 suicde number, please. Can you do this? today?

While I was attempting to recover, I was sent to the Center Moriches day treatment program for substance abuse. They housed me in one of their satellite sober houses. I was placed in a therapy group with 14 men. I was the only woman. I had to attend this group 3 hours a day. The men in the group would not leave me alone. The staff of the sober houses would not leave any woman alone. They actually provided money and transportation to encourage inappropriate behavior. Needless to say, I relapsed, I walked out of the sober house on May 11 2005 and went back to Brooklyn and Heroin. I am happy to report that I sought treatment again and now live in upstate NY and have spent the last 19 months being clean and sober and happy and productive. I have St. Joseph's of Saranac Lake to thank for that. I urge everyone to keep the faith and keep trying. Peace and Love...Andrea

I was a heroin and xanax addic big time , for 18 yrs. I was found in a lake and almost frozen, O.Ded many times. I went to jail and it changed my life, I got the help I needed and by what I call a miracle I'm here today. lots I mean lots of people I knew didn't make it. That makes me the lucky one. When I hear someone wanting to commit suiside, I understand, but if you can change something in your life you will hopefully change the was you feel. I hope i can keep going the way I am. 2 yrs I'm still doing good, I mean clean for the most part. LIFE can be really great when you stop and look around. I hear a lot of other people say the same that have went many years doing heroin..ONE DAY AT A TIME, sometimes one minute at a time.. Anna Nicole Smith I will miss you...

I'm sorry you are so depressed. I'm wondering what has kept you alive so far? You seem to have a deep desire to live. There is so much more to life than hurting yourself to feel alive. You are a special young woman and you have made it this far. If you can get to the other side of this you may be able to help others that feel just like you do now.

I think you're already out to a great start. You have a clear vision of what you want. Many people in a similar situation are not sure what they want or are at least conflicted about what they want. Feeling uncomfortable is a great place to be. A butterfly when in the cocoon feels trapped and slowly builds the strength to push themselves out and then they fly. You know you want to stand on your own two feet and your smart enough to know that it is a gradual process. You are in the process of building your strength inside your situation. I trust you'll be given the next step.

What to do              Reply to this Comment

I'm a 28 year old stay at home mom with a wonderful husband and fantastic 20 month old son... I also am very addicted to pot. Some may think it's not addictive but I've been doing it for so many years and so frequently that I can't stop. I've tried quitting a zillion times and always fail. It's destroying me physically, mentally, and emotionally. I'll be okay for a little while (in denial) that I can handle the pot and it's not bad.... But then I get really depressed and have bad thoughts of harming myself (which I know I wouldn't ever do, but it is a mental prison). It's hard to stop too when the person you live with also smokes and has no intentions of quitting. I don't know what to do, I can't take this cycle anymore. help

I'm old, I'm wise, please listen. Take care of yourself so you can take care of your sweet baby. Get help and tell your sidekick to either quit, smoke anywhere but around you & the baby or get out!!!! And MEAN it!! Smoking pot is against the law for a reason...It WILL KILL you!! Good luck..I pray for your joyful life.
