And still you get done for an aborted suiside attempt.
Tick, tick, tick......where does it end?

Keep posting, nailit. Even cyber-contact is better than none, and at least gets you outside of your own head for a little while.

Better you see the boxes ticked than see nothing occurring. And the ticks are just there to indicate real attempts to help are being made.

I may be stating the obvious, but try not to concentrate/brood on them. Go with the flow. Find something that does calm you, be it walking in the countryside or by the sea shore; or maybe being still, eyes closed, listing to calming music. Maybe take up meditation, or search for a new interest that takes your concentration and leaves less time for you to focus on the aspects of life that are dragging your mood down.

OG - the problem is they tick boxes indicating they tried to help but in reality nothing is done. No further help is offered.

I wish that I could help Nailit but I don't know the answers.

I can empathise with you - I know how it feels to feel so crap that you want to end your life to get rid of the pain.

You have a few friends on here who are in touch with you via email. Try writing to them - explain what it going on in your head. Even doing that might help.
