For the past, oh, six years of my life, I've wanted to just fall asleep and not wake up. All this time, I've kept going only for my mother who was slowly dying from cancer. She had cancer before I was even born in 1999. She took so many pills, lied to her doctor about things, and all in all, just gave into her own death. She died October, 2015. That was when one of my two friends, who will remain unnamed, entered the hospital for self harming. I didn't want to leave him alone, so I put off killing myself. He's out now. My other friends has repeatedly harmed her body, and will continue to do so. She has lost so fo her own family, and worries about losing me as well. She made me promise not to kill myself. But, as of late, I am growing weary of that promise. I have had two many therapists to count, been put on pills justbto be taken off of them, and no longer have an attachment to my peers, and my "family". I want somebody who can talk me out of this sh!t.
Briefly, My Life Story.

Hey there ByePolar, I'm sorry that's been a rough go for you. I'm sorry about your Mom, I lost mine last year to but I had her for a lot longer than you. That's a tough go and losing one of your friends too. Life can be pretty damn tough my friend. You sound like a good man, standing by your friend while they were in hospital and looking out for them. There's not a lot of people that really care like that these days. I felt like suicide myself until I came here, there's a lot of good people here who care and support you, I guess it makes it easier knowing you're no longer alone and others are feeling like we do. I'd like it if you'd stay around and help others get through the struggles we're going through and we can help each other. Btw welcome to the forum 
my names Brian, but I'm sure you guessed that already. Anytime you want to talk you can pm on the site, also you may like the chat room, it gets pretty active there and they're good bunch.
Take care of yourself and I'll see you around my friend.
Brian

Hi BP and welcome to SF.
I made those same promises and they do weigh heavy after awhile. But we made those promises, they were our choice so we have little alternative but to try and honour them if we can. Talking here might help to that end.
Commendable that you are there for your friends when they need you to be. Let people here be there for you when you need them to be.

Hi there @ByePolar I am sorry for your major loss. The death of a loved one always leaves a hole in your heart that cannot be filled but with time and grievance counselling things can take a turn for the better, I know you have been on pills etc... but please give the mental health services another try, what have you got to lose? Your best friend needs you and you need her, maybe talk to her about what's going on for you now? Have you tried hotlines such as the samaritans, they can be helpful. I really hope you get better and well soon. Best wishes x
The problem, is that I like to provide for people. I like to buy things for my friend, frive her around to things, and all in all just be nice. That' why I made my promise to her. Granted she threatened me, but it's because she cared enough to threaten me that I haven't killed myself yet. Also, I have never liked it when somebody else helped me. People never owe me anything, I always pay back my debts, and I do almost anything if she asks nicely. I can't say no. But it's been awhile since I promised. And it's becoming a burden. Every time I think about, and almost act upon, killing myself I just here myself saying the words, "I promiise". Afterwards, I always feel bad about what I was thinking. It's an endless loop of wanting to die, then not dying, feeling bad, then wanting to again. I will admit, there were days that I feel really good and just want to be nice to everybody, but later that day, somebody says something, and it just kills my day. Anyways, thank you for caring enough to talk to me atlaest a little. Most people just tell me to get over it. I usually don't talk to that person for the rest of the day.
I'm not one for complaining to other people. I like this because I can still pretend that the nice people I meet on here aren't real people. And I'v seen a therapiat for most of my life. Ever since I was five, I've seen one of, well, five therapists. The current one is pretty nice. Most of them said I'm either bipolar or deppressed. Some said to give me pills, and then said don't give me the pills. I just find it hard to trust anybody anymore.
That is understandable. You must have seen a psychiatrist because regular therapists are not allowed to prescribe. There are many people that use this forum that suffer from bipolar disorder, maybe reach out to them? Or start a thread on bipolar? I'm not bipolar myself so cannot really relate to that aspect. But what I do know is you have gotten this far so do not give up now. I'm glad your current therapist is nice and helpful. Do you trust her? What do you feel you could do to improve your life @ByePolar ((hugs)) I care.
Thank you for caring so much as to engage in a conversation with me. This is one of the few, in which, i haven't lied in. It feels strange, knowing that someone actually cares. My current therapist is really nice. We talk about how I feel, what I want to do with the rest of my life, and just how my week has been. He's more like a friend than a therapist to be honest. I don't lie to him offeten. So, I guess that means I trust him atleast a little. And the only way I could improve my life is to get someone special to me. I don't have someone like that any more, so that would be nice to have. Again, thank you so much for caring about my life.
I have lost both of my parents over the years. My mom to cancer. And neither of them opted to have treatment. But this was in the 80's. The pain and grief do become less. But you always remember them. I have their pictures in several places in the house. It is important to remember them. They gave you life. I will never forget my parents, or never stop loving them. You will always feel the loss ByePolar, but it will not always hurt so much. You will start to remember the good times you had with them. And those memories will be precious.
Promising not to kill yourself can be a hard promise to keep. But it is an important one. You are blessed to have someone who cares enough about you to ask you to make such a promise. And you seem to care enough about her to honor that promise. That is a very important base to build the rest of your life on. Your long life. I totally get how therapy can fail, but it is important to keep trying. But often action on your own part is important too. Find something you enjoy doing and do it. Try new things. I just decided to try aroma therapy. The oil and diffuser came today. The pleasant aroma of lemon grass is wafting through my living room. See if you can find one thing new to try each week. It doesn't have to be anything major. But it would give you something to look forward to, and might open a whole new world. Most importantly, don't give up on yourself, or your friend.

I can, and I have. They both know that I have harmed myself before and I tell them when I feel like killing myself. The only problem is, that they're both thei ! own people, and I don't like being a burden to them. They both have harmed themselves before. One of them was even in the hospital for it. He's okay now though. But, yeah. The friend that hasn't been in the hospital yet made me promise not to kill myself. She said that if I killed myself, she would kill her self.
I doubt you would be a burden on them especially as they know what you are going through and how you are feeling and they have had the same thoughts, please keep opening up to them! I hope you speak up and not bottle everything up, it makes everything worse.
I really dislike these type of ''pacts'', they are dangerous and please try not to engage in it. They ARE harmful to you and her.Please keep reaching out and I wish your friends well too

At the moment, I'm busy dealing my own issues but I will promise to help you as you are so young and we are a very supportive group. We all have issues but we support each other in our own ways. Take this virtual hand we offer and I "promise" whilst I am here on his planet "earth" I will get you to see the light. Like I say I'm soulless and hell-bound. I'm not going first class but with the chickens in their coup.

Just think someone in the world sitting on the roadside is caring and thinking of YOU. You are no longer alone in the world. If I am making your cry then that's ok as you these words touch your heart and they having meaning. The tears you cry are tears of hurt and no doubt alone by yourself. Just swipe those tears as it releases the pain from within.
