It’s been a few months now and these feeling of harming myself haven’t disappeared. Everything started to pile up on me. My A levels, Uncle dying, Being ill and many other factors. The more I left it or tried to forget the more it grew like a cancer in my mind. I would sit and zone out constantly. Always thinking the worst things. A few weeks ago I finally broke down and told my family what I was feeling, probably the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do. Everything started to move along, before I knew it I was talking to a doctor about it and discussing treatment. In my situation it was recommended that I didn’t go on medication and just go with therapy. So after two days of putting it off I finally called the therapists just for them to tell me that I wouldn’t be able to get an appointment for 3-4 weeks and that they would call me when something came up. It’s been a week now and the thoughts of harming myself haven’t gone away. I’m sitting here scared out of my mind because I don’t know what I’m going to do.

I’ve been living with periodic thoughts of suicide for thirty-five years. Death and I are old friends. I can tell you this much about it — it does go away. As frightening as it is now, eventually it fades. In the past I’ve made it through simply by holding on in any way I could until the feelings passed. It doesn’t really matter how you do it. Anything that keeps you on this side of the sod is good. But I promise you, it *does* go away. It may take months, appropriate medicine, and good therapy, but it goes away.
