i am 18 years old. about a month ago i dropped out of college in tennessee right before finals after finding out my mother had been stealing money out of my savings account. i basically had a nervous breakdown and my older cousin said i could come live with her in florida until i figured out what i wanted to do next. things got a lot worse once i moved here. i still have not been able to find a job and feel horrible that i am basically forced to live off my cousin and her husband. just a few days ago i wrecked my truck and it is not longer drive-able. so right now it is sitting in the driveway and i am sitting in the house, no way to go out and continue looking for jobs or look for a new truck. i know i am at a dead end and seriously have nothing to live for.
i always get urges to commit suicide, i have been getting them since i was really young. today was pretty bad. i was at a major league baseball game with my cousin, was having fun, then all of a sudden had the urge to jump off of the building. i walked up there and had to mentally talk myself out of it for almost an hour. it was hard because not to sound pathetic, but i really have no reason to live and am only cause my cousin stress. the only reason i did not jump this morning is because i knew a public place was not the right place to do it, and would scar alot of people there.
i used to regularly try to kill myself when i still lived with my parents, before college. i did it about 6 times, all drug overdoses, but i kept waking back up from them unsuccessful. one time my parents caught me and i ended up in the hospital. when i was released (which i definitely should not have been) my mother thought it was funny that i tried to commit suicide, and totally did not care when the doctors told her i had enough coke in my system to kill 2 people. back then i had a very bad drug problem and would take anything i could get my hands on. i do not think this phase is over, and i know i will still take anything put infront of me.
i am not going to deny that i have dangerous mood swings, depression, and possibly bipolar disorder. i am very aware when these episodes hit me and do my best to calm myself down. but lately i dont have the will to live and am sick of pulling myself out of these holes when i know im going to end up right back in them later.

How did your mother steal your money?
Hey, im here for you whenever you need someone
Usa is not the only way to find job. Maybe you have to move country, or find a small job which will make you stronger with time? I’ll help you, if I can. But I do not live in the USA, I live in Denmark. Sometimes you feel like there is no hope, and no places to go, the world just goes against you, but you know what? There is a lot of hope out there, everything is going to be okay. Never kill your self, because then you can’t turn back. Life is a gift, and you’ll be glad in the future, because you didn’t do it. Teenage years are the hardest. I’m not old as well, but listen, I know you have something to live for. There will always be. When you turn sad, listen to some happy music, or go for a walk in the park and look how beautiful the world is. Start to blog about your feelings, it may help, and you will get stronger, and some day strong enough to continoue your life. Don’t give up.
