If you are feeling suicidal.....

[StarzGuy]

40. It will become a serious problem if you have a plan on how, where and when you are going to

commit suicide. I know this because I also think about suicide off and on all the time. I had a plan and attempted to carry it out by taking an overdose of sleeping pills. I decided that it wasn't time to die so I went to the emergency room and eventually was admitted to the psych ward. I spent about 10 days there. I got counseling and was assigned a psychiatrist, who prescribed appropriate medications for severe depression. Finding out that the meds didn't accomplish much I decided in consultation with my psychiatrist to be treated with a series of ECT (Electro Convulsive Therapy). I had about a dozen ECT sessions. They ended some 4 years ago and I haven't seriously considered suicide since.

I still have severe depression along with a mild case of Dysthymia. Dysthymia (dis-THIE-me-uh) is a mild but long-term (chronic) form of depression. Symptoms usually last for at least two years, and often for much longer than that. Dysthymia interferes with your ability to function and enjoy life.

I've also been diagnosed with PTSD and a personality disorder which was never clearly defined.

Bottom line it's best to get help now, go to an emergency room if you are about to
carry out a plan for suicide.

Good luck
