Hell, if someone needs someone to talk to just PM me. I'm by no means a licensed shrink, but I would rather try than see someone die.

This feels like a good day to drink until I forget who I am.

I have no issues with drinking at all - I do it myself. But to do it in order to forget something on purpose, I think that's a dangerously close walk along a steep slope dear. I'm not being judgmental - I just don't think it would be good for you.

Yes sir it is (a steep slope)..and it doesnt work by the way.. especially if you are "trying to forget who you are".
I also have nothing against drinking..But its never made me "forget who I am"..If anything drinking was/is part of who I am..

Anxiety makes living pretty sucky, and compulsive suicide ideation doesn't help. Feeling dangerously sober right now, countdown until panic attack.

I really don't know how people do it, not even for money. It's as if I'm on a completely different planet or among aliens.
If I die, my only hope is it comes quick and swift, as long as it comes. I really don't feel as if there is anything anymore to look forward to in life. Don't get me wrong, there are so many good people out there who want to help but emotionally I feel drained and empty. I've gotten to the point where it's nothing but survival.
I've gotten to a point now much worse than it use to be. Why look forward to life when all you can consider is loneliness, age, and losing people.

I was going to open a thread about self harm and ran across this. I also was going to make it a general non-personal question but it seems this might be the best place for it,
My family has been going through a rough patch here, for the last 6 months and I think it has just hit it lowest in a while.
Maybe I have always been in denial, I don't know. I'm a mom. I don't want my children to be harmed in any way and now I think I may have done the worst damage to my daughter than she needed. The schools have been asking me to send her for a 72 hr eval. and I have been fighting it for years. I think I ****** up.
You see, she claimed to be cutting herself. once when she was 13(her arm), once when she was 15(her leg) and then once when she was 16(don't know where). The think is I never saw marks, scars, or anything, to my knowledge, to would give the idea she was cutting. Only her word.
So I fought the eval. I saw what it did you my brother and didn't want that to happen to her.
Did I mention she is autistic?
Well, like I said, we have been going through a rough patch, and she has been talking suicide and cutting. we take her to the hospital, they send her home. "she is not suicidal, just upset" they tell us.
Well this time I have been forced to make that decision I didn't want to make.
She was staying with a family friend and woke her up in the middle of the night. Her hand covered in blood. The friend, knowing her history, asked if she cut her hand. she said not but that she couldn't stop the bleeding. Turns out she had taken a needle and thread and sewn a part of her up.The hospital removed 3 stitches, did an eval and sent her home.
My wonderful friend, not being able to get a hold of me, decided to take her to another hospital to see what they have to say. If they recommend the 72 hrs, I will allow it.
I still feel this is somehow my fault. Maybe she wouldn't be this bad off if I had let the schools have their way. I don't know.
But I suppose my question is this... If cutting is not suicide, and she is doing this, claiming suicide. then wtf am I dealing with?

I recommend consulting a counselor.
