Hi all new to boards here. I have been suffering from depression for as long as i can remember. However, a few years ago i met a girl who wouldnt 'allow' me to be depressed. She was always making me laugh, distracting me from how I felt, encouraging me to go my counsellor when I didnt want to, making love to me, you name it, she did all a person could. And it worked. For a while.
But the strain on our relationship started to get bigger and bigger, I would be fine for a few weeks then I would just 'shut down;. come in from work and go to bed, cry for no reason etc.
To cut a long story short, she ended it with me several months ago. She (and the counsellor agreed) believed that I was leaning too much on her and needed to find my own strenght, if I could be happy with her then why could I not be happy on my own as well. So we had a trial break of a month where I moved out to parents and she stayed in house. I couldnt even wait a month to see her again and called over and ended up having a huge row.
Eventually i moved back in with her but we remained 'friends'. We ended up in bed together a few times but i kept messing it up - i had to know where we were going and i wasnt concentrating on myself as i should have been.
Speed to recent events and she went off on a trip of a lifetime with friends recently and when she got back, she had changed. She became secretive and began staying out all night sometimes for the whole weekend. When i asked i was told it wasnt my business anymore! suppose it isnt really?
anyway, i confronted her and asked if she had met someone else and she said she had. i was/am shattered. we had another row and she sapt venom at me, said that i was useless, whiner, loser, failure.
She was right. I am. and now I just want to end it all. the only real worries i have are:
Grief of those left.
The trouble that will result - I know my parents will 'blame' her for this even though she is blameless, i have almost ruined her but she survived.
The afterlife.
I think the afterlife scares me more than anything, I am afraid that I will continue to exist with this pain and that scares me so much.
I have already tried once, the night she told me she hated me - I took a lot of pills that night, (deleted part which was not within the guidelines)of each yet somehow I awoke coverd in vomit. I passed blood for a few days and was very sick but seem to have gotten better except i have a pain in my kidneys. i'm hoping it will kill me and have not gone to a doctor about it.
I am going to try hanging by using a belf around a door handle next except te whole afterlife thing keeps getting in my head. if i knew i ceased to exist i would have just put a blade to my throat by now.
I am crying typing this, she was the greatest, smartes, funniest, sexiest girl i ever knew, we were together 7 years and mostly they were good. She has long red hair and beautiful green eyes and i have a picture of the two of us beside the pc. i will never meet her likes again because she was my soulmate, my lover, my best friend. life is empty now without her love yet i still see her everyday (we still live together - lomg story).
I keep listening to REMs everybody hurts and its imploring me to hang on....I dont want to. i just want to go away and cease to be. she is with someone else now i cant stand it anymore. my heart is shattered and i cannot eat or sleep, i cant talk to anyone, stop going to counsellor taking anti-d's and doing anything much anymore. i havent showered in 4 days and i am sure i stink, havent shaved, brushed teeth or clipped nails.
I think i will do it at the weekend and it scares and exhilirates me at the same time.
thats my story.
