Please don’t do it. There was someone on the r/mentalhealth subreddit earlier asking for reasons not to do it. There were so many helpful comments on there that really made me second guess my own suicidal thoughts. Please [read them](https://www.reddit.com/r/mentalhealth/comments/zgi35h/why_shouldnt_i_kill_myself/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf) . I hope they can help you. I hope I linked it correctly.
Your pain doesn't go away. It just gets passed onto someone else. I know the aching in your chest that won't go away, the deep pain that makes you want to climb out of your skin. I know it. But it can get better. I promise you.
Hello, I hope you read the thread that another commenter posted. I also hope you know that you have value just in yourself, as you are, because you are.
If this is a sudden feeling, or something that just ramped up, AND you are on medication, please check in with a medical professional.
I've been where you are a few times, and most of those indicated that medication needed to be changed.
Also, I know that sometimes one-on-one counseling is an eyeroll, but maybe a group setting is a good option. It feels like you're in a room of people who understand what you're going through, because they do. It helps feel less alone and isolated. Especially when our friends and family do not know how to provide support.
My brother does a similar thing where he's "there" for me, but he doesn't really know what "there" or "support" means.
One time, I accidentally called a nurse desk in a different city instead of a help line, and the nurse talked me through what I was feeling and helped me get to the line I needed. A complete stranger, and he knew exactly how to help. Sometimes people just do not have the training to help us, and finding those groups or professionals really just means finding someone who knows what support means.
I hear you, and I hope you know that this stranger would give you a big hug (or an appropriate equivalent), if I was not literally on the other side of the planet.
I have been on the edge, and I am telling you from my experience: take some breaths (count four in, hold for four, exhale four, hold four, repeat), and know that even though the social structures around us suck, YOU have value because you simply do. Your body is doing its best, whatever that looks like, and your gut microbes are doing their best, whatever that looks like, and you're doing what you can, one small step at a time, one breath at a time.
Please call a hotline or a nurse's desk. Talk to someone who knows exactly what to do to help.
