    Yeah this is what I was thinking, then I toyed with maybe suiting myself instead. Then I read a thing from the Irish Times on the Samaritans and how they actually ask "are you suicidal" and explained that it gives people a chance to think about whether they actually want to die, or want what they're currently going through to end. I realised that I'm in the latter group, I'd rather not actually die. I just want the **** to stop. And I think (I'm still playing with this thought), that realizing that I don't want to die is probably making the **** easier to deal with than thinking I do want to die but can't because of the effect it would have on my family.

    yea i hear you. tbh i actually wouldn mind to die at all lol..
    it is just that there is a family who loves me lots, including my younger brothers two sons of 3 and 5 years of age, and my older sisters 23yo daughter and 13y son.. i know their lives would never be the same again and they are good people and do not deserve that..

    so (unlike my friend a week ago) i still didn't come to a point where i do not care about them...no matter how hard life is to me...

    and you know, my first suicidal letter i think i wrote when i was 13.. i never wanted to kill myself but preferred just to simply die.. once i almost got to the other side for few minutes but came back.. (apparently i had unfinished business here on earth)..twas when i was 17.. i was simply starvin' myself for few months...
    idk..

    I am going to change my diet this week. I have no problem with carbs but they seem to provoke my anxiety. I am going to change to a more protein based diet.

    Well done on being proactive, GC. I'm trying to wean myself off sugar.

    I've been doing so well lately. Got into a bad 'funk' the weekend. My ears and throat Hurt and loosing my voice.

    I'm absolutely Fcuking sick of this. It's ALWAYS one step forward two steps back. Every single time one thing goes right my body gives up.

    Makes me wonder why the fcuk bother trying to change.

    Sorry mega rant I'm just disheartened and fed up

    Has anyone ever wondered what would happen if they were abducted? Like, would people say, "Oh him/her? Yeah, had mental health problems... Probably committed suicide..." and all the while you could be sitting somewhere, tied up, gagged and bound, hoping that someone comes looking but they've written you off because you're already dead to them.

    I am not allowed any medication because of a heart condition, but I feel bloody awful recently. I feel there's an underlying physiological condition, and it's not all anxiety related.

    It could be an underlying physical condition, i often wonder about that with myself. Conditions like low thyroid function or being low on some vitamins can cause these symtoms.

    It's more than likely anxiety, however, I want verification that it is. Does anyone else have these symtoms? or am I on my tod here?

    That's an interesting topic Scrim. Hard to say how they would react. I suppose they'd look for a suicide note. I don't know the statistics or anything but I wonder do most suicides have notes or not. If no note, then maybe they would retrace your steps, triangulate mobile phone locations, CCTV etc.

    No. I sincerely doubt that your family would write you off as quick as that. And the guards don't just write off missing people as suicide. They would investigate each and every case.

    I doubt it's something serious, however, it is provoking my anxiety. I calculated my calories today and I am heading over 3,500 calories and I am still hungry!

    Yeah exactly. I can just picture it happening :( I'd say it happens far more often than people believe.

    That was a very unique case. The chances of happening to you are extremely slim. It was almost the perfect murder.

    When I was a young child I mostly kept to myself. I didn't socialize much. Sometimes I'd play 'fighting' games with my younger brothers and in the midst of the fun I'd usually start thinking about them dying in an accident or from a disease or something. Or maybe just them dying before I die. You know, happy one minute and the next, dead. That type of thing. When I got this thought I'd get slightly depressed and want to be alone for a while to just sit and think about it.

    While I don't particularly want to die, I'm not afraid of it happening to me.

    I don't know if it's OCD or what. I don't have a feeling that someone related to me will die prematurely but I am scared by the fact that it can happen.
    And before that, when I was an even younger child (maybe four or five) I hadn't a care in the world. When I heard about people dying in accidents I'd always say "Luckily that sort of stuff doesn't happen to me." But now I realize that at least one person who thought that was wrong so I've changed my mind and am now paranoid or something.

    Any help? And no, I will not be fooled by some placebo effect, so don't bother suggesting anti-depressants.
