I used to think that I should just give up and quit. To be honest, that was all of five minutes ago. I was ready to break down and die, leaving everything and everyone I tried to support alone. I mean, I was supporting my family, my boyfriend, myself, just a lot of people. I felt like the only person who even bothered to support me was God. I was ready to give up everything I had worked for and just lay down and die. Instead, I mustered up my courage and called a crisis hotline. I didn’t want them to call an ambulance (I can’t afford it- one of my stressors), but I needed someone to at least hear me cry. Nobody wanted to see or hear me cry that was around me. I got the help I needed though. I won’t die tonight.

I hear you.
I’m glad you were able to reach out and get help. I hope your life will continue to get better from here. You seem very strong and determined, i wish i had your strength.
Social-outcast, you can begin to gain strength and you can begin to live a happy, fulfilling life.
Be very careful when calling the suicide hotline. I did a while back. They came to my house, scooped me up, took my to the ER and chaptered me. I ended up with a 17k bill which is still wrecking my life. It was a very expensive 4 days and I nearly lost my job. I wrecked my credit which will take years to fix. I have been sued for the costs and have had my wages guarnished. Ironically, I would probably not have as bad of a situation for my own life and children if I did not have all of that “assistance”.
