—Guest anonamus

still think about

In the past I have attempted suicide two times. The last time, 6 months ago, not only was I hospitalized began ECT. I still think about it, but usually think of the consequences if I fail again, (knowing my history I would fail), involuntary admission into the State Hospital and becoming even more of a burden on my family. So I am able to keep it under control, but I still wish that some how my life would end. Every night my last thought is a hope that I won't wake up. Life is not worth livinig, no friends, spouse does not care, there is nothing to look forward to or hope for. So I just live each day as it comes and try to get threw it.
