I am sorry that you feel this way right now. I guess Im in a good place right now, but during my crisis I certainly felt the way you do. I got through it all by drawing on the support of others. I took one moment at a time. I guess I just lived from moment to moment. If it helps drop me a line and I will listen to you.
Meanwhile I am sending positive thoughts your way

Separate yourself from that feeling, and act as if it is a person. Give the same compassion you'd give to someone else who is on a ledge and ready to jump -- give that compassion to this other side of yourself. Ask this person about their needs, desires, and anything that is creating this crisis. You don't have to talk outloud; you can type it like a conversation, draw it like a cartoon, form characters in modeling clay, or use generic little plastic people. Whatever medium you use, make it meaningful, but can also be humorous.
Thinking like this might help compartmentalize the pain into a form that can be more manageable. You can also create another profile here and speak to your self-destructive persona that way. Don't give up. There are ways out of this feeling. It won't last forever. Time will bring you out eventually.

On those really bad days try to focas on something but try not to do to much that will over whelm you and just remind yourself its just a bad day and will pass.I know it is hard as my lows kick my arse and another good option let it all out here cause it does make ya feel better and knowing people here will support you through it.
Trying to find happiness or a reason to carry on is worse than running a marathon or going for a26 mile hike across mountains - i've done both and trust me, the feeling of being drained just sat here thinking about whats happening around me its ten times worse than what I felt after finishing both of them.
I've taken advice like Spidys and focused on my work, my classes at college and my new relationship with an amazing woman, yet selfishly nearly everyday I feel dragged down.
Witty, there are moments when you don't even realize you have switched off these thoughts and eventually after help on here and with proffesional help, these thoughts will become far and few between to almost non existant.
We alll know why we have come to this website, we are all on the cusp of "the end"
I justhope for both of us, and everyone else on here that by September we can look back at this thread as a reminder things can better.
I must admit, I have given myself less time before I do anything to end it but I also need a focus month to say - "thats when things will be normal"
Ramble over :0/

You can't do anything today. It's my birthday. I forbid it.
I don't know you but I do know that a lot of people care for you on here. You also help a lot of people with your replies. I giggle at a lot of your posts (the ones in the coffee house). You'll make someone the happiest guy in the world in the future. If something happened to you that guy will be lonely without you. The same goes for your friends.
I hope I read something from you tomorrow morning. If not, then I hope your happy.
